One Second Champion (2020) - full transcript
How much difference does one second make? Can it be the difference between life and death? A loser single father learns that lesson the hard way when he becomes gifted with the power of seeing one second into the future. When his ability is exposed, a boxing buff persuades him to use his power in the boxing ring. After reviving Hong Kong's vampire genre as the co-director of VAMPIRE CLEANUP DEPARTMENT, Chiu Sin-hang (also the lead vocalist of local band ToNick) combines the boxing genre with a refreshing dash of fantasia in his thrilling solo directorial effort.

We are doing our best
The baby and the mother
stopped breathing
Please wait, Mr. Chow
What is going on?
Hello, I am Chow Tin Yan
My dad said I was dead for
one second when I was born
Since then,
I can foresee a second ahead

"The Today Show"
It is our honor to
have our hot guest today
The boy who claims that
he can peek into the future
One Second Wonder, Chow Tin Yan
To be on our show!
He can only take
a tiny peek ahead
Yan, are you ready?
Here we go
I am nervous
Ok, this one
5 of Hearts
Bingo!
Exactly one second
Next
This one
This might be harder
Jack of clubs
Right again
Also one second
So, Yan, can you guess...
Can you guess
what I am going to say?
Can you tell me...
Yes!
A year ago,
I witnessed a car accident
I saw it before it happened
Then I realized I can foresee
Unexpected events
With practices
When I do this
I can see one second ahead
That's why you are called
the One Second Wonder
Let's see what
our audiences think
About this gifted child
Ma'ma
What do you think about
the One Second Wonder?
One Second Wonder?
Are you nuts?
Oh, that kid on TV?
He should focus more on studying
What do you think about
the One Second Wonder?
One second?
What is it good for?
Use it for horse race betting
Of course
But only one second...
It is not enough
Longer
Just a bit longer will be great
We do not have
any scientific evidence
To prove this power's existence
We can only assume
His reflex is faster than normal
Yan
Have you ever thought about
How to utilize
this one-second foresight?
Dad said my power is useless
But when I grow up
I wanna use this power
and be contributive
Little Yan is so positive
All things in their being
are good for something
I hope when little Yan
is a grown-up
He can make good use
of his special power
One second can
make a huge difference
The result, is unimaginable
Chow Tin-yan
Wake up! Start working!
Yan!
Always sleeping at work!
If my wife finds out,
she'd kill me!
Start working!
Yan, phone call
Hello
Chow Tin-yan, where's my money?
Due date has passed long ago
Do I have to come to you?
No need, thanks
"No need" what? Hey! Hey!
Excuse me,
we still haven't got the wings
Yan!
Go follow up on the wings
Coming
Wings
It's not our order
One Second Wonder, come here!
I wanna introduce
my friends to you
Come, come!
Let me introduce
Chow Tin-yan,
the One Second Wonder
He's a killer at morra
Come on!
Let's play a round
No, I'm busy
If you win ten in a row
This $500 is yours
Here we go
Five! Ten! Again!
None! Twenty!
Fifteen! Twenty! Listen Up
None! Twenty!
Let's go again
Hello, Ying Ngai Boxing
is recruiting
Hello, Ying Ngai Boxing
is recruiting
Hi, we have
different boxing programs
Hi, Ying Ngai Boxing
is recruiting
We have different programs
Please come and check it out
Hello
I'm Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing
I saw you practicing
My assistant just left
But I have a match coming up soon
I really need someone
to spar with
Whose reflex is as fast as yours
I won't charge you
Coach
I'm gonna bounce
What are you doing?
Hi! I'm Yip Chi-shun from
Ying Ngai Boxing
I saw you practicing
The muscle mass of
your upper body is very high
But your footwork
is a bit lacking
And with these strong muscles
Your mobility would be low
What did you say?
I thought we could
exchange boxing tips
You wanna fight?
I can fight too
My boxing gym is nearby,
let's go!
See? So slow
Arms up
What's the matter, coach?
Chi-leung!
So early today
The power was cut
No lights and no air-conditioner
No lights and no air-conditioner
So fast! Again! Again!
I'm grabbing some beer
Happy birthday
What's this?
Your favorite green shapeshifter
Shulk?
This is neither, and it's fat
What
It's the same, they're both green
It just hasn't transformed yet
It's as fat as you
What? Someone broke
your hearing aid again?
Seriously?
I have to talk to
your teacher next time
Hey
Did someone broke
your hearing aid again?
I have to go to your school
To have a chat with your teacher
You say that every time
I was gonna talk to her last time
Whatever, go back to work
Go play morra with the grannies
One Second Wonder
I'm serious
I was gonna talk to her last time
I actually called her
And then...
Welcome to the match
of the century
In red gloves, we have
our Hong Kong champion
Cheng Yiu-jo, Joe
His opponent,
Wai, in black gloves
Looking quite cocky
Doesn't seem respectful
and provoking Joe
I don't think it's a good idea
Joe isn't a pushover
See?
Joe is throwing rapid
chain punches
Following up with an uppercut
Wai passes out on the floor!
Hello, we have seats
What're you doing? Let me go!
Chow Tin-yan. Where's my money?
I'm sorry
I'll pay you back soon
Shortly! Right Now!
Hang up on me?
My new colleague doesn't know me
I'll teach him a lesson for you
Hold on, people
Please be calm
Take your business outside
Right
All the bystanders, get out!
Get out
You guys haven't paid yet!
Let's go! There's a fight
When are you going to pay?
Chi-leung!
When are you going to pay?
Chi-leung Go
Come on! Quick!
Wait!
Wait one second!
Where's my warrant card?
Ah, whatever
What's your name, kiddo?
I'm Chow Chi-leung
Can you tell me what happened?
Nothing
I didn't want to borrow
any money either
If not for my son's surgery
I wouldn't gamble again
It'll be fine once it's paid off
So what happened just then?
Can you be clear?
I was delivering food
A fight broke out in the bar
So I went over and checked
I saw two guys
chasing down the blond one
But they couldn't land
a strike on him
And then...
Hey
And then?
No one could land a strike on him
They couldn't get him in a 2v1
If he's in the ring...
Get to your point
My point is...
Please don't tell my wife
Why not?
Are you hiding something?
You don't have a wife
You wouldn't understand
Hello
I'm Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing
Please don't mind me asking
You showed some great reflexes
during the fight
I wonder if you have ever
been trained in martial arts
-No
-It's fine
But sir, ever thought about
applying your skill to boxing?
No
Alright let me be straight
I have a match coming up
But my assistant left me
I need someone like you
to spar with me
Mr. Chow
Chi-leung is still a kid
This is not a place for children
How could you let this happen?
Ms. Social Worker
I'm a single dad
I need to take care of him,
and I have work
I don't want to get sued for
abandoning my child
Is that all?
Can we go?
Come on
Hey
Mr. Chow!
Mr. Chow!
Please think this through
Come and check my gym out
whenever you have time
Leave me alone
My son needs to go to school
in the morning
That's fine
If you're interested
Call me anytime
-Leave me alone
-Call me
Hey
Chi-leung
Answer me please
That's the fatty
who broke your hearing aid?
Hey
Did you break
Chi-leung's hearing aid?
No, no
What's going on?
I'm Chow Chi-leung's father
My son said your son
broke his hearing aid
Did your son do it?
Does he know he's wrong?
Hey
I have successfully negotiated
potential compensation
Ain't your dad awesome?
It's ok, mom's here
You just need to apologize
Chi-leung, say sorry to auntie
Didn't you
hear your dad, deaf boy?
Yes I'm deaf
What you gonna do?
You see! So rude
How can you say that?
Sorry, sorry
It's great to be deaf
So I don't have to listen to
you people anymore!
So bad-mannered
Sorry, sorry, Chi-leung
Hey
Hey
You're a grown man
Don't pick fights with the shrews
Lunch box!
I don't eat stolen food
You said you quitted
gambling years ago
Aren't you done yet?
I need money for my son's surgery
You think you can win relying
On this one-second power?
If it wasn't for this power
I wouldn't go gamble
If I stopped gambling
I wouldn't have lost
All you do is making up excuses
You... and your excuses!
Just like your dead father
You... and your excuses!
Keep running away from problems
Give me one more chance
I have been working here
for 20 years
Quit it
Without this job
I can't pay off my debt
I paid it off for you
Don't ever come back
Find a new job
Start over
Remember
Don't tell my wife
"Bulk refuse"
Mister
Stop littering, would you?
You litter right in front
of the trash station
How dare you?
Recycling bins are here
Trash bins are there
Which one should you choose
Is all up to you
"Yip Chi-shun"
Hi! Welcome to
my laughter yoga class
Laughter brightens up the world!
Come in
Your body can't tell
if the laugh is real or not
So when you open your mouth
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Your body will produce endorphins
You'll feel happy and relaxed
Sounds good
But... I come here for him
Shun
Mr. Chow! Finally!
Poor man
Sorry,
I leased that area to my cousin
This is the boxing area
Come on
Ying Ngai Boxing was founded
by my father in 1985
We won three
championships in a row
Awesome, right?
I'd like you to spar with me
Mr. Yip
I don't have to fight, right?
Call me Shun.
You need to fight too
I want to represent Ying Ngai
And challenge
the Hong Kong champion, Joex
Is that so?
Ha ha ha ha ha
This is Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo
He throws fast punches
But I think you might
even be quicker
I can tell
Breathe out the waste
Wa ha ha ha ha ha
Will I get paid?
Money...
"Ying Ngai class fee"
"Rent from cousin"
This is for the first week
Let's get started
So soon
Can we start tomorrow?
Okay
See you tomorrow morning
at 7 sharp
I'll be here when I wake up
Wa ha ha ha ha ha
Good job
Take a break
I told you not to come
Let things settle down first
Please leave
Leave my family in peace
Joe is just here to pay respect
One must try their very best
inside the ring
You didn't
This is the consequence
Mr. Chow, why are you so late?
I took my son to school
Ready, five
No! Like this!
Boxing isn't hard at all
Nothing more than defense,
punching, and dodging
Boxing has always been about
survival and competition
But my dad believed that
We don't practice to
beat down the opponent
We practice to fight better
Let me take a break
Hey, break's over, come on
Arms up, keep them up
I'm dying,
can we wait till tomorrow?
Come on, hit me
Fine
Can you use some strength?
Again
Harder
Good
Harder! One, two
Come on, yes
Good, good, throw me a hook
That is not a hook
This is
Come on, the first match
is in a month
I hired you to train
with me, come on
Will you please just let me rest?
If you can't box
Don't scam Shun
Watch your mouth, miss
It's fine
It's fine
We just have to train more
Yeah
Do a hundred push-ups
A hundred
I'll die
Hello, testing, one, two
Testing, testing
Hello
Boss
Chi-leung
Where's my dad?
Your dad
He's working at the boxing club
Did he not tell you?
Say that again
He's working at the boxing club
What?
Remember to practice
smiling at home
When you get used to smiling,
you'll always be happy
Bye
Bye
So tired
Teach fewer classes then
It feels good helping
someone feel positive
You don't even believe in it
Of course I do
How about you?
You don't even
believe in yourself
And you still use my rent
To hire a random...
I don't have money
to hire a real boxer
They charge
a thousand dollar per day
Can't you just be a coach?
I need to make a name for the gym
So I could attract students
But you know you're...
Fine
I promise
If I can't get through
the inter-club match
I'll never enter the ring again
Sorry
I went to buy some stuff
Practice
Excuses
Kiddo, what are you doing here?
Say that again
You can't hear
You need to talk slower
Is Chow Tin-yan here?
Chow?
Harder, twist, twist
Combo
Jab, harder
Arms up, arms up, arms up...
Good, your turn
Harder, twist, twist
Combo
-I can't
-Come on
Give me a break
Chi-leung? Why're you here?
To see if you're boasting
I'm boasting
Hey
What are you waiting for?
Don't you have a match soon?
Arms up
Higher, higher, higher
No time for breaks
when the kid is here, huh?
Nope. You?
Me neither
-Come on
-Alright
You're so good, man!
Oh my god,
your punches are so heavy!
You're awesome bro
Hey, I got you a new hearing aid
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah
Here, patch your dad up
Thank you
Cantonese is fine
Putonghua is alright
Just being respectful
Turn around
It hurts
Ain't your dad awesome?
Ain't your dad awesome?
Awesome?
You only played tough
when I arrived
It's nothing
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Ok?
Dad
What took you so long?
Nothing
Let's go
The next bout is between
Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing
And Kwok Kai-long
from Chu's Boxing Club
Three rounds
Three minutes each
Two boxers
No strike on the back of the head
No strike below the belt
When I say stop,
you stop, got it?
Touch gloves
Be careful
Fight him
Hey
I watched your dad fight
when I was a kid
He's gasping, should we stop?
He has always been like this
Let's wait a little longer
Can you keep going?
Box
Are you okay?
Dad!
One
-Two
-Are you okay?
-Three
-Breathe slowly
-Four
-Come on
-Five
-Take your time
We don't need
the judges to decide
The winner is Kwok Kai-long
from Chu's Boxing Club
You're always like this
Can't even finish a single round
What is this?
Can anyone from
Ying Ngai actually fight?
At least for one round
Hey, this is against the rules
What rules?
It's just a casual match
You people from
Ying Ngai are useless
Like father like son
Just close your gym down
Anyone from Ying Ngai?
I know what you're thinking
No
Do it as a favor
Treat it like a normal practice
This is a special case
Chow Tin-yan will
represent Ying Ngai
Just for one round
Pull back
One
- Are you okay, dad?
- Two
Three
-It's nothing
-Four
OK. Fight
Hey, are you gonna fight or not?
Of course!
You should ask him
Of course I'm fighting
stop messing around
Fight
One
Two
- Dad, get up!
- Three
Start
Clinch when you're out of breath
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Are you okay?
Fight
The match's over
You made it through half a round
What an improvement
I'm still thinking
of dad's last match
Mission complete
I needed you to train me
But, you see
Doctor said there is no cure
It's nice knowing you
You got potential
That punch wasn't easy to dodge
Come practice when you have time
See you
So... I'll go this way
Hey
You guys ever heard
of One Second Wonder
One Second Wonder
Tails
Thirty times in a row
Dead for a second
when you were born
Would that have
changed your brain?
Have you ever had a check-up?
Why didn't you
utilize this talent?
I thought one second
wasn't enough for anything
Hey, one whole second
How many combos can you throw
in one second?
You can turn the tide
This guy Joe
Can throw six punches in a second
I kinda see that
But he's so fast
You can't dodge
even if you could see it
Showing off
your coin-tossing trick again
I'll give him a hand
Brother Dee
What?
Check this out, this is my dad
Your one-second power finally
comes to good use
You can't box forever
You're right,
what you gonna do then?
Think about it,
twenty years later
When you look back
All that One Second Wonder
could do
Was to trick people
in drinking games
And that's the peak of your life
Save it
When you were little
You said you wanted to build
a name for uncle's gym
If you really wanted that
It can be achieved without
entering the ring yourself
Right?
You got my rent
Hire him
First thing first
You'll waive my rent
when you start having students
Hey
I wanna say...
Are you interested in boxing
for Ying Ngai?
I can't pay you much
But we can build
a reputation together
All we need are students
Yeung is pretty good
22 fight winning streak
I know he always
wanted to face Joe
I know Yeung
He could be a good opponent
But, Joe versus Yeung
Doesn't sound gimmicky enough
Since when did boxing
rely on gimmicks?
We can do without it
You versus Yeung
But if you were the sponsor
How much would you pay?
You? How much would you pay?
You guys? How much?
I'll go practice
Ten years ago
There was a teenage boy
Who got beaten
down in an alleyway
I wanted to help
People said
I was looking for trouble
Who gave him shelter?
Who fed him?
And made him a champion?
I just want a real fight
Think about it
If you were to challenge
the world champion
Who would care?
Think further
The exhibition match can
boost your popularity
A major shareholder
withdrew last month
We need resources
To help you go further
Don't be afraid
You won so many matches
in the past few months
Don't panic
and keep your composure
Just go with your usual flow
The first amateur match,
let's go!
In the red corner is Chow Tin-yan
Coach Lai, this stance has a name
It's called a Philly Shell
Yeah
But now in the league
Only top boxers
With excellent speed and skill
Would dare to use this stance
Not sure if Chow
has got what it takes
To knock down his opponent
I'll tailor-make a new tactic
For your one-second power
Drop one arm
Stop using
both arms for defending
Turn your body
Minimize your exposure
Widen your gaze
Unleash your one-second power
White corner
My dad said
You shouldn't focus
on the upper body only
Footwork is crucial too
Remember, push with your toes
Don't stay flat footed
Keep hopping, keep it loose
Sharper the dodge,
the better you box
Look at your opponent
No matter what,
fix your eyes on him
Chow Tin-yan
from Ying Ngai Boxing
He's recognized as the One
Second Wonder from years ago
Who could see one second ahead
Can't tell if it is true
But you see his dodging
reflex is razor-sharp
Don't go head to head,
keep your distance
Cut in from a new angle
White corner
Ain't your dad awesome?
Keep pushing!
One, two, one, two, hook
Hello, Ying Ngai Boxing
Come and check it out
My gym is nearby, come by and see
Hey, your hearing aid dropped
How could you
let your kid be a bully?
Don't let me see your kid
pick on others again
Stay focus
Inhale
Exhale
How come I never saw your mom?
She's gone
Sorry...
She left with some guy
Is this Ying Ngai Boxing?
Yes! Welcome!
"Class fee from Ying Ngai"
Ho ho ha ha ha
I can't finish it, help me eat
You need more protein
Why do you teach people
how to smile?
Yet you act cool at times
My face needs to rest
Drink less
"I paid you back,
check your account balance"
"You owed me, stop bragging"
Help me adjust
Further
To the right
Beat him! Beat him!
Two rounds have gone by
Sung Ngo-yeung couldn't even
land a single strike
Yeah, just take look
at Yan's recent record
He's on a ten fight-win
streak with ten KOs
On the other hand,
Sung "Heavy Hammer" Ngo-yeung
Has twenty-two wins, eighteen KOs
But yet to find a way to deal
with this newcomer
No matter how I throw my punches
He'd be able to see it coming
Impossible
White corner
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Thank you, thank you
Ying Ngai, Ying Ngai
Thank you, thank you
"Medical Check-Up"
Our topic of the day is...
How can you dodge so quickly?
Why would I tell you
if I have foresight power?
Does superpower really exist?
Once known as
the One-Second Wonder
Chow Tin-yan is now
the One Second Champion
Some say he can dodge
any punches thrown at him
Becoming the new favorite
of the boxing league
Yan, what inspired you
to use this power in boxing?
I didn't think too much of it
I always thought
this power was useless
Until I met my coach, Shun
Yeah, it's me
Ying Ngai Boxing is dedicated
to discovering new talents
Our gym is in Tai Po
Doctor, can this sort of power
be proven scientifically?
We ran a brain wave test
on Mr. Chow yesterday
The result is astonishing
Normally brain wave
is a single clear line
With different frequencies
However this time we discovered
double brain waves
A shocking discovery
in the medical field
Son
A TV show can't prove nothing
And even if it did,
it's just pure talent
Uncle Choi
It's been
scientifically proven that
He's not normal
I agree with Yeung
I was one of the judges
of his match once
I knew he didn't do this
on reflexes alone
If that's the case
Shouldn't we take
some time to consider
How we should regulate
boxers' eligibilities?
You just lost one bout
Not necessary
to revoke his license
This isn't about the result
It's about our reputation,
about what's fair
According to
the AIBA Technical Rules
If one's nervous system
can't function properly
The association has the right
to stop this boxer from fighting
Hey
This rule is set
to protect the disables
And to keep them
away from injuries
This rule is set to
assure the match
will be conducted fairly
I fight with what I was born with
How's that not fair?
We have the signatures
from serveral boxers
Who unanimously agreed
To suspend your qualification
No one will fight you
Even if you try
I'll suggest a fair solution
If you can provide
a detailed medical report
To prove that your brain
is back to normal
We'll allow you to fight again
They're just jealous
Twisting the rules
Thank you
No problem, see you next time
Give me a pen and paper
Can you really tell
what's written on this paper?
Before I flip it
What do you want?
Try it
Just one second ahead
Prove it
Joe
Wanna have a chat?
Instant-Killer Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo
from Hunter Boxing
Versus One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan from Ying Ngai
I know everyone is excited
about this game
Should you have any questions,
please ask away
Yan,
if you can
foresee Joe's next move
Don't you think
it's an easy game for you?
When I'm in the ring
It's all about the reflex
Joe, you killed
your last opponent
Would you hold back this time?
A real boxer won't play on
gimmick or superpower
If you're not serious in the ring
You'll pay for it
Come on man, get her some food
Stop meddling, eat your shrimp
I'm full, help me finish
You're drinking again
You want one?
You really think your power...
I don't know
But I have faith
There's a chance
Wow
Did you know
what I was going to say?
Instincts, just instincts
But if I wanted to
use my power to listen
That would work, too
I just don't do that very often
Why?
Things I don't like hearing
I don't want to hear it again
Why do you look so...
Unhappy all the time?
Ever heard of...
Parallel universe
Parallel universe?
It's funny
I keep fantasizing about...
There is another world
With another Yiu
She was never abandoned
by her dad
Never got cheated on
Never had to leave Taiwan
Never had to use laughter yoga
To pretend to be happy
She would just be
genuinely happy,
isn't that great?
I always wondered how
Seeing what happens
one second later
Would affect my decisions
That's more than enough
to change the future
For example, a jab
Coming right at me
I dodge
Then the me who could dodge
And the me who couldn't
Aren't they what
you have just described
Living in two parallel universes
Every second
Every choice
Can create a new universe
Let's hope
Yiu in another universe
Will finally be genuinely happy
You like it? Let's get it for you
I like the striving Shulk more
What's the striving Shulk?
Just for you
I want a rematch
If it wasn't for you
I'd be the one fighting Joe
Do you know how long
I've been waiting for this?
Hey calm down
Screw your power
You know what fairness is?
Let go of me,
I worked hard for it too
So what
Let go of him
Are you crazy?
Wake up...
Hello, please, 51 Wan Tau Street
There's a car crash come quickly
Mr. Chow,
you had a severe concussion
in the crash
We ran tests
There's no internal
bleeding or hematoma
We did a brain wave test
As requested
Mr. Chow, you're lucky
Everything looks normal
As for your son
He's out of critical stage now
But there's still some
stasis under the skull
He will be unconscious for now
And requires hospitalization
Meanwhile
Please keep him company
Please keep fighting
Shun
The doctor said my brain
wave is normal now
Maybe my power is gone
Anyhow we'll wait
until Chi-leung recovers
Once upon a time, there's a boy
He was born with superpower
His world was different
than the others
But he was
scared of the differences
Scared of his power
He never cherished it
Then he had a kid
The kid was just like his dad
With a different vision
than the others
No one had faith in him
But he had outdone his dad
Even though everyone
looked down on him
He was determined
Determined to prove himself
Does the accident have an impact
on your fight with Joe?
Rumor has it that you
lost your power,
is it true?
What are you doing here?
Sorry...
For you and your son
to be in this situation
This is all my fault
Just leave
I saw the news
You're quitting the fight?
What do you want?
I think you should go for it
What's up with you?
You were the one
who told me not to fight
You were the one
who got my son injured
Now you're encouraging me
to fight?
I didn't want you to fight
Because I thought it wasn't fair
You don't understand...
How hard it is to be a boxer
Knowing it's a lost cause
Knowing you'll be injured
Losing his life
He has to keep on going
I caused your power to disappear
That was all my fault
I won't beg for your forgiveness
But that's why
You can tell the world
Why you stepped into the ring
Take care
Chi-leung?
Chi-leung, you're awake?
Where's my hearing aid?
Am I deaf?
No
Let me check the hearing aid
I... I don't wanna be deaf
No...
I don't wanna miss your voice!
The battery ran out
It's okay
Oops
It's ok it's okay
Actually...
I hated it when my classmates
call me deaf boy
I don't wanna
pretend I can hear them
Why?
Why can't I be like other kids?
Am I useless?
No
No
You've always been a good boy
When you were little
I was worried you'd be scared
Whenever lightning struck
But you weren't
You were having fun
That's when I know
My son is way better
than the others
Because he's just like his dad
They both have superpowers
Our superpower is...
We'll never give up
I'm fighting Joe
For my whole life
I see one second ahead
Yet I kept running away
from everything
But not this time
I wanna prove that
I'm more than that one second
Okay
No more running away
We'll do this together
Your dodging has improved
from all your fights
But you were relying on
your one-second vision too much
Without it now
You'd have to improve
your muscle memories
Three
Four
Are you good?
Joe punches really hard
Build endurance, practice,
and toughen up
One, two, three, four, block!
Again!
One, two, three, four, block!
Two, three, four, five
Fourteen
Fifteen
Thirty-seven,
thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty
Thirty-one
Why did you stop?
Get him!
Again! Up!
Dad, are you scared?
If you don't answer
I'll take off
my hearing aid and run
Without the hearing aid
All I feel is my own heartbeat
I won't be scared anymore
After eight matches
It's time for the grand finale
Instant-Killer Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo
Versus One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan
Complying with
the WBO regulations
This will be a 10-round bout,
three minutes each
This contestant
Has been in the ring
for only half a year
11 fights in
his professional career,
11 wins
10 KOs, 1 TKO
People called him
the One Second Wonder
Because he allegedly
can foresee one second ahead
Now, he uses his power for boxing
Thus transformed into
One Second Champion!
I'm satisfied. Just to be here
Be careful up there
You could've told me earlier
First, Joe's challenger
From Ying Ngai Boxing
136lb, One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan
Hooray!
And, last but not least
From Hunter Boxing
Instant-Killer Joe
Cheng Yiu-Jo, Joe!
23 fights in his
professional career, 23 wins
12 KOs, 4 TKOs
In the red corner
Is Chow Tin-yan
In the blue corner
Is Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo
Calm down,
there's nothing to be afraid of
Please welcome our referee, Roger
Gentlemen,
protect yourselves at all times
Listen to me
and follow my instructions
Are we clear?
Touch gloves
Back to your corner
Don't lose your rhythm
Remember what you've practiced
You've come all this way,
finish it!
Maintain your rhythm
You know how hard it is
to land a strike on him, right?
I don't care
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Box
Arms up! Arms up!
Doesn't Chow always
use the Philly Shell stance?
Why is he using both arms
for defending?
This is no game,
Joe's last opponent
Was fatally injured by him
Everyone knows
Joe doesn't back away
Of course you need to parry
But Chow has
his one-second vision, right?
Meaning he can predict
the opponent's next move
But I also heard Chow
was in a car crash
He might not have it anymore
Knocked down by Joe
This is unusual
Does it mean the rumors are true?
Or
Maybe that the so-called power
is just a gimmick
Against a masterclass like Joe
This will be a real test for Chow
Okay?
Box
Box
Stop! Back to the corners!
- Hey!
- Back to the corners!
Are you okay? Can you stand up?
Back to your corner first
I'm warning you
Tossing is against the rules
Do it again,
and I'll deduct your score
Understand?
Understand?

Hang in there
Hang in there
Stop
Good!
Hey
Listen,
there's nothing to be afraid of
Remember what you've trained
What are you here for?
Keep your arms up,

Drag out the fight
You're doing great,
make it a show

Joe is knocked down
He got up right away,
but according to the record
Joe has never been
knocked down before
He never got knocked down before
During the match with Cho Lap-wai
Joe injured his ribs
The old wound
might have gotten hit
Yan must've spent a lot of time
To study Joe's style
Joe threw a right hook
With another uppercut
His elbow knocked
on Chow's canthus
The medic is here,
let's see if he can continue
Are you okay?
How many fingers?
Four
- Can he continue?
- Yes
You okay? Are you okay?
Coach,
are you letting him continue?
If only I have the power...
You're on your own
every second in the ring
Boxer, can you continue?
Can you?
- Can you?
- Yes
Let's go!

Stop!
You're putting on a great show,

I'm also a real boxer
You've outdone yourself
You're pushing too hard
Let me finish it...
Let me finish it...
You're almost there, keep it up
He's over
He's not gonna make it
Thank you, Shun
Be careful
Usually, Joe can knock down
his opponent
in four to five rounds
It's unbelievable how this match
against the One Second Champion
Will reach the last final round
Stick to it, Yan!

Chow Tin-yan
It's over, bro, it's over
You finished a real match
Chi-leung!
Ain't your dad awesome?
Yes!
Tell them
My dad's awesome!
After ten rounds
of intense boxing
Our judges
have made their decision
With different scores
from the judges
First round...
Hello, I am Chow Tin Yan
My dad said I was dead for
one second when I was born
Since then, I can foresee
one second ahead
I always thought
It's crucial to see the future
But I finally understand
One second
Can make a big difference
The result is unimaginable
So, in this second
What are you waiting for?
Doctor, how is my wife?
How is my wife?
We are doing our best
The baby and the mother
stopped breathing
Please wait, Mr. Chow
What is going on?
Hello, I am Chow Tin Yan
My dad said I was dead for
one second when I was born
Since then,
I can foresee a second ahead

"The Today Show"
It is our honor to
have our hot guest today
The boy who claims that
he can peek into the future
One Second Wonder, Chow Tin Yan
To be on our show!
He can only take
a tiny peek ahead
Yan, are you ready?
Here we go
I am nervous
Ok, this one
5 of Hearts
Bingo!
Exactly one second
Next
This one
This might be harder
Jack of clubs
Right again
Also one second
So, Yan, can you guess...
Can you guess
what I am going to say?
Can you tell me...
Yes!
A year ago,
I witnessed a car accident
I saw it before it happened
Then I realized I can foresee
Unexpected events
With practices
When I do this
I can see one second ahead
That's why you are called
the One Second Wonder
Let's see what
our audiences think
About this gifted child
Ma'ma
What do you think about
the One Second Wonder?
One Second Wonder?
Are you nuts?
Oh, that kid on TV?
He should focus more on studying
What do you think about
the One Second Wonder?
One second?
What is it good for?
Use it for horse race betting
Of course
But only one second...
It is not enough
Longer
Just a bit longer will be great
We do not have
any scientific evidence
To prove this power's existence
We can only assume
His reflex is faster than normal
Yan
Have you ever thought about
How to utilize
this one-second foresight?
Dad said my power is useless
But when I grow up
I wanna use this power
and be contributive
Little Yan is so positive
All things in their being
are good for something
I hope when little Yan
is a grown-up
He can make good use
of his special power
One second can
make a huge difference
The result, is unimaginable
Chow Tin-yan
Wake up! Start working!
Yan!
Always sleeping at work!
If my wife finds out,
she'd kill me!
Start working!
Yan, phone call
Hello
Chow Tin-yan, where's my money?
Due date has passed long ago
Do I have to come to you?
No need, thanks
"No need" what? Hey! Hey!
Excuse me,
we still haven't got the wings
Yan!
Go follow up on the wings
Coming
Wings
It's not our order
One Second Wonder, come here!
I wanna introduce
my friends to you
Come, come!
Let me introduce
Chow Tin-yan,
the One Second Wonder
He's a killer at morra
Come on!
Let's play a round
No, I'm busy
If you win ten in a row
This $500 is yours
Here we go
Five! Ten! Again!
None! Twenty!

Hi, Ying Ngai Boxing

We have different programs
Please come and check it out
Hello
I'm Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing
I saw you practicing
My assistant just left
But I have a match coming up soon
I really need someone
to spar with
Whose reflex is as fast as yours
I won't charge you
Coach
I'm gonna bounce
What are you doing?
Hi! I'm Yip Chi-shun from
Ying Ngai Boxing
I saw you practicing
The muscle mass of
your upper body is very high
But your footwork
is a bit lacking
And with these strong muscles
Your mobility would be low
What did you say?
I thought we could
exchange boxing tips
You wanna fight?
I can fight too
My boxing gym is nearby,
let's go!
See? So slow
Arms up
What's the matter, coach?
Chi-leung!
So early today
The power was cut
No lights and no air-conditioner
No lights and no air-conditioner
So fast! Again! Again!
I'm grabbing some beer
Happy birthday
What's this?
Your favorite green shapeshifter
Shulk?
This is neither, and it's fat
What
It's the same, they're both green
It just hasn't transformed yet
It's as fat as you
What? Someone broke
your hearing aid again?
Seriously?
I have to talk to
your teacher next time
Hey
Did someone broke
your hearing aid again?
I have to go to your school
To have a chat with your teacher
You say that every time
I was gonna talk to her last time
Whatever, go back to work
Go play morra with the grannies
One Second Wonder
I'm serious
I was gonna talk to her last time
I actually called her
And then...
Welcome to the match
of the century
In red gloves, we have
our Hong Kong champion
Cheng Yiu-jo, Joe
His opponent,
Wai, in black gloves
Looking quite cocky
Doesn't seem respectful
and provoking Joe
I don't think it's a good idea
Joe isn't a pushover
See?
Joe is throwing rapid
chain punches
Following up with an uppercut
Wai passes out on the floor!
Hello, we have seats
What're you doing? Let me go!
Chow Tin-yan. Where's my money?
I'm sorry
I'll pay you back soon
Shortly! Right Now!
Hang up on me?
My new colleague doesn't know me
I'll teach him a lesson for you
Hold on, people
Please be calm
Take your business outside
Right
All the bystanders, get out!
Get out
You guys haven't paid yet!
Let's go! There's a fight
When are you going to pay?
Chi-leung!
When are you going to pay?
Chi-leung Go
Come on! Quick!
Wait!
Wait one second!
Where's my warrant card?
Ah, whatever
What's your name, kiddo?
I'm Chow Chi-leung
Can you tell me what happened?
Nothing
I didn't want to borrow
any money either
If not for my son's surgery
I wouldn't gamble again
It'll be fine once it's paid off
So what happened just then?
Can you be clear?
I was delivering food
A fight broke out in the bar
So I went over and checked
I saw two guys
chasing down the blond one
But they couldn't land
a strike on him
And then...
Hey
And then?
No one could land a strike on him
They couldn't get him in a 2v1
If he's in the ring...
Get to your point
My point is...
Please don't tell my wife
Why not?
Are you hiding something?
You don't have a wife
You wouldn't understand
Hello
I'm Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing
Please don't mind me asking
You showed some great reflexes
during the fight
I wonder if you have ever
been trained in martial arts
-No
-It's fine
But sir, ever thought about
applying your skill to boxing?
No
Alright let me be straight
I have a match coming up
But my assistant left me
I need someone like you
to spar with me
Mr. Chow
Chi-leung is still a kid
This is not a place for children
How could you let this happen?
Ms. Social Worker
I'm a single dad
I need to take care of him,
and I have work
I don't want to get sued for
abandoning my child
Is that all?
Can we go?
Come on
Hey
Mr. Chow!
Mr. Chow!
Please think this through
Come and check my gym out
whenever you have time
Leave me alone
My son needs to go to school
in the morning
That's fine
If you're interested
Call me anytime
-Leave me alone
-Call me
Hey
Chi-leung
Answer me please
That's the fatty
who broke your hearing aid?
Hey
Did you break
Chi-leung's hearing aid?
No, no
What's going on?
I'm Chow Chi-leung's father
My son said your son
broke his hearing aid
Did your son do it?
Does he know he's wrong?
Hey
I have successfully negotiated
potential compensation
Ain't your dad awesome?
It's ok, mom's here
You just need to apologize
Chi-leung, say sorry to auntie
Didn't you
hear your dad, deaf boy?
Yes I'm deaf
What you gonna do?
You see! So rude
How can you say that?
Sorry, sorry
It's great to be deaf
So I don't have to listen to
you people anymore!
So bad-mannered
Sorry, sorry, Chi-leung
Hey
Hey
You're a grown man
Don't pick fights with the shrews
Lunch box!
I don't eat stolen food
You said you quitted
gambling years ago
Aren't you done yet?
I need money for my son's surgery
You think you can win relying
On this one-second power?
If it wasn't for this power
I wouldn't go gamble
If I stopped gambling
I wouldn't have lost
All you do is making up excuses
You... and your excuses!
Just like your dead father
You... and your excuses!
Keep running away from problems
Give me one more chance
I have been working here
for 20 years
Quit it
Without this job
I can't pay off my debt
I paid it off for you
Don't ever come back
Find a new job
Start over
Remember
Don't tell my wife
"Bulk refuse"
Mister
Stop littering, would you?
You litter right in front
of the trash station
How dare you?
Recycling bins are here
Trash bins are there
Which one should you choose
Is all up to you
"Yip Chi-shun"
Hi! Welcome to
my laughter yoga class
Laughter brightens up the world!
Come in
Your body can't tell
if the laugh is real or not
So when you open your mouth
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Your body will produce endorphins
You'll feel happy and relaxed
Sounds good
But... I come here for him
Shun
Mr. Chow! Finally!
Poor man
Sorry,
I leased that area to my cousin
This is the boxing area
Come on
Ying Ngai Boxing was founded
by my father in 1985
We won three
championships in a row
Awesome, right?
I'd like you to spar with me
Mr. Yip
I don't have to fight, right?
Call me Shun.
You need to fight too
I want to represent Ying Ngai
And challenge
the Hong Kong champion, Joex
Is that so?
Ha ha ha ha ha
This is Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo
He throws fast punches
But I think you might
even be quicker
I can tell
Breathe out the waste
Wa ha ha ha ha ha
Will I get paid?
Money...
"Ying Ngai class fee"
"Rent from cousin"
This is for the first week
Let's get started
So soon
Can we start tomorrow?
Okay
See you tomorrow morning
at 7 sharp
I'll be here when I wake up
Wa ha ha ha ha ha
Good job
Take a break
I told you not to come
Let things settle down first
Please leave
Leave my family in peace
Joe is just here to pay respect
One must try their very best
inside the ring
You didn't
This is the consequence
Mr. Chow, why are you so late?
I took my son to school
Ready, five
No! Like this!
Boxing isn't hard at all
Nothing more than defense,
punching, and dodging
Boxing has always been about
survival and competition
But my dad believed that
We don't practice to
beat down the opponent
We practice to fight better
Let me take a break
Hey, break's over, come on
Arms up, keep them up
I'm dying,
can we wait till tomorrow?
Come on, hit me
Fine
Can you use some strength?
Again
Harder
Good
Harder! One, two
Come on, yes
Good, good, throw me a hook
That is not a hook
This is
Come on, the first match
is in a month
I hired you to train
with me, come on
Will you please just let me rest?
If you can't box
Don't scam Shun
Watch your mouth, miss
It's fine
It's fine
We just have to train more
Yeah
Do a hundred push-ups
A hundred
I'll die
Hello, testing, one, two
Testing, testing
Hello
Boss
Chi-leung
Where's my dad?
Your dad
He's working at the boxing club
Did he not tell you?
Say that again
He's working at the boxing club
What?
Remember to practice
smiling at home
When you get used to smiling,
you'll always be happy
Bye
Bye
So tired
Teach fewer classes then
It feels good helping
someone feel positive
You don't even believe in it
Of course I do
How about you?
You don't even
believe in yourself
And you still use my rent
To hire a random...
I don't have money
to hire a real boxer
They charge
a thousand dollar per day
Can't you just be a coach?
I need to make a name for the gym
So I could attract students
But you know you're...
Fine
I promise
If I can't get through
the inter-club match
I'll never enter the ring again
Sorry
I went to buy some stuff
Practice
Excuses
Kiddo, what are you doing here?
Say that again
You can't hear
You need to talk slower
Is Chow Tin-yan here?
Chow?
Harder, twist, twist
Combo
Jab, harder
Arms up, arms up, arms up...
Good, your turn
Harder, twist, twist
Combo
-I can't
-Come on
Give me a break
Chi-leung? Why're you here?
To see if you're boasting
I'm boasting
Hey
What are you waiting for?
Don't you have a match soon?
Arms up
Higher, higher, higher
No time for breaks
when the kid is here, huh?
Nope. You?
Me neither
-Come on
-Alright
You're so good, man!
Oh my god,
your punches are so heavy!
You're awesome bro
Hey, I got you a new hearing aid
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah
Here, patch your dad up
Thank you
Cantonese is fine
Putonghua is alright
Just being respectful
Turn around
It hurts
Ain't your dad awesome?
Ain't your dad awesome?
Awesome?
You only played tough
when I arrived
It's nothing
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Ok?
Dad
What took you so long?
Nothing
Let's go
The next bout is between
Yip Chi-shun
from Ying Ngai Boxing
And Kwok Kai-long
from Chu's Boxing Club
Three rounds
Three minutes each
Two boxers
No strike on the back of the head
No strike below the belt
When I say stop,
you stop, got it?
Touch gloves
Be careful
Fight him
Hey
I watched your dad fight
when I was a kid
He's gasping, should we stop?
He has always been like this
Let's wait a little longer
Can you keep going?
Box
Are you okay?
Dad!
One
-Two
-Are you okay?
-Three
-Breathe slowly
-Four
-Come on
-Five
-Take your time
We don't need
the judges to decide
The winner is Kwok Kai-long
from Chu's Boxing Club
You're always like this
Can't even finish a single round
What is this?
Can anyone from
Ying Ngai actually fight?
At least for one round
Hey, this is against the rules
What rules?
It's just a casual match
You people from
Ying Ngai are useless
Like father like son
Just close your gym down
Anyone from Ying Ngai?
I know what you're thinking
No
Do it as a favor
Treat it like a normal practice
This is a special case
Chow Tin-yan will
represent Ying Ngai
Just for one round
Pull back
One
- Are you okay, dad?
- Two
Three
-It's nothing
-Four
OK. Fight
Hey, are you gonna fight or not?
Of course!
You should ask him
Of course I'm fighting
stop messing around
Fight
One
Two
- Dad, get up!
- Three
Start
Clinch when you're out of breath
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Are you okay?
Fight
The match's over
You made it through half a round
What an improvement
I'm still thinking
of dad's last match
Mission complete
I needed you to train me
But, you see
Doctor said there is no cure
It's nice knowing you
You got potential
That punch wasn't easy to dodge
Come practice when you have time
See you
So... I'll go this way
Hey
You guys ever heard
of One Second Wonder
One Second Wonder
Tails
Thirty times in a row
Dead for a second
when you were born
Would that have
changed your brain?
Have you ever had a check-up?
Why didn't you
utilize this talent?
I thought one second
wasn't enough for anything
Hey, one whole second
How many combos can you throw
in one second?
You can turn the tide
This guy Joe
Can throw six punches in a second
I kinda see that
But he's so fast
You can't dodge
even if you could see it
Showing off
your coin-tossing trick again
I'll give him a hand
Brother Dee
What?
Check this out, this is my dad
Your one-second power finally
comes to good use
You can't box forever
You're right,
what you gonna do then?
Think about it,
twenty years later
When you look back
All that One Second Wonder
could do
Was to trick people
in drinking games
And that's the peak of your life
Save it
When you were little
You said you wanted to build
a name for uncle's gym
If you really wanted that
It can be achieved without
entering the ring yourself
Right?
You got my rent
Hire him
First thing first
You'll waive my rent
when you start having students
Hey
I wanna say...
Are you interested in boxing
for Ying Ngai?
I can't pay you much
But we can build
a reputation together
All we need are students
Yeung is pretty good
22 fight winning streak
I know he always
wanted to face Joe
I know Yeung
He could be a good opponent
But, Joe versus Yeung
Doesn't sound gimmicky enough
Since when did boxing
rely on gimmicks?
We can do without it
You versus Yeung
But if you were the sponsor
How much would you pay?
You? How much would you pay?
You guys? How much?
I'll go practice
Ten years ago
There was a teenage boy
Who got beaten
down in an alleyway
I wanted to help
People said
I was looking for trouble
Who gave him shelter?
Who fed him?
And made him a champion?
I just want a real fight
Think about it
If you were to challenge
the world champion
Who would care?
Think further
The exhibition match can
boost your popularity
A major shareholder
withdrew last month
We need resources
To help you go further
Don't be afraid
You won so many matches
in the past few months
Don't panic
and keep your composure
Just go with your usual flow
The first amateur match,
let's go!
In the red corner is Chow Tin-yan
Coach Lai, this stance has a name
It's called a Philly Shell
Yeah
But now in the league
Only top boxers
With excellent speed and skill
Would dare to use this stance
Not sure if Chow
has got what it takes
To knock down his opponent
I'll tailor-make a new tactic
For your one-second power
Drop one arm
Stop using
both arms for defending
Turn your body
Minimize your exposure
Widen your gaze
Unleash your one-second power
White corner
My dad said
You shouldn't focus
on the upper body only
Footwork is crucial too
Remember, push with your toes
Don't stay flat footed
Keep hopping, keep it loose
Sharper the dodge,
the better you box
Look at your opponent
No matter what,
fix your eyes on him
Chow Tin-yan
from Ying Ngai Boxing
He's recognized as the One
Second Wonder from years ago
Who could see one second ahead
Can't tell if it is true
But you see his dodging
reflex is razor-sharp
Don't go head to head,
keep your distance
Cut in from a new angle
White corner
Ain't your dad awesome?
Keep pushing!
One, two, one, two, hook
Hello, Ying Ngai Boxing
Come and check it out
My gym is nearby, come by and see
Hey, your hearing aid dropped
How could you
let your kid be a bully?
Don't let me see your kid
pick on others again
Stay focus
Inhale
Exhale
How come I never saw your mom?
She's gone
Sorry...
She left with some guy
Is this Ying Ngai Boxing?
Yes! Welcome!
"Class fee from Ying Ngai"
Ho ho ha ha ha
I can't finish it, help me eat
You need more protein
Why do you teach people
how to smile?
Yet you act cool at times
My face needs to rest
Drink less
"I paid you back,
check your account balance"
"You owed me, stop bragging"
Help me adjust
Further
To the right
Beat him! Beat him!
Two rounds have gone by
Sung Ngo-yeung couldn't even
land a single strike
Yeah, just take look
at Yan's recent record
He's on a ten fight-win
streak with ten KOs
On the other hand,
Sung "Heavy Hammer" Ngo-yeung
Has twenty-two wins, eighteen KOs
But yet to find a way to deal
with this newcomer
No matter how I throw my punches
He'd be able to see it coming
Impossible

Thank you, thank you
Ying Ngai, Ying Ngai
Thank you, thank you
"Medical Check-Up"
Our topic of the day is...
How can you dodge so quickly?
Why would I tell you
if I have foresight power?
Does superpower really exist?
Once known as
the One-Second Wonder
Chow Tin-yan is now
the One Second Champion
Some say he can dodge
any punches thrown at him
Becoming the new favorite
of the boxing league
Yan, what inspired you
to use this power in boxing?
I didn't think too much of it
I always thought
this power was useless
Until I met my coach, Shun
Yeah, it's me
Ying Ngai Boxing is dedicated
to discovering new talents
Our gym is in Tai Po
Doctor, can this sort of power
be proven scientifically?
We ran a brain wave test
on Mr. Chow yesterday
The result is astonishing
Normally brain wave
is a single clear line
With different frequencies
However this time we discovered
double brain waves
A shocking discovery
in the medical field
Son
A TV show can't prove nothing
And even if it did,
it's just pure talent
Uncle Choi
It's been
scientifically proven that
He's not normal
I agree with Yeung
I was one of the judges
of his match once
I knew he didn't do this
on reflexes alone
If that's the case
Shouldn't we take
some time to consider
How we should regulate
boxers' eligibilities?
You just lost one bout
Not necessary
to revoke his license
This isn't about the result
It's about our reputation,
about what's fair
According to
the AIBA Technical Rules
If one's nervous system
can't function properly
The association has the right
to stop this boxer from fighting
Hey
This rule is set
to protect the disables
And to keep them
away from injuries
This rule is set to
assure the match
will be conducted fairly
I fight with what I was born with
How's that not fair?
We have the signatures
from serveral boxers
Who unanimously agreed
To suspend your qualification
No one will fight you
Even if you try
I'll suggest a fair solution
If you can provide
a detailed medical report
To prove that your brain
is back to normal
We'll allow you to fight again
They're just jealous
Twisting the rules
Thank you
No problem, see you next time
Give me a pen and paper
Can you really tell
what's written on this paper?
Before I flip it
What do you want?
Try it
Just one second ahead
Prove it
Joe
Wanna have a chat?
Instant-Killer Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo
from Hunter Boxing
Versus One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan from Ying Ngai
I know everyone is excited
about this game
Should you have any questions,
please ask away
Yan,
if you can
foresee Joe's next move
Don't you think
it's an easy game for you?
When I'm in the ring
It's all about the reflex
Joe, you killed
your last opponent
Would you hold back this time?
A real boxer won't play on
gimmick or superpower
If you're not serious in the ring
You'll pay for it
Come on man, get her some food
Stop meddling, eat your shrimp
I'm full, help me finish
You're drinking again
You want one?
You really think your power...
I don't know
But I have faith
There's a chance
Wow
Did you know
what I was going to say?
Instincts, just instincts
But if I wanted to
use my power to listen
That would work, too
I just don't do that very often
Why?
Things I don't like hearing
I don't want to hear it again
Why do you look so...
Unhappy all the time?
Ever heard of...
Parallel universe
Parallel universe?
It's funny
I keep fantasizing about...
There is another world
With another Yiu
She was never abandoned
by her dad
Never got cheated on
Never had to leave Taiwan
Never had to use laughter yoga
To pretend to be happy
She would just be
genuinely happy,
isn't that great?
I always wondered how
Seeing what happens
one second later
Would affect my decisions
That's more than enough
to change the future
For example, a jab
Coming right at me
I dodge
Then the me who could dodge
And the me who couldn't
Aren't they what
you have just described
Living in two parallel universes
Every second
Every choice
Can create a new universe
Let's hope
Yiu in another universe
Will finally be genuinely happy
You like it? Let's get it for you
I like the striving Shulk more
What's the striving Shulk?
Just for you
I want a rematch
If it wasn't for you
I'd be the one fighting Joe
Do you know how long
I've been waiting for this?
Hey calm down
Screw your power
You know what fairness is?
Let go of me,
I worked hard for it too
So what
Let go of him
Are you crazy?
Wake up...
Hello, please, 51 Wan Tau Street
There's a car crash come quickly
Mr. Chow,
you had a severe concussion
in the crash
We ran tests
There's no internal
bleeding or hematoma
We did a brain wave test
As requested
Mr. Chow, you're lucky
Everything looks normal
As for your son
He's out of critical stage now
But there's still some
stasis under the skull
He will be unconscious for now
And requires hospitalization
Meanwhile
Please keep him company
Please keep fighting
Shun
The doctor said my brain
wave is normal now
Maybe my power is gone
Anyhow we'll wait
until Chi-leung recovers
Once upon a time, there's a boy
He was born with superpower
His world was different
than the others
But he was
scared of the differences
Scared of his power
He never cherished it
Then he had a kid
The kid was just like his dad
With a different vision
than the others
No one had faith in him
But he had outdone his dad
Even though everyone
looked down on him
He was determined
Determined to prove himself
Does the accident have an impact
on your fight with Joe?
Rumor has it that you
lost your power,
is it true?
What are you doing here?
Sorry...
For you and your son
to be in this situation
This is all my fault
Just leave
I saw the news
You're quitting the fight?
What do you want?
I think you should go for it
What's up with you?
You were the one
who told me not to fight
You were the one
who got my son injured
Now you're encouraging me
to fight?
I didn't want you to fight
Because I thought it wasn't fair
You don't understand...
How hard it is to be a boxer
Knowing it's a lost cause
Knowing you'll be injured
Losing his life
He has to keep on going
I caused your power to disappear
That was all my fault
I won't beg for your forgiveness
But that's why
You can tell the world
Why you stepped into the ring
Take care
Chi-leung?
Chi-leung, you're awake?
Where's my hearing aid?
Am I deaf?
No
Let me check the hearing aid
I... I don't wanna be deaf
No...
I don't wanna miss your voice!
The battery ran out
It's okay
Oops
It's ok it's okay
Actually...
I hated it when my classmates
call me deaf boy
I don't wanna
pretend I can hear them
Why?
Why can't I be like other kids?
Am I useless?
No
No
You've always been a good boy
When you were little
I was worried you'd be scared
Whenever lightning struck
But you weren't
You were having fun
That's when I know
My son is way better
than the others
Because he's just like his dad
They both have superpowers
Our superpower is...
We'll never give up
I'm fighting Joe
For my whole life
I see one second ahead
Yet I kept running away
from everything
But not this time
I wanna prove that
I'm more than that one second
Okay
No more running away
We'll do this together
Your dodging has improved
from all your fights
But you were relying on
your one-second vision too much
Without it now
You'd have to improve
your muscle memories
Three
Four
Are you good?
Joe punches really hard
Build endurance, practice,
and toughen up
One, two, three, four, block!
Again!
One, two, three, four, block!
Two, three, four, five
Fourteen
Fifteen
Thirty-seven,
thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty
Thirty-one
Why did you stop?
Get him!
Again! Up!
Dad, are you scared?
If you don't answer
I'll take off
my hearing aid and run
Without the hearing aid
All I feel is my own heartbeat
I won't be scared anymore
After eight matches
It's time for the grand finale
Instant-Killer Joe, Cheng Yiu-jo
Versus One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan
Complying with
the WBO regulations
This will be a 10-round bout,
three minutes each
This contestant
Has been in the ring
for only half a year
11 fights in
his professional career,
11 wins
10 KOs, 1 TKO
People called him
the One Second Wonder
Because he allegedly
can foresee one second ahead
Now, he uses his power for boxing
Thus transformed into
One Second Champion!
I'm satisfied. Just to be here
Be careful up there
You could've told me earlier
First, Joe's challenger
From Ying Ngai Boxing
136lb, One Second Champion
Chow Tin-yan
Hooray!
And, last but not least
From Hunter Boxing
Instant-Killer Joe
Cheng Yiu-Jo, Joe!
23 fights in his
professional career, 23 wins
12 KOs, 4 TKOs
In the red corner
Is Chow Tin-yan
In the blue corner

Calm down,
there's nothing to be afraid of
Please welcome our referee, Roger
Gentlemen,
protect yourselves at all times
Listen to me
and follow my instructions
Are we clear?
Touch gloves
Back to your corner
Don't lose your rhythm
Remember what you've practiced
You've come all this way,
finish it!
Maintain your rhythm
You know how hard it is
to land a strike on him, right?
I don't care
Are you ready?

Arms up! Arms up!
Doesn't Chow always
use the Philly Shell stance?
Why is he using both arms
for defending?
This is no game,
Joe's last opponent
Was fatally injured by him
Everyone knows
Joe doesn't back away
Of course you need to parry
But Chow has
his one-second vision, right?
Meaning he can predict
the opponent's next move
But I also heard Chow
was in a car crash
He might not have it anymore
Knocked down by Joe
This is unusual
Does it mean the rumors are true?
Or
Maybe that the so-called power
is just a gimmick
Against a masterclass like Joe
This will be a real test for Chow
Okay?

Stop! Back to the corners!
- Hey!

Joe is knocked down
He got up right away,
but according to the record
Joe has never been
knocked down before
He never got knocked down before
During the match with Cho Lap-wai
Joe injured his ribs
The old wound
might have gotten hit
Yan must've spent a lot of time
To study Joe's style
Joe threw a right hook
With another uppercut
His elbow knocked
on Chow's canthus
The medic is here,
let's see if he can continue
Are you okay?
How many fingers?
Four
- Can he continue?
- Yes
You okay? Are you okay?
Coach,
are you letting him continue?
If only I have the power...
You're on your own
every second in the ring
Boxer, can you continue?
Can you?

He's over
He's not gonna make it
Thank you, Shun
Be careful
Usually, Joe can knock down
his opponent
in four to five rounds
It's unbelievable how this match

After ten rounds
of intense boxing
Our judges
have made their decision
With different scores
from the judges
First round...
Hello, I am Chow Tin Yan
My dad said I was dead for
one second when I was born
Since then, I can foresee
one second ahead
I always thought
It's crucial to see the future
But I finally understand
One second
Can make a big difference
The result is unimaginable
So, in this second
What are you waiting for?
