The film then veers into "Karate Kid" territory where the novice humiliates himself at every turn, is tolerated as a foreigner, and still comes out a champion. The monastery teaches non-violence, but everyone knows that sooner or later the student will catch up with the bad guy.

DREW:
Yeah, I'm staying. If only to keep you guys out of trouble!
They walk off, and just as they round a corner, a BANG is heard as one of the monks drops the heavy wooden lid of a storage barrell. Drew jumps, spinning around in the direction of the sound.
LI:
Drew! Are you allright?
DREW:
Yeah, I'm just a little on edge, that's all. Ever since I got to the temple, some nut has been attacking me with a stick – at night, in the toilet... anywhere! It's driving me crazy... Gao and Li look at each other, nodding.
DREW (CONT'D) What? Honest, it's happening! I...
GAO:
Every class of disciples, the one with the most potential is singled out for special training. We were wondering who it was... now, we know.
DREW:
Special training? You mean...?
Gao and Li nod, and Drew walks with them, shaking his head.
EXT. COUNTRYSIDE – MORNING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF ASHEMA STANDING NEXT TO THE STREAM, WATCHING THE WATER RUSH BY.
In the b.g. comes Drew, dressed in his monastic robes, no hat on his head. He is making no attempt to hide the fact that he is a monk.
Drew walks up to Ashema and takes her hand, and they stand like that for a moment. She then turns to him, and starts to say something. Drew stops her with a finger on her lips, then strokes her cheek.
DREW:
Ashema, beautiful Ashema, I can't see you anymore. I will... miss you and remember you... always.
Ashema closes her eyes against the tears there, and buries her head against Drew's shoulder.
ASHEMA:
Are they making you do this?
She wants to hear that they are, even if it's not true. She NEEDS to hear it.
Drew pulls her head away from his shoulder, looking into her eyes. It would be so easy not to take the blame for hurting her like this.
DREW:
No. It is my choice, and my responsibility. I'm sorry... He embraces her for the last time, and she openly begins to cry. He holds her for a moment, then breaks the embrace and with one last long look at Ashema, walks away.
EXT. TRAINING AREA – DAY 103 (SPRING TIME) ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW WORKING ON THE "WOODEN MAN", A TRAINING DEVICE.
The D.S. in the b.g. comes up and corrects his technique, and Drew immediately does it his way.
EXT. POLE AREA – EVENING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW WORKING ON THE POLES.
He is doing well, jumping from pole to pole, kicking and punching. He tries an especially difficult sequence of moves, and falls with a THUMP to the ground. Immediately, he is back up and onto the poles. He tries the same set of moves, falls again. Instead of being angry, Drew just laughs at himself, then climbs back up on the poles.
INT. MEDITATION HALL – NIGHT ESTABLISHING SHOT OF BARE CHESTED DREW, SOAKED IN SWEAT.
In the b.g. is a huge bronze buddha. Drew is in the same position as the Buddha.
EXT. STREAM – DAY 106 (SUMMER TIME) ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW DRAWING WATER FROM THE STREAM, IN THE POINTED BARRELS.
He fills them up, and then starts moving back towards the temple, his arms up and strong.
