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:
How many succeeded?
ARHAT:
A handful. You chose correctly. Nothing is more precious than human life.
DREW:
But, I didn't obey.
ARHAT:
(smiling slightly) At the beginning of your training, you were to obey without question. Now, as you become a Shaolin, you must learn to question everything, and obey yourself.
Drew and the monk bow to each other, the sunset over the mountain in the b.g.
DISSOLVE TO: EXT. ARHAT HUT – NEXT MORNING ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW COMING OUT OF THE HUT, HAVING JUST GOTTEN UP.
The Arhat is already out there, moving through his gong fu moves.
DREW:
I have to leave. What is the easiest way to get back to the temple.
ARHAT:
The bus.
Drew laughs at the crazy reply and starts for the mountain path that brought him to the hut. The Arhat runs after him, grabs his sleeve and pulls him over to a place behind his hut.
DREW'S POV OF A ROAD BEHIND THE ARHAT'S HUT A road! After all he went through to get there?
ARHAT (CONT'D) Bus stops every 20 min., will take you straight to the temple.
Drew smiles and shakes his head, then bows to the Arhat.
The Arhat returns the bow.
DREW:
Thank you, Master.
ARHAT:
They should give you a bus schedule with that map... He walks off to the hut, while Drew makes his way down to the bus stop.
EXT. SHAOLIN TEMPLE – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW WALKING BACK INTO THE TEMPLE.
He is dirty, weary but triumphant. As he walks back through the temple to San De's chambers to report, he sees a group of people walking out the other way.
The group is made up of the thugs who attacked him, the woman by the lake, and the man from the bridge. They are talking together on their way out.
ANGLE ON DREW: Smiling as he realizes that it was all a test – every moment of it.
EXT. TRAINING AREA – DAY ESTABLISHING SHOT OF DREW AND THE DISCIPLES TRAINING.
They are expert fighters now, and they move through the complicated routines with ease.
ANGLE ON DREW FLYING THROUGH THE AIR Hitting the ground and rolling, then coming up and throwing a shuriken at a target.
The throwing star hits the target dead center.
ANGLE ON DREW: Manipulating the spear like a master.
