We also get to learn that the person who was killed suffered 36 cuts.
The cops begin to investigate if there was previous enemity between the attacker's family and the victim. We then get introduced to the hero's character, who, it appears from the trailer, appears to be a kickboxer. A voiceover calls him a phoenix, saying he keeps coming back from the dead. We also get to learn that there are people who want him dead that very day. Under these circumstances, the boy is seen posing a question. "Why should they always win? Shouldn't we ever taste victory. What is your problem? Is it because we are winning or is it because we are winning over you?"
