All language subtitles for China Sky 1945

After eight long years
of Japanese aggression

the people
of the Republic of China

starved, choked off,
and isolated, still fight on.

Deep in the mountains,
into which millions

of unconquered Chinese
are withdrawn

wisely, ancient city
of Wan Li

supply base
and communication centre

for reckless and daring
guerilla fighters.

A constant target
for Japanese bombers

Wan Li is rebuilt
so continually

that it is said to be
a new cityevery seventh day.

Honorable messenger.

Yes, Little Goat?

Strange vision.

Instead of bicycle
carrying honorable messenger

honorable messenger
carries bicycle.

Injuries from air raid.

But the voice
of authority is unharmed.

Lending dignity
to my humble office.

The call of a crow
has more dignity than that.

I continue
on official business.

Nature of business,
honorable messenger?

Cablegram for Durand Doctor.

And you chatter.

In America, it is said
that cablegram arrive

like super Fortress. Ehhhh..

Durand Doctor.
Durand Doctor.

Shhhhh.

Be still, Little Goat,
be still.

Durand Doctor is occupied,
she cannot see you now. Go on.

Shhh.

Did you hear it?
It's a fine man child.

He'll be a great
harvester of rice.

If first he must not harvest
Japanese devil dwarfs

as my brothers do now.

Do not worry, Siu-Mei.

This season of war must
one day come to an end.

Remember, Dr. Thompson
is counting on us

to mend them in spirit
as well as in health.

Thompson Doctor has been
in America so long

it seems he has forgotten
us here, in Wan Li.

Nonsense.

He's been
gone a long while

but he has many
obstacles to overcome.

He's as eager to return
as we're to have him.

That is true.

And he will return, if only to
be by your side, Durand Doctor.

- 'Durand Doctor?'
- Yes, Little Goat?

Honorable nurse silenced me,
so I could not tell you sooner.

- There's a cablegram for you.
- Thank you.

Perhaps you'd like me
to read it for you?

I can read it myself.

From Thompson Doctor,
I betcha.

The news is bad?

No, not at all. Dr. Thompson
is on his way back with..

...money and supplies
for the hospital.

And a wife.

Little Goat, prepare the
bungalow for Thompson Doctor.

Wife? Phooey!

Chen-Ta's coming!
Chen-Ta's here!

Doctor.

Do not touch him.

Attend my wounded outside.

Where's American doctor?

'You want to see me?'

- Where's Thompson Doctor?
- He's in America.

- He deserted Wan Li?
- Nothing of the sort.

The bombings have destroyed
most of our equipment here.

Dr. Thompson's in the States
arranging for its replacement.

He is on his way back
now, with things we need.

While Dr. Thompson is away,
I'm in charge here.

Woman doctor.
You attend him.

- This man must not die.
- What's the matter with him?

Bullet, here.
I put it there.

- Japanese?
- 'Colonel Yasuda.'

'Butcher of women
and children.'

Yet you want him to live?

A soldier's death is too much
honor for such as he.

He will stand trial

and answer to the Chinese
people for his crimes.

Siu-Mei, prepare
the patient for laparotomy.

Dr. Kim, you'll be
good enough to assist me.

Will be an honor,
Dr. Durand.

He will live?

He will.

Unless his little brothers
blow him apart from the skies.

You will to see to it
that he is properly attended.

One of my men will remain
behind to guard his room.

People of Wan Li will shun
him as they would a plague.

- That one, has she a husband?
- 'I know of none.'

She is spoken for
and promised.

At the gods willeth,
the linnet sheds its feathers..

...and a women's promise
goes with the wind.

Dr. Kim...will be best

to keep this one away
from the other patients.

See that he is placed
in the north corridor.

There was no need to smirk
and simper before that peasant.

Do not sneer at one, on whose
courage our safety depends.

I do not sneer.

I only ask that you
to regard my honor.

Remember that you're
betrothed to me.

I cannot forget.

Only last night
my father reminded me.

Your father's wish
should be sufficient.

Have you learned the easy ways
of the West from Sara Durand?

And have you forgotten
the courtesy of the East

in your manner
to Dr. Sara Durand?

It doesn't please me
taking orders form a woman.

Thompson Doctor
left her in charged.

Exactly. He placed
a woman over me.

When I, myself,
should be in charge, here.

Giving orders to both,
Thompson and Durand.

In seven days I shall
return for my prisoner.

Better make it
three times seven.

That wound was
no trifling one.

Naturally.

Chen-Ta, they say the enemy
is pushing the Chinese back

across the mountains.

The regular troupes, yes.

China is trading
space with time.

But the guerillas
do not retreat.

We shall hold the pass
against the East-Ocean dwarves.

I believe you will.

You fear danger
for Thompson Doctor.

You fear he may not
get through to Wan Li.

He'll get through, you
don't know Gray Thompson.

In the mountains I hear much
of the good work he does here.

With Durand Doctor
always by his side.

Good morning, Little Goat.

Is there some
festivity today

that you're wearing
your holiday clothes?

Durand Doctor, I have solved
to resign honorable position

as Thompson Doctor
number one boy.

Resign? Whatever for?

Work very hard and unsuitable.

Also, I have cramps in leg,
which is bad for floor wash.

Is that the only
reason, Little Goat?

No. It's true cramps is bad

but Thompson Doctor's wife
will be much worse.

Why do you say that?

I'm sure Dr. Thompson has
chosen the most suitable wife.

Thompson Doctor run hospital.
Little Goat run Thompson Doctor.

You help Thompson Doctor
in belly ache at Little Goat.

All one very happy family.
What we want with strange woman?

Very well, Little Goat.

If that's the way
you feel about it.

Little Goat.

Little Goat, Thompson Doctor
will have great need for you.

I ask you to stay.

So, since you talked me
into it...I stay.

Good boy.

Thompson Doctor is back!

I want you all
to meet my wife.

Sara!

- Sara.
- Oh, Gray.

Gosh, but it's good
to see you again.

It's wonderful
to have you back, Gray.

- You get my cable?
- Mmm-hmm.

We're so happy
to hear of your success.

I raised enough money
for two hospitals.

No!

Trouble is, it'll
take time to send it through.

Merry home coming,
Thompson Doctor!

- Merry home coming!
- Little Goat.

- How have you been?
- Fine. Fine.

Boy, did I miss someone
like you in the States.

Not more than I missed
someone like you

here in China, I betcha.

Go get bags, now.

Just a minute.

Louise?

Come on, darling,
I want you to meet Sara.

Better know here
around, as Durand Doctor.

Welcome to Wan Li,
Mrs. Thompson.

Gray's told me
so much about you

I feel I've
known you for years.

Isn't she exactly
like I told you?

No, not at all.
She's very attractive.

Which is something
you forgot to mention.

I suppose I took
that for granted.

Well, I guess there was
seldom time between mastoids

and appendectomies
for him to notice.

That's the truth, alright.

I tried to make your bungalow
as presentable as possible.

Considering the
daily bombings.

Daily bombings?

The Nips flew over
only occasionally when I left.

Well, they have airfields
much nearer, now.

Wow, it's gonna be
much worse than I told you.

Don't worry about me.
I'm not the least bit afraid.

That's a girl.
Come in. Join us for tea.

Thank you, no.
I must get back.

See what I mean?
Work work work.

If there's anything to help you
get settled, let me know.

- Oh, thank you.
- I'll see you later.

Be along in a few minutes.

What were all those Chinese
people, chattering about?

Oh, they were wishing us luck
and peace and harmony and..

...and lots of babies.

Boy babies.

Will they be disappointed
if we had girl babies?

Terribly. In that case, I'd be
compelled to take another wife.

Gray!

Welcome home, Mrs. Thompson.

Woman sick?

Of course not.
In America it's good luck

to carry your wife
over the door step.

Good thing
not Chinese custom.

Would take a water buffalo
to carry my cousin's wife.

This is Little Goat,
our house boy.

Don't be fooled by his youth,
he's wise beyond his years.

- How do you do, Little Goat?
- Very fine, thank you.

- Well, how do you like it?
- Oh, it's charming.

- Let's see the rest of it.
- Mmm-hmm.

Oh, darling, I know
I am gonna love it here.

It's pretty neat
for a bachelor.

Something tells me that Sara's
fine American hand

was responsible for putting
this room in shape.

Really?

Sara's very fond of you, Gray.

I'm very fond of her, too.

Sara is tops.

Is she?

Gray, why didn't you
tell me she was beautiful?

- Beautiful?
- Of course, she is.

I thought, attractive women
doctors only existed in novels.

Surely, you must have
noticed it sometime.

I never thought
of her that way.

I hope you don't mind.

I love you for it.

Tea in dining room,
Thompson Doctor.

Bring it in here, Little Goat.

Tea in bed good luck
in America, too?

You betcha. Means
something else in China?

Just mean thirsty,
that's all.

'Thompson Doctor come!'

Nice to be back.

Ni hao.

Sui Mei!

- Welcome, Thompson Doctor.
- How have you been?

Very well, thank you.
I am most happy to see you here.

Thanks.

You putting me
to work so soon?

We have missed you
very much, Thompson Doctor.

Isn't Little Charlie
around here in some place?

Oh, yes, Little Charlie
is in here.

Why, hello, Charlie.
How's my little pal?

Little pal is fine,
Thompson Doctor.

- Very fine.
- Good.

- I wait long time to show you...
- Shhh.

Thompson Doctor,
please to make about face

until I say "ready".

Then please to make about face
again and look at Charlie.

It will give you
much surprise, I betcha.

Alright, Charlie, I'll wait
until you give the word.

Ready.

In name of
United States Of America

and Republic of China, always
you welcome to home again.

What.. When..
How did it happen?

Durand Doctor help me
every day, but every day I fall.

One day I stand up
and I do not fall.

I couldn't ask for a better
welcome than this.. Oh.

That's alright, Charlie.

Enough for one day, anyway.

Well, Doc, you've
done it again.

Thank you, Thompson Doctor.

Hey, tell me, Sara.
What do you think of Louise?

I think she's lovely, Gray.

Lovely.

Were you terribly surprised
when you heard I got married?

No, not terribly.

After all, you had to
fall in love, sometime.

'Course, it was just that
there'd been no inkling of it.

It did come as a bit of a shock.

To all of us, I mean.

As a matter of fact, it came
as quite a surprise to me.

I met her while making
a plea for donations

at one of those
mink and orchid affairs.

The moment I looked at her,
I knew she was it.

Hope it's not gonna be
too tough on her, here.

Well, I'll do everything
I can to help her.

Thanks, I knew you would.

What's that soldier
doing there?

Hmm? Oh. I forgot
to tell you.

We have quite an unusual
patient in that room.

- A Jap.
- A Jap? Here?

Yes, he's
Chen-Ta's prisoner.

- Chen-Ta, the guerrilla chief?
- That's right.

Hmm.

So, you are the honorable
Thompson Doctor?

How do you feel?

'I am a prisoner.'

I'm a doctor, not a jailer.
I ask you how you feel.

You have just returned.
Tell me.

What do Americans think now
of Japanese warriors?

I'll be happy to answer
that when we're alone.

Wondering when
I'd hear that again.

Doctor...you'll not forget
to take me to the shelter...

Afraid of your own planes?

Assuredly, they are
excellent marksmen.

Yes, they hit the
hospital quite regularly.

- Oh, Dr. Kim.
- 'Yes, Doctor?'

'Look after
the Japanese patient.'

If you don't mind, Dr. Thompson,
I would rather not.

We all feel the same.
I want you to take charge.

As you wish, Doctor.

I better get Louise
to the shelter.

Just sit here, darling,
until after the raid.

You'll be alright.

You're not going
to leave me.

I've got to. Sara's all alone
with the sure-to-dies.

Sure-to-dies?
What's that?

Patients who are dying
and can't be moved.

But, Gray, I...

There's nothing
to worry about.

All these people
are your friends.

I'll pick you up
after the raid.

Over here.

- Is she hurt?
- No, just frightened.

Just like old times,
isn't it Sara?

Nothing's changed at all.

I know American song.

# Yankee doodle go to town

# Riding on a pony

# Sticking fea...

'Oh, stop it!'

Who? Who is that
foreign woman?

Dr. Thompson's wife.
She just arrived.

She has the courage
of a rabbit.

Yes. A small rabbit.

Ah! You too know the foreigners
for what they are.

You despise them.

That is one more thing
we have in common.

One mthing?

'Yes.'

I do not understand
what you mean.

You will understand me.

You're going to wear that record
out if you play it so much.

It's alright. Thompson Doctor
bring plenty from America.

All hot stuff, too.

Where's your mistress?

Thompson Doctor went town
for reason which I do not know.

I asked,
"Where is your mistress?"

Oh, that one.

No doubt, she is concerned with
making a deception of her face.

I witness how she takes
all manner of things

and proceeds thus.

So, you spy
on your mistress?

It came about that I trip
beside the keyhole.

In the future, see that
you walk with greater care.

Ah, wine.

Maybe that will give
courage to that one.

How do you mean?

All the time she jumps.

I drop plate, she jumps up
to the ceiling.

I fall down stairs,
she scream and cover eye.

Even when I sneeze,
she think it is bombing.

One mustn't forget
she's new in Wan Li.

She's not yet used to
bombing the way we are.

So.

Thanks for making
excuses for me, Sara.

But really, it isn't necessary

to apologize for me
to the house boy.

Oh, Louise, I wasn't
apologizing, but..

Well, the air raids around here
are taken so much for granted

that people forget it's
a new experience for you.

Once you get accustomed...

Oh, I don't intend
to get accustomed to it.

I don't understand.

I have no intention of remaining
here any longer than necessary.

Longer than necessary?

Then why did you come at all?

It was the only way
I could get Gray.

I see.

Look, Louise, I know
I've no right whatsoever

to interfere in your life.

Well, it's nice to know that.

But you can't take Gray away
from here. You just can't.

Why not?

Because he's a doctor.
Because Gray came out here

when the Japs
first attacked China

to do everything in his power

to help these
defenseless people.

You mustn't take him away now,
when he's needed so badly.

- We'd all be lost without him.
- All or just you?

'What are you insinuating?'

Nothing.

Only I think you've
become too accustomed

to having Gray around during..

...shall we say, mastoids
and appendectomies?

You don't know
what you're saying.

There's no need to deny it.

I've known it from
the first day I met you.

And that perhaps is another
reason why I have no intention

of permitting Gray
to remain here.

'Hello, Little Goat.'

Hello, darling.
Hiya, Doc.

- Hello.
- Hello, darling.

Hey, what you got there, Doc?

Hmm? Oh. Oh, I found this
in the hospital kitchen locker.

Thought I'd bring it over
before a bomb got it.

Wonderful! Now, we can
have a real party.

That's a good idea.
I'll see you in the morning.

Morning? Nonsense!

You're having dinner
with us, isn't she?

Of course. That's
the least we can do

to repay you for the wine.

No, please.
I don't want to intrude.

Intrude? Oh my dear,
you're just like

one of the family.

Of course you are.

Little Goat.

Yes, Thompson Doctor?

Put this in the cooler.
We'll have it later.

Better if I heat it up.

You dare and I'll
break your neck.

We're gonna have it
cool. Understand?

Silly to drink wine cold.

Warm wine make one
drunk much quicker.

Well, America's new country.

They will learn better
as they get older.

Unusual child, isn't he, Sara?

I'll only be a moment, darling.

Judging from his fare..

...I am recovering rapidly.

You are.

How soon will this
Chen-Ta come from me?

Just as soon you are
well enough to be moved.

Mmm, you understand
Japanese, Dr. Kim.

We were getting
the jumping jitters

for fear you wouldn't
make it to Wan Li.

Almost didn't.
When we got off the plane

we came down the river,
just before the Nips.

I could see that she'd
taken a beating since I left.

I'm afraid so.

But why should
the Japs fight so hard

to take a little town
like Wan Li?

Well, it's practically
a village.

Wan Li is a communications
and supplies center

for Chen-Ta,
the guerrilla chief.

He's their real objective.

If they knock him out,
they'd take the pass

and a very important
hunk of China.

What's so important about it?

Come here, dear.

See that range of mountains?

There are hundreds
of caves there

and in those caves
are factories.

The people, old men,
women and children

carry them there
piece by piece

across wastelands,
rivers and mountains.

They set them up
in those hills

and work there night and day
to supply China's armies.

That's what the Nips are after.

They have to get through
Wan Li to reach them.

So now you can see
how really important we are.

I'm much more interested in how
important we are to each other.

Hey, we're embarrassing Sara.

Oh, Sara's above such things.

Yes, of course.

After all, I am just like
one of the family.

I hate to be
the eat-and-run kind

but I ought to
be getting back.

Take it easy, Doc.
What's the matter?

I never saw you so jumpy.

Sara's probably had
a hard day at the hospital.

What you need is music
to pull you out of the doldrums.

- How about it, Little Goat?
- Coming up, Thompson Doctor.

Well, here's how.

[Waltz music on gramophone

Swell tune, isn't it?

Brings a touch of the good
old USA to Wan Li.

Mmm-hmm.

I wonder what sort of dancing
they're doing back home.

Pretty much the same as always.
Let me show you.

Don't tell me
you learned how to dance.

Learned how?
I always knew how.

- Come on.
- Well, I believe...

Come on, Sara.
Let him show off.

Gray, you're really good.

Oh, go on. I bet you say that
to all the doctors.

Thompson Doctor very fancy.
Very fancy.

You're pretty good yourself.

Why've you been
keeping it a secret?

'Sara's just a
chock full of secrets.'

Is that right, Sara?
You've been holding out on us?

Hey, come on.
What's the matter?

No, thank you, Gray.
I'm terribly tired.

I've got to run along, now.

You've been working too much.

- Better get some rest.
- I will.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight

- 'Goodnight, Sara.'
- 'See you in the morning.'

- Thanks for everything.
- Take care of yourself.

Never saw her act
this way before.

Wonder what's eating her?

I believe I know, Gray.

She's in love.

In love?

Why, I'm the only white man
she met ever out here.

Exactly. She's
in love with you.

Darling, you're crazy.

Oh, Gray,
you're a good doctor.

You're really
a wonderful doctor.

But Sara's symptoms are more
easily recognized by a woman.

Especially, your wife.

Oh, no,
you're wrong, Louise.

You're mistaking
friendship for love.

Darling...is it so incredible

that another woman
could be in love with you?

But Sara. I've known her
longer than I have you.

Longer, yes, not better.

Go get your coat.
We'll get outta here.

Little Goat? Come on,
you can wipe the dishes later.

Yes, if any is left.

Hurry up, Louise.

Darling.

I'll meet you
at the house, later.

Gray?

It isn't fair to leave me alone
through every air raid.

They're driving me
outta my mind.

Hey, I thought you were
the girl who wasn't afraid.

Little Goat.

Take your mistress
to the shelter.

Better hurry,
or otherwise zip-boom.

Attention!

Like, Thompson Doctor say,
there's nothing to be afraid of.

Pardon me, Mrs. Thompson.

- But you're safe here.
- Who are you?

Allow me to introduce
myself, Dr. Kim.

I'm assisting Dr. Thompson
as house surgeon.

I'm so glad you're here.

These people, the bombings

those soldiers with the guns..

But these people
will not hurt you.

Those soldiers are guarding
the ammunition store.

- You mean this cave..
- Yes.

This is a supply store
for Chen-Ta and his guerrillas.

Got it.

How many more, Sara?

Don't ask, Gray.

If they'd only learn
to get to the shelter soon

we wouldn't have
so many casualties.

It's always such
needless slaughter

when they kill people
who can't fight back.

Alright.

Gray?

Gray!

How many did we
worked on today, Sara?

I don't remember.

- I've lost count.
- Thanks.

I can sleep for a week.

Aren't you gonna
have some tea, Siu-Mei?

Thank you, no.

I wish only to sleep.

I can understand that.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Goodnight. Thank you, Siu-Mei.

That was pretty nice
work in there, Dr. Thompson.

Hmm. Always makes me feel
like such a smart guy.

When I lick
the old man..

- You are a smart guy.
- Thanks.

- I'm a smart gal, too.
- Of course you are.

Otherwise you wouldn't
know I'm a smart guy.

Sara?

I'm worried about Louise.

More worried
than I care to admit.

- The bombings?
- Mmm-hmm.

She didn't seem to be
able to stand up to it.

Well...as I remember it,
I was quite panicky myself

when they first started.

Oh, I'm sure she'll
get over that feeling.

Be patient with her, Gray.

After all, it's much
more difficult for her

than it ever was for us.

Yes, that's so.

It's a pretty tough
adjustment for a girl to make...

So, this is the sort of work
that keeps you at the hospital?

The first day I got here,
I've been practically deserted

while you've devoted so much
time to your precious Sara.

Don't start
imagining things...

Start? I started
long ago and why not?

I spend half of my time being
shoved about by filthy natives

in rat hole of a cave..

...while you have
tea parties with Sara.

If you wanted to be with her,
why didn't you marry her...

- Louise!
- Do you deny you love Gray?

'Deny it if you can.
I knew it!'

I've had enough.

You had enough?
What about me?

I gave up everything
to be with you.

To live in this stinking town

not knowing whether
each day would be my last.

And you say
you've had enough!

Well, I don't mind telling you
I've had more than enough!

'I'm sorry, Sara.'

It's alright.
It doesn't matter.

You better go to her, Gray.

I wish she hadn't
said that to you.

Let's pretend she didn't.

Okay, Doc.

Goodnight, Dr. Thompson.

Goodnight, Dr. Kim.

You will stay, please?

There are others
to be looked after.

Nevertheless, you will remain

until I give you
permission to leave.

You're not yet
in charge here, Dr. Kim.

It appears that your betrothed

has taken on the offensive
manners of the foreign women.

It's the influence
of Dr. Durand

that's made her
self willed and arrogant.

Traits to be found
in all foreign women.

I have seen them in Shanghai.

Soft and pampered.

Ah, but of this
you would not know.

How would I not know?

I studied in their country.

I have said before

we have much in common.

You are not Chinese.

I am Korean.

You may deceive
the stupid people, here.

Me, you cannot deceive.

'My mother is Korean.'

- And your father?
- My father is dead.

But he lived to give you life.

And he was a Japanese.

I am known as a Korean
and that's how I wish it to be.

I congratulate you

on being so nearly well,
Colonel Yasuda.

Well enough to be given back
to my captor when he comes?

Well, enough.

Dr. Kim.

It is of
the greatest importance

that I be able to remain
here for a time.

It is not that
I am concerned with my life..

...but there are things
to be done before I die.

I will do nothing
to keep you here.

That has to be regretted.

'Yesterday the nurse, Siu-Mei'

'and the other, Ho-Chin,
brought me food.'

They talked together in Chinese

not knowing
I would understand them.

They spoke of the peasant
soldier, Chen-Ta the Eagle

and how he repulsed
our latest attack at the pass.

'They spoke of him
with love and affection'

'as one would of a god.'

'Return me to Chen-Ta..'

'...and my death will but add
a new glory to his name.'

Hey, Siu-Mei?

- Chen-Ta...
- I do not hear him.

Nurse Siu-Mei.

- If he calls...
- Shh.

Nurse Siu-Mei.

You call as one
in great pain.

To be ignored
is always painful to me.

These, I..

...brought you
from the mountains.

It is not fitting.

It is entirely fitting.

Because of my regard
and because you are worthy.

I am deeply grateful.

They are beautiful.

But they have now met
more than their equal.

Nurse, do you hear...

- Welcome to Wan Li, Chen-Ta.
- Thompson Doctor.

- I am honored by this visit.
- The honor is mine.

I've looked forward to this.
Join me in my office?

- Pleasure.
- Excuse us, Siu.

Shh.

Siu-Mei, throw
the flowers away.

I will not.

I forbid you to keep them.

You cannot forbid me.
I'm not yet your wife.

What? What is this you do?

Came to my mind, one man
maybe cured too quickly.

And thereby,
another may be made ill.

Way too much glory.

Is there any danger?

None.

You will appear as one
on the verge of death.

But it'll pass.

I understand the Japs have
moved forward to the river.

Yes, they spread over
the land like devil's spawn.

This pass to Wan Li we hold.

And shall hold.

We have learnt that
among the East-Ocean dwarves

the good are of two kinds,
the dead and the unborn.

Hmm. My people have
now learnt that, too.

Thompson Doctor I came
to ask your aid for my men.

In the mountains,
are many wounded

who couldn't
be brought for healing.

- You want me to go to them?
- If it's possible.

It will be made possible.

The way is far,
the wounded many.

- There'll be much to do.
- I shall bring others to help.

You are a true
friend to my people.

Well, now,
I claim my prisoner.

Oh, Dr. Kim?

Have the Japanese patient
made ready to travel.

I'm afraid, that
is impossible, Doctor.

Impossible? Why?

I was about to inform you,
he has suffered a relapse.

Relapse?

When I left here earlier, he was
normal as the chart shows.

Had he access
to anti-depressants?

'No drugs were kept here.'

The heartbeat
is weak and rapid

temperature is sub normal.

Stimulants and heat. Keep him
under the closest observation.

Yes, Doctor.

Must be some
internal complication.

It's strange but I'll
find the cause of it.

Will it take much time
for him to recover?

Don't know,
but I hope not.

The doctor in there,
he is to be trusted?

He was trained in my country.

He's been here
since the hospital opened.

Do not forget my wounded.

I won't forget. I'll start
making preparations immediately.

Thank you.
Then I shall look forward

to seeing you again soon.

Forgive me..

...what I have done.

Where's your mistress,
Little Goat?

Thompson lady,
celebrate American holiday.

Holiday? What holiday?

Who knows?
But must be holiday.

Or why she take bath
in middle of day?

It's an old American custom.

'America has strange customs.'

Little Goat say bath in the
middle of the day means holiday.

Four thousand years
of civilization.

You'd imagine the Chinese
would've invented a bathtub.

They haven't found out yet

that the bathtub's the place
to curl up with a good book.

Where are you going?

'I'm going on a trip.
Be gone overnight.'

What did you say?

I said I'd be away tonight.

Go up the hills to take care
of Chen-Ta's casualties.

Going up alone?

'No, there are lots
of wounded. I'll need help.'

I see.

Who's going with you?

Siu-Mei and Sara.

Just who do you think
you're fooling?

Fooling? I've told you
the truth, Louise.

The truth is,
it's a good opportunity

for you to be alone with Sara
and not worry about me.

- Why don't you admit it?
- That's not so and you know it.

I know nothing of this sort.

All I know is, every time
I turn around you're with Sara.

And now you're going away
with her overnight.

What's the matter? Have I
slandered your precious Sara?

I'm counting on you, Dr. Kim.

While we're away,
you'll be in full charge.

Thank you, doctor.
I shall do my miserable best.

Keep a sharp eye on the Jap.
Let's go.

You pray?

While still in this world..

...it's best to prepare oneself
for the next.

That is wise.

But you will not die.

Does not matter.

Flowers and mint,
do not last forever.

Your wounds will heal.

Only the scars will remain
as a memory.

- Thompson Doctor comes.
- Good.

- He has brought others?
- Woman doctor.

- Who else?
- Three men.

Men?

Thompson Doctor comes.
Make things ready.

He, uh..

- ...brought no one else?
- One more, Nurse Ling Siu-Mei.

Ling Siu-Mei?

Ling Siu-Mei!

Oh, must shave.
Comb my hair.

Oh, oh.

Get me uniform! Blue one!

And a clean shirt!

You-you, go clean my shoes!
Hurry up!

Oh, I must have water.
Much water!

Go on! Hunt water!
From a stake! Go!

Welcome, my friends.

You come sooner than I hope,
Thompson Doctor.

I know that to one in pain,
each moment is like a day.

Delighted you could come,
Durand Doctor.

Thank you, Chen-Ta.

- The wounded are in there.
- Bring everything inside.

Welcome, Ling Siu-Mei.

I am overwhelmed by this visit.

I did not come to see you.
I came to attend the wounded.

Oh, that, too.
But not that alone.

You speak boldly.

Because I am bold,
I win battles.

I am no battle.

Did I say so?
Did I say I prepare to win you?

Alright, Siu-Mei,
prepare the next one.

There are no more,
Thompson Doctor.

He is the last of
the seriously wounded.

Now I insist you stop
for something to eat and drink.

- The rest can wait.
- I will finish.

Thank you, Siu-Mei.

Thompson Doctor.

Durand Doctor.

If only there was a way I could
repay you for what you're doing.

Your gratitude and that of
your men, is more than enough.

- Wan Li?
- Devil dwarfs dropping dead.

Seeing it like this makes it
much more terrifying.

For what you have done,
I thank you, my brother.

I have asked you to regard me
as I regard myself.

A Korean.

My mother's blood rules in me.

And yet..

I wonder how Nurse Ling Siu-Mei
and her father will regard you..

...if by accident,
they should learn of your..

- '...Japanese heritage.'
- You propose to tell?

Do not be alarmed.

Only if you should fail in your
duty to your father's ancestors

might I forget
to guard my tongue.

- What do you ask of me?
- A little thing.

- I wish to send a message.
- It is impossible.

Outgoing messages are strictly
censored by the authorities.

You are mistaken.

There is one whose good faith
would not be questioned.

Dr. Thompson.

Dr. Thompson?

In the person
of his charming wife, of course.

Would she not be happy
to have a plane come

to take her
and her husband away?

What has this
to do with you?

In a plane there are many places
where one may be safely hidden.

They will not know it.

But they will help me to escape.

I wonder what the old monks
who built this monastery

would say to all this?

The wounded men..

...the guns..

...destruction.

They would say,
"This too will pass\x22

Oh, you are a woman
of a certain wisdom in you.

Therefore, I have one thing
to ask you.

Ask it then.

When a man's land
is thick with battle..

...and he is in the thickest
of it all his waking hours..

Is it fitting
to think of marriage?

It is fitting.

Since in war, as in peace..

...the guards watch over love.

As they do over life and death.

Then I invite you
to become my wife.

You forget.

I am promised to Kim Doctor.

'I remember your lips made
a promise. What of your heart?'

It is true.

My heart turns elsewhere.

It is written..

"One whose heart
is not content..

...will never know happiness."

Sorry, if I've kept
you waiting, Gray.

That last patient was telling me
some wonderful stories

about this whole place.

Mountains do make you
feel small and insignificant.

They're so huge
and overwhelming.

What's the matter?

- Do I look odd or something?
- Quite the contrary.

As a matter of fact, I was just
thinking how lovely you look.

Well, thank you.

But don't tell Durand Doctor
I said that.

I was just wishing that I might.
I think it would please her.

It's be the first compliment
you ever paid her.

Outside of her professional
ability.

You didn't hold out much hope
for her when she first arrived.

I must have made things
pretty miserable for you, Sara.

I've loved
every moment of it.

Darling, hold me.

Don't let me think.

I've waited for so long. I've
watched your hands as you work.

I wanted to touch them.

I loved your voice
when you called me "Darling".

Gray, why did we have to wait
until it was too late?

Don't be sorry, darling.
I'm not, I won't ever be.

You've given me happiness.

I can make that enough.

We still have our work.

Nothing must ever
spoil that, Gray.

Nothing ever will.

Goodnight.

Goodnight..

...doc.

- Good morning, Mrs. Thompson.
- Good morning, Dr. Kim.

If I may take
the liberty of saying so..

...life here in Wan Li
must be most unbearable for you

- who are not accustomed to it.
- You're very kind.

Surely your husband
is aware of this.

He said it isn't possible
to leave here now.

The way has been blocked
by Japanese troops.

That is true.

And yet if one
is determined enough..

- ...a way could be found.
- Dr. Kim..

I'd give anything
to get out of Wan Li.

You'll treat as confidential,
what I have to say?

Of course.

I, myself, might be able
to arrange for your departure.

You?

Although, one considers me
but an insignificant doctor..

...I'm not without friends
of great influence in Lancao.

Through them a plane might
be sent to take you home.

But why should you be
so concerned?

Surely, my welfare can't mean
as much to you as all that.

I will speak frankly. I do not
enjoy being a subordinate.

If Dr. Thompson leaves with you,
Dr. Durand will lose authority..

- ...and I will be in charge.
- I see.

In order to accomplish this,
I must have your co-operation.

I'll give you a message in code
to send to my friend in Lancao.

- Why can't you send it?
- I would be questioned.

Only military messages
may be sent.

But the telegrapher would not
hesitate to accommodate you.

I'm afraid that won't help me.

My husband said that
even if there were a way out..

...his duties here
but prevent him from leaving.

A clever and attractive woman
can always convince her husband

that his greatest duty
is to her.

'Chung!'

See, what I have.

Thompson Doctor brought it
for me from mountain.

One of Chen-Ta's men
gave it to him.

That is good.

It means there's one less
Devil dwarf to pollute Earth.

'It is true.'

Siu-Mei..

May I speak with you?

Why haven't you been near me
since your visit to the chief?

- I have had much to do.
- You haven't had time to greet?

You too have been occupied.
You're always with the butcher.

I guard his health
for your guerilla chief.

But I'm never too occupied
to not stop to speak to you.

- You will excuse me.
- Siu-Mei..

I must see Durand Doctor.

Thompson Doctor's wife is
waiting for him in the office.

Oh, thank you, Siu-Mei.

Hello, Louise.

Gray's in surgery, he'll be busy
a few more minutes.

Oh, well, I guess,
there's nothing to do but wait.

Why haven't you
been around lately, Sara?

- 'We've missed you.'
- Mmm.

Well, there's been
lots to do here.

Evidently.

I notice that Gray has been
spending more time here, too.

As a doctor, I'm afraid
it's only natural

that he should devote
most of time to his work.

But is it his work
that keeps him here?

I don't know.

But if it isn't,
and if I were his wife..

- ...I'd do something about it.
- For instance?

Like I don't understand what
he's attempting to do out here?

To appreciate his work..

...I try to see things his way
and encourage him.

In short, I try
to make him happy.

- He isn't happy now.
- Maybe you're imagining that.

Maybe you're the one
who isn't happy.

- I wasn't thinking of myself.
- How noble of you!

I suppose, you listen to me
for a change.

You're never
going to get Gray.

You had your chance
before he married me.

But I've got him now
and I'm going hold on to him.

Louise, I have no intention
of taking Gray away from you.

- You won't believe that.
- Why should I?

You'd do anything to get him.
You know you would.

But you're such
an antiseptic charm.

How Gray could have ever fallen
in love with anybody like you?

You're jealous of me.
Jealous of my life with Gray.

But let me tell you something,
Gray brought me here

and he's gonna take me back
no matter what you try to do.

Dr. Kim.

Mrs. Thompson.

This is indeed
a pleasant surprise.

Wyoming, I would like to see
that rare basket you spoke of.

With pleasure.

Dr. Kim, I've decided to send
that message.

Hoping you would come
to this decision

I took the liberty of composing
the message for you.

It's signed
with Dr. Thompson's name.

Mainly to ensure acceptance
of the telegraph office.

"Regret to inform you
that Lee Shen-Sang has been

critically injured
in an air raid on Wan-Li."

What does it really say?

We request for a plane
as soon as possible.

When will this plane arrive?

I will let you know
in plenty of time.

Till I do so, it will be best
to say nothing to your husband

of our extremely pleasant
conversation.

They've passed us.

They've passed us!
They've passed us!

Now I'm certain that my message
has been received.

They did not bomb Wan-Li
because they know I am here.

Are they not beautiful?

I see no beauty in them.

Only relief that we're not being
bombed anymore.

For this the people of Wan-Li
owe me a debt of gratitude.

Well, they all go
to the shelter, or not?

Mei, I think we can take
a chance and not move.

They passed us.

I don't know whether
to be glad or sorry.

Who would ever have thought
that peace could be so menacing?

It's like the last meal
they bring to the condemned man.

If one sees with the mind and
not with the eyes

this is the finest snow
in the world.

- Merry Christmas, darling.
- Merry Christmas, Louise.

Merry Christmas to everybody.

And Little Goat too.

Purr, a kiss like that is almost
grounds for divorce.

- What's the matter with you?
- Oh, nothing. Nothing.

What makes you think
that anything's the matter?

Ever since you came back
from your trip to Chen-Ta..

...you've been miles away
from me.

Haven't I been different
since the bombing stopped?

Haven't I been more like
the Louise you first met

and fell in love with?

# Jingle bells, jingle bells

# Jingle all the way

# Oh, what fun it is to ride

# In a one horse open sleigh

# Jingle bells, jingle bells

# Jingle all the way

# Oh, what fun it is to ride

# In a one horse open sleigh

Why all this?

It's the city magistrate
paying his respects to us.

# O'er the fields we go

# Laughing all the way

# Bells on bob tails ring

# Making spirits bright

# What fun it is
to laugh and sing #

# A sleighing song tonight

# Jingle bells, jingle bells

# Jingle all the way

# Oh, what fun it is to ride

# In a one horse open sleigh

# Jingle bells, jingle bells

# Jingle all the way

# Oh, what fun it is to ride

# In a one horse open sleigh

Back home it's still the day
before Christmas.

And I've been thinking of..

...oh, silly things like..

...like the store windows,
last minute shopping,

cold air flows around my face.

You do miss New York,
don't you?

Can you blame me, Gray?
Can you really blame me?

No, I can't say that I do.
I realize now

that it was a mistake
to bring you here.

Then why don't we go home
where we belong?

I've told you, Louise,
there's no way out now.

Oh, but-but suppose
there were.

Suppose a way could be found.
Would you go?

There's no use
talking about it.

It's impossible to leave now.

It's impossible now
but it won't be long before

we'll be able to get out.

- I'm sure of it.
- Sure of it?

'How can you possibly
be sure of it?'

Oh, I mean, uh..

I just took it for granted
we won't be locked here forever.

Aren't you the least
concerned about my work here?

Oh, for heaven's sake, Gray,
that's all

I've heard since coming here.

Your work, your work,
as if nothing else mattered.

What about me?
Don't I count?

Doesn't my happiness
mean anything to you?

After all lamyour wife.

Alright, Louise, as soon as it's
possible I'll take you home.

Oh, darling!

Darling! darling, that's all
I wanted to hear you say.

- Good morning, Sara.
- Good morning.

Well, aren't you going
to wish me a Merry Christmas?

Hm?
Oh, of course.

- Merry Christmas, darling.
- Thanks.

You're just in time to help me
distribute the presents.

Children are wild
with excitement.

- Sara.
- Yes.

Louise and I, we're going back
to the States

as soon as possible.

In other words
you're running away.

'If you wanna put it that way.'

Gray, you started this hospital.
You saw it take form and shape.

'You've watched it bring
hope and comfort to everyone.'

'How can you possibly
desert it at a time like this?'

Gray, you can't do it.

No matter how you feel.

Your work is the only thing
you can consider now.

I know you think you're doing
the only honorable thing.

But it's wrong, Gray.

We don't count.
Not you or me or Louise.

I love you.

And I know
I can never have you.

But don't let our love
destroy everything

our work together
has created.

Nothing can ever destroy that.

Alright, Gray.

Durand doctor!
Thompson doctor!

Maybe I've something important
to tell you.

I do not like to be tale-teller

But one day I see Kim doctor..

...and Thompson lady
on the street.

They talk so.
Psss, psss, psss.

'You mean they were whispering?'

Then I see Kim doctor
give her a paper.

And Thompson lady
go on the wireless office.

This happen on one day..

...and on the next day
the bombing stopped.

I can't understand it.

Why should Dr. Kim wanna help
the Japs?

The Koreans have done everything
possible to defeat the Japs.

Ask Mrs. Thompson
to come here right away.

Yes, Thompson doctor.

Where did you get that gun?

Since you have refused
to supply me with arms

I was forced to borrow it

from one of the guards
in the shelter.

Though he may not have
discovered his losses as yet.

Just why did you have my wife
send a telegram for you?

- For me?
- What are you planning?

- I'm afraid I don't understand.
- You're lying.

The bombing stopped the day
after the telegram was sent.

I assure you, Dr. Thompson,
that is purely coincidence.

But since you're
so well informed..

...your wife Kim
sent a telegram for a plane.

'You see, Mrs. Thompson was
most anxious to leave here.'

- With you of course.
- Hmm.

And Yasuda plans to leave
on the same plane, is that it?

You know what'll happen
when Chen-Ta hears of this?

May I remind you
that it was your wife

who sent the telegram?

There's the plane,
Dr. Thompson.

You must make up
your mind quickly

whether to please your wife
or not.

Paratroops!
Jap para troops!

That's what your message was,
Dr. Kim?

You lied.

That plane was not
for your escape.

Not for the Thompsons.

'This treachery
I will not share.'

Fool! You shared that
when you revealed

Chen-Ta's ammunition
supply source.

Now I shall lead my men there.

And they will destroy
until the last shell.

Thompson doctor!

Look after Dr. Kim.

Li-Yang, get all
the men together.

Have them grab the guns
and tell them

I'll meet them
at the shelter.

Let me take care
of that, Gray.

- Come on.
- It's alright, Sara.

Gray!
Gray, I'm frightened.

So am I for what you've done.

Look in that room,
and that's only the beginning.

- Siu-Mei..
- I wish I could help you.

It is better so.

Chang, march your men
over here.

Listen, men!

If the devil blower succeeds
in blowing up

the ammunition in the shelter..

...Chen-Ta and his men
will have nothing

with which to fight.
We must stop them.

'Li-Yang.'

'Go to the telegraph office,
send messages for help.'

Rest of us will dig in here.

Attack!

- Ah!
- Louise!

Louise!

Hold it!
Hold it!

Siu-Mei, quickly!

Why do you wait?
Shoot!

I'd like to,
you Japanese butcher.

I owe it to the people
of China.

Take him!

'Shouting, shouting,
then the machine gun fire.'

You promised to wait for me
until I came back.

Please, Little Goat, tell me
how you saved Wan-Li?

Well, Little Plum Blossom.

I was chosen by the Gods
to be a man of destiny.

And when all you kids hid safely
in the caves..

...I furiously met
a ruthless enemy

and defeated him
in mortal combat.

Amid shot and shelling,
deadly machine gunfire.

Chen-Ta.

When the devil dwarfs
come no more..

...and peace is in the land.

I shall return in, Siu-Mei.

I shall be waiting.

Yoba!

Alright, everybody
to the shelter.

Siu-Mei, clear them all!

Here you are.

- They won't pass us this time.
- Right.

You'd better go
to the shelter too.

- I'll stand by.
- Oh, no.

We'll standby together.

Alright, doc.
