Original subtitles

Then you want guns?

Many guns.

Much ammunitions to go with them.

I can get you guns and cartridges,

but they'll cost much silver.

They will give you all silver they have, much.

They will fill that when you return with the guns.

Wong, you've lived in Hong Kong?

Many years.

I was a servant for a white man.

To get the guns your people want, I will have much trouble.

My own people will try to stop me.

Many people from this village in Hong Kong,

they work.

I will need much help.

Then I go with you to Hong Kong.

That is good.

How?

It is a bracelet from my ancestors.

For 1,000 years, it has belonged to my people

to protect from death, the man who wears it.

You like?

Trade you a new?

Whoa, stop!

Oh, what do I have to say to you to bring you to a standstill?

Hold on!

I believe your story, all right.

You buy beads?

Bring you luck.

He doesn't want any beads.

Will you sell this? No.

You can't see?

It's bad luck for a white man.

Come on, you see?

It's bad luck.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Are you going to buy that thing?

Well, if I can.

Now, get this.

I want to get there where the boat leaves for Macao.

Understand?

No stopping.

Me taking you $1 every hour.

So you understand that $1 business, all right.

Now, keep on going.

Boat.

Macao.

Maybe you'd like a pair of earrings to go with it.

Would you shut up?

Listen, if you bring that thing to the hotel,

I'll throw it out the window.

Stop it.

I've had enough of this.

Ah.

Aw, don't give me that.

I'm going to walk.

Excuse me.

What's the matter?

You're in trouble?

Yes.

Traffic trouble.

This one's turning me around in circles, until I'm dizzy.

Why, I'm surprised at you.

Is there any place you'd like to go in particular, lady?

Oh, what do you think?

Well, I thought you were just out for a buggy ride.

Not for a $1 an hour.

You're getting jipped.

Tell me...

You see that place?

Yes.

Why, it's a joint.

No place for a nice girl like you to go.

Well, I've just got to get there.

Well, I know.

But it's several... several hours on a boat.

Besides, you're going to be able to take your hair out

of your soap when you get there?

Anything... anything's liable to happen at Macao.

Why, it's a sink full of gambling,

and all sorts of.

You don't want to go to Macao!

I can take care of myself.

OK.

Uh, you savvy folk go to Macao?

You savvy now?

All right.

I'm going to follow you.

If you go wrong, you'll be standing up for a month.

You very strong, young man.

You go to many places?

That's right?

How do you know that?

Man of China see many things, like.

That bracelet seems to be very old, very valuable.

That's for sale.

I tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you uh, $200 max.

Maybe sometime, I see you again.

Maybe so.

Good afternoon, office.

Hi there, my little peach blossom.

How did you know my name was peach blossom?

It is?

Ha.

Well, you see, I'm a my mind reader.

What are you doing tonight, peaches?

Will the honorable gentleman please refrain

from kidding over the phone?

It's against the rules.

I'm sorry. See, listen.

Get this straight.

Will you see that Mr Thomas Keene's

baggage is sent up to his room?

And if there's any mail... Don't break the door.

Hey, what are you so sore about?

For missing my date at the consulate.

Yeah.

Well, on account of that screwy bracelet.

Did you buy it?

No.

I'm glad of that.

It was a charm of faddish, a museum piece.

I wonder why that peddler wouldn't sell it.

Oh, that's just the usual line of Chinese hooey.

But I found something better than a bracelet.

What? -A girl.

White girl?

Yeah, a white girl.

What do you think of that?

Well, it's a bit unusual.

Hurry up.

Listen, Tom, I'm telling you.

This doll is beautiful!

Oh, a hole in my sock.

Here I am, talking about beautiful dames,

and you're talking about a hole in your sock.

And another thing.

I found out her name.

It's uh, Trina.

Pretty, ain't it?

Can she cook?

You are Tensei.

You come from the village of Tein Chow, my village.

Yes, Honorable Wong.

You are the crafty one.

The young man in that room, I wish to know

every move he makes while here.

The big one who talks much and laughs loud?

Not he.

His head is empty, nothing in it.

But the other man who just came from the king.

I have mails for him, see, it is from American consulate.

Dame, I've got something more important on my mind.

You know, I got an idea.

Maybe we ought to go to Macao for the weekend.

What do you say?

No.

Yeah.

That's what I said.

Come in.

Any mail for me?

No mail, sir.

That's funny.

Mr. Caulder.

How are you?

Did you get my message?

No.

Well, perhaps it's just as well you

didn't come to the consulate.

What are you waiting for?

You beat it quickie, or I give you booty and see the panty.

Mr. Walter, Mr. Caulder, an old friend of mine.

Excuse me, Mr. Caulder.

I'm on my way out.

Will you sit down?

Why didn't you report to the consulate,

the minute you got into town?

Well, I'll tell you.

I stopped to look at a bracelet.

Oh, you're incorrigible.

And if I didn't need you for this particular job, I'd...

Forget that stuff.

What sort of a tough assignment have you got for me this time?

His name is Gil Burris.

Next convict in the states.

He's running guns and ammunition to the natives down the coast.

It's up to you to stop him.

Is that all?

Pleasant little job.

Stop that stuff from getting into the hands of the natives,

no matter what you have to do.

And if you get into trouble doing it,

don't come back to me.

This is unofficial business.

Where can I find him?

Macao.

OK.

And don't stir up a hornet's nest, like you

did in that Nanking affair.

Goodbye, my boy, and good luck.

Thanks.

What time's the next boat leave for Macao?

The last boat leaves in 20 minutes.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

To work.

Why the gun?

Looks like that kind of a job.

Well, at least you could tell me where you're going.

Macao.

Macao?

Oh, swell.

I'm going too.

Try and stop me.

Say, have you got a toothbrush?

He goes to Macao now, at once.

We just made it.

Oh, boy.

We're going to have some fun on this trip.

Listen, I've got important business.

So have I. That's what I said.

And it's got to be handled very carefully.

Yeah.

That's what I said.

Hey, come.

What is it?

-I just saw him. -Who?

The guy I'm looking for.

When's the shooting start?

Aw, shut up.

Wait a minute.

I was just thinking.

In case of fire, look for the nearest fire exit, only there

ain't no fire exit.

That's her.

Trina?

She's a nice company.

How could a nice girl like her get mixed up...

I'm going up there.

Listen, you're just a nice boy from heaven.

You're only here for a short time.

How are you going to get up there, fly?

I'll find out. You stay here.

OK.

I'll catch you when they throw the body down.

Where you go?

Oh, private party.

You no go.

That man you were staring at just now, do you know him?

No.

Jealous?

Of anyone who even looks at you from now on.

Oh, silly.

Honorable , must speak with you at once.

Very important.

Will you excuse me please, just a moment?

Course.

The guns and ammunitions for my people

have arrived in Hong Kong.

Then they get through all right?

There's much danger.

Why?

The American who caused the trouble at Nanking.

You told me to watch for him at Hong Kong.

I did.

He met the consul there.

He's here in Hong Kong now?

He's here, at Macao.

He's drunken.

I want this, two.

Two of this.

Here.

Right.

Hands off.

Hands off.

Get back to the boat.

Hold a state room for me.

We have to go.

I'm terribly sorry Trina, but we've got to go.

Go?

Back to Hong Kong.

Oh, tonight, of all nights.

Gil, are you in trouble again?

No, of course not.

-Thank you. -Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Hey.

You might as well kill a guy or scare him to death.

Did you find out anything? -Yeah.

They're on this boat.

Together?

Yeah.

And I thought she was a nice girl.

Nice girls don't team up with ex-jailbirds.

Well, does smell and look good.

You've got to admit that.

Well, she's pretty...

What's the matter?

I could've sworn I saw somebody looking in that window.

Well, did you see anyone?

Well, not exactly, but I... I felt

a presence, so sort of a hunch.

Well, what do you want to tell me about, if you ain't sure?

Well, you asked me, didn't you, you dummy?

Hey, what are you doing there?

You think I want to get murdered in my bed?

Oh, so you're going to sleep?

Well, that'll keep you quiet for awhile, anyhow.

No, I ain't going to sleep.

Well, make up your mind.

Hey, where are you going?

Out.

Take a little look around.

And leave me here, all alone?

Sissy.

Room number 32.

I think it's a good chance to get rid of him.

Let me think about it.

Stay near here, where I can find you.

Oh, you're lovely, Trina.

Wait a minute, Gil.

This, I've got to get clear on my mind.

Anything you want to know.

When a girl makes a decision about a man,

she has the right to know all about him.

Of course.

When I met you in Vienna three years ago,

I knew you would be in trouble.

I helped you, and you promised me to be honest.

I've kept my word!

Have you, Gil?

It might make all the difference in both our lives.

I've gone straight.

Why those mysterious meetings with a China man?

Business.

And what are you planning to do to that young man,

that American?

Yes, I heard.

You lied to me.

I'm not going to be mixed up in anything like this.

Well, what do you want to do about it?

Trina!

I'd like to have another state room.

But ma'am, I'm so sorry.

There's not another state room on the board.

Oh.

Please.

Aren't you afraid you'll catch cold?

Oh, please.

I'm in trouble.

I can't tell you anymore now, but be careful.

Hey!

What's the idea?

You might give a guy a chance to get his pants on.

I wonder if... would you please let me stay here tonight?

Have you got a state room?

Yes, but...

Then use it.

Your request is quite unusual, to say the least.

I know, and it's hard to explain.

And equally hard to understand, unless-

You see, I saw you two in Macao, you Americans,

and you seemed like the kind of people I could appeal too.

Just what did Burris send you to me to find out?

Then you know Mr. Burris?

Yeah.

I see.

You think that I... oh.

I'm mistaken.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

I'll go.

No, you won't.

You'll stay right here.

All night?

Yes.

Oh, I suppose I ain't got nothing to say about it, huh?

Right, outside.

Oh, I see.

My pal, huh?

If I go out, you stay here.

Is that it?

Exactly.

I don't know whether you're on the level or not,

but I'm going to take a chance.

How well do you know this fellow, Burris?

Well enough to be afraid.

Then you don't know his business?

No.

You don't know he's a gun runner?

That's it.

That's all I wanted to know.

And now, suppose you tell us something about yourself,

how you came to be here?

Not now, please.

Perhaps tomorrow.

Look, I offer you help.

You're in trouble too.

I'm quite used to that.

Good night.

And where, Santa Claus, do we sleep?

On deck chairs.

Deck chairs?

Why don't we sleep in our room?

I said deck chairs.

Oh, all right.

But first, I'm going down to the bar and get fortified.

You mean ? -Yeah.

That's what I said.

What are you going to do?

Well, if you prefer here to your own state room,

it's quite all right with me, only

you forget to lock your doors.

I'll have to do it for you.

Well, my friend, we meet again.

I thought your business was something

more than just selling beads.

Come on, get up.

Ha.

Say, I ought to pitch you over that rail,

or turn you over to the captain.

And eventually, you'd find yourself in chains in Nanking.

Perhaps the sort of the executioner.

But I shall do neither.

I remember the words of your great teacher, Confucius.

If thy brother attempt to kill thee,

smile upon him in pity, for he hath lost his soul.

I see you've lost face with your Gods... wait.

Keep this.

You may need it when you find that the white man who sells

your people guns will lie to you,

cheat you, take your silver, and give you nothing.

Good morning, my dear.

I hope you slept well.

We're just docking.

My car is here at the wharf, waiting

to take us to the hotel.

Hey, wake up.

We're in.

Oh, good morning, boys.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

What do you think of that?

Aw, shut up.

Hey, where'd you get that bracelet?

Give me that hoodle!

Where did you get this hoodle?

Here, come on. Give me that.

-No! -Look out!

You'll... Look out, you'll drop it!

I'm glad it's gone.

It was hard luck, anyway.

She's gone.

That's too bad, sucker.

You lost, I find.

You pay.

Huh?

You pay.

Thank you.

Well, you're not really going to quit me because of what

you've heard from a stranger.

I believe him.

Oh, it's utterly ridiculous.

I'm in a legitimate business.

I saw and heard enough last night.

You mean Wong?

Well, he has in some way, made an enemy of Wong.

That's his lookout.

You locked me in that room and made it appear as...

You were nervous over ,

and I locked that door for your own protection.

You might think I'm pretty easy to fool, hm?

Well, I don't believe you, and my mind is made up.

Well, it begins to look like you're right, for once.

Well, I've got to be sure.

If she's using me, then turnabout's fair play.

Listen, that game's too smart for you.

Now, if you ask me, I think she's got you groggy.

Oh, the like there's lies in woman's eyes,

and lies, and lies, and lies.

Oh, shut up.

And me... we're two perfectly good tickets for the polo game.

Give me those.

Connect me with room 214.

Hello?

Oh, just a minute, please.

For you.

Hello?

Yes.

It is quite impossible now.

But if you've never seen a polo game in Hong Kong,

it's quite worthwhile.

Besides, I want to talk to you about something important.

I'll call you back.

The young man?

Yes.

Why don't you see him, have a little talk with him?

Find out all the things of which he imagines me guilty.

Then in fairness to me, give me a decent chance

to clear myself.

He wants me to go to the polo game.

Oh, splendid.

You'll enjoy it.

It's very colorful, lots of action.

Then when you come back, persuade him to see me.

I'll convince him very quickly that he's

barking up the wrong tree.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes?

Yes.

Fine!

All right.

I'll see you downstairs in say, an hour.

She's going.

On my tickets?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Oh, hello, Blake.

You've got to get out of the warehouse right away.

It's about that shipment of...

Eggs, yes.

Eggs spoil very quickly in this climate.

Well, these eggs are pretty hot.

There's a couple of guys washing the warehouse,

and coolers are getting pretty jumpy.

Is my boat in yet?

Not yet.

Well, we'll find Wong, have him move the boat in,

and then we'll work fast.

Eggs?

And you came all the way out here to meet him?

Yes.

Because you love him?

I came out here to marry him.

My boat arrived here three days ago.

Mr. Burris didn't meet me, but he left me a message that I

should meet him in Macao.

He was kind, considerate.

Everything seemed to be all right.

Right after we were... then last night,

all those things happened.

You haven't told me everything.

No.

Not everything.

You probably think I'm crazy.

Ha.

Who isn't sometimes?

Last night seems like sort of a dream, doesn't it?

It sure does, when I see you in the clear light of day.

Am I as bad as that?

You're lovely.

Please.

You're so sure of yourself, but isn't there a possibility

that you're wrong once?

Anyone can be wrong once.

Then will you do something for me?

Almost anything.

See Mr. Burris at his office.

Give him a chance to explain.

Yes, I'll see him.

Thanks.

Hey, look.

Where do you get your eggs?

Egg?

Yeah, eggs, eggs... you know.

The things you eat.

No, no, no.

Not fish.

Look, eggs.

Eggs.

You know, the things at the hen... you know,

caw, caw, caw, caw, caw... eggs!

Eggs!

Ah,

The munitions are satisfactory.

The silver is ready for you at the village of.

We'll move on the out tide.

Is the boat set?

Dock soon.

I'll bring her in alongside.

Better get the boat set now.

Come on, Blake.

We've got another job to do first.

What's the idea?

I'm just setting the stage for the entrance of

our inquisitive, young friend.

You know what to do?

Leave it to me.

Won't you come in?

Well, this is a pleasure.

So kind of you to come to see me.

Don't mention it.

I didn't come for your sake.

I can readily understand that.

Trina, you mind waiting in the hall?

Burris, it looks like you're in trouble.

It seems to me, you're the one who's in trouble right now.

We're going to have a showdown.

That suits me.

Keene, you're beginning to get in my hair.

But not under your skin?

That's too tough to penetrate.

So you see, Burris, you're not getting away with a thing.

I'll give you a chance to lay off of me.

-Will you do It -What do you think?

I'm asking you.

What are those?

Don't you know?

No.

Neither do I. Then you're not in with Burris?

Oh, don't!

If it goes off.

What do you mean, goes off?

Say, uh, how much has your job been paying you?

A few hundred a month, then cakes.

How'd you like to make a couple thousand?

Listen, Burris, I'm not interested in any rotten

proposition you can offer.

My job is to stop you in your murderers trapping.

Well...

Ah.

Ah.

That explosion will bring all the cops in Hong Kong here.

Start moving them.

Oh, what are you going to do with them?

Just what he did to Blake.

Give him a chance.

Take lady , plenty quick.

Sammy!

Boys moving cases fast.

Pretty thing on boat.

I'll get ready to shove off.

Before you come on board...

A man know China always speaks.

You give me my life once, I give you yours now.

Now, we even.

Wait.

My people, my ancestors, owe you much.

But you not follow, or I might shoot.

Steady.

Come on, Wong.

That's the last of the rifles.

Oy.

You no get ammunition now?

No.

Not until after I get the silver.

They all are gone!

Come on!

Stay here and keep the motor running.

And look, push this switch to hoist the anchor.

-Yes. -Not now!

Oh, where are you going?

Up to that village.

But you could go and leave now.

I've got to keep that stuff out of the hands of the natives.

It means hundreds of lives.

Oh, but Tom!

You stay here and be ready to go when you see me coming back.

Oh!

There you are.

That's the last case.

This is satisfactory.

When I get this stuff on board, I'll deliver the cartridges.

Then they can kill whoever they want,

themselves, white men, anything, only I'm not taking

any chances of them getting me.

Oh, you.

Where you go now?

The burning of Tein Chow will bring the British cruisers

on me like a pack of bull dogs.

Where you go?

Langel Island.

I've used it before.

That ammunition belong to my people.

We paid for it.

Oh, they'll get it, but not until this thing blows over.

You promise?

Sure, I promise.

I wish you'd observe that the tide is low, six feet.

It smashes in here with fury.

No one could get to it without being killed.

Get out.

I could've disposed of you at anytime, Mr. Keene,

but violence is quite useless and pointless,

when there is a better way to eliminate an annoyance.

You're going to leave us here?

Why not. because I have a very romantic nature.

I wouldn't think of stepping on love's young green.

Before The International Court, Mr. Keene,

you're in as deep as myself, because you

started the fight that caused the burning of Tein Chow.

Really, I should thank you for that.

You see, I have the silver, and I didn't

have to deliver the munitions.

I can sell these to some other village,

when this affair blows over.

I'll be back in a month.

If you're still alive, I'll be very much surprised.

If you're dead...

Oh!

Oh.

Oh!

No.

Coward!

Hey!

What's the idea?

You lied to me, you cheat!

You steal!

They are Chinese.

They my people!

Yeah?

Uh, change of course.

Uh, southwest by west.

Ay, ay, sir.

Lower the boat, make an investigation.

Ay, ay, sir.

Swing her about to the wind, and we'll drop the sea anchor.

Ay, ay, sir.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

This man is cold.

He's been dead for hours.

And this China man is still warm.

He was evidently killed by the explosives

he set off as a rescue signal.

Wait!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Did you hear that?

Yes.

I thought I heard something when I was back there in the rocks.

Hello.

Help!

Where are you?

Over here!

We can't get in there on account of the high tide.

Well, we'll locate them anyway and do

what we can until morning.
