Their beef's with the Chinese.

Very good, Wu. Thank you.

We're going for China Doll.

There'll be plenty of China Dolls where we're headed.

Wu, light some torches.

What about my wallet? There was a wallet in this jacket!

How would you like to earn your fare?

Sorry. I'm not cut out for the soup kitchen. Thanks.

Well, all you have to do is make a few enquiries for us.

Yeah? Why me?

You speak Chinese with such flair.

Yeah, a lot of good it does me. I might as well quack.

We're anxious to contact a rickshaw puller.

He's the father of a soldier who's lost his leg.

The poor lad is delirious.

I've absolutely no aptitude for the native gibberish

and Miss Tatlock's only been here a few weeks.

The boy was barely able to scratch his father's name.

Can you make it out?

Wu Ch'En She.

You see, Miss Tatlock, I knew we'd picked a winner.

You know, people don't talk cheap here in Shanghai.

I'm gonna need a bankroll.

Whatever you need, Miss Tatlock will provide.

Not that we don't trust you, of course.

But a person free of financial responsibility

can perform much more efficiently.

What is that?

Amy the Killer.

Absolutely not. I do not approve of drinking.

Look at me, I'm shaking. I can't be any good to you like this.

You're wasting your time, Mr. Wasey.

What about rice?

You don't have anything against rice, do you? I haven't eaten in three days.

Very well.

Uh, rice wine.MANDARIN)

Look at that. Steady as a brain surgeon.

I have something to say to you, Mr. Wasey.

I do not intend to be made a fool of.

You're flippant, facetious,

and I suspect, sorely lacking in moral fiber.

However, I am duty-bound to Mr. Burns to work with you,

and I shall try.

We've made a deal, you and I and he,

and I expect you to live up to it.

You don't like me much, do you, ma'am?e myself clear?

Well, maybe after you get to know me a little bit, what do you think?

I think there's very little chance of that.

I expect our association to be an extremely brief one.

Pick one.

I'll do no such thing.

It's degrading to use your fellow man as a beast of burden.

Yes, but when you're looking for a rickshaw puller,

the best person to ask is the Rickshaw King.

We'll take a taxi.

Then we'll find the Taxi King.

Dear friend.

Justin Kronk?

I can help you locate a certain gentleman.

Am I to understand you can help us findhank you, a Mr. Wu Ch'En She? Madame.

Why does everybody get their peckers in a vice when you mention Wu Ch'En She?

The gentleman is a renegade,

Is that all they have against him?

He owes most of those men money from gambling debts,

They would kill him on sight.

Now, I personally do not know the gentleman's whereabouts,

Venerable sir,

I have some business for you.

Good afternoon, reverend lady, gentleman.

Please sit down.

My calling name is Ho Chong.

And greeting is deeply extended.

Unlike Western companies,

I insure those parts of the body the most precious by my customs.

Okay. How about

Would you please conclude this transaction?

All right. We'll take your $40 policy.

would you care protection for certain parts?

No, thank you.

The lips and ears perhaps.

Thank you, I said no.

Your twin pagodas, maybe?

Definitely not.

Surely you would to protect your haven of celestial bliss.

Dare you! I don't think her haven is in much danger.

Okay, she'll take the ears, the lips and them twinUh-huh.s.

A gift, dear friend.

You know, the Chinese find the juice of the tomatoes Ithe only suitable antidote

for the aromas of skunk,

fish and putrefied flesh.

When I get out of this tub,

I'm going to beat you like a red-headed stepchild.

But why? I saved your life.

I took you to the Red Society,

an organization with, uh, with an ironic sense of humor.

Had I delivered you to the Green Society,

they would have slit your throat.

Hung you up to drip like a Peking duck.

For looking for the father of a wounMmm, interesting.

Interesting? What's so goddamn interesting?

My dear friend, Wu Ch'En She has no sons.

So then why am I looking for him?

Every damn word out of your mouth hasld been a lie, hasn't it?y.

I can explain.

Yeah. There isn't any brave little boy

Look me straight in the eye and give me a one word answer.

No, there isn't. No, there isn't.

A missionary lying!

It's like pissing all over God's uniform.

If I had told you the truth, you never would have agreed to help us.

Mr. Wasey, at this very moment, tens of thousands ofat?

courageous soldiers are suffering agonizing pain

And not one of them is related to Wu Ch'En She.

Oh, hold the phone. The Walter Faraday?

Well, anyway, they say Wu stole 1,100 pounds ofaday, opium from this Mr. Faraday.?

You're looking for Faraday's flowers.

You've heard of them?

I've also heard of El Dorado and the Lost Dutchman Mine.

They don't exist either. You're crazy, you know that?

Do you know what they did to Walter Faraday? Do you?

Answer me, damn it!

I can't.

You smell so bad I can't think straight.

After they shot him, drowned him and burnt him,

they say he was fished out of the river,

skinned and deboned, then hung up

for everybody to see on the Lower Nanking Road.

That's only hearsay.

Maybe so. But if they'll do that to an Opium King,

to the Glow-in-the-dark Tie King?

What about your ties? What about 'em?

Mr. Burns has them stored at the mission.

Oh, dear. I sense Yyou've encounteredollow me tthe Red Society.ING)k upwind.

I'm afraid he knows.

No point in apologies, pal.

I just want my stuff.

You must think we're lunatics.

Lunatics? You're worse than lunatics.

Two missionaries and a Glow-in-the-dark tie salesman

do not just stroll up to people

and ask if they've seen 1,000 pounds of opium lying around.

This time they threw us in the fish.

Next time we get grinded into cat food.

He's right, you know.

I'm afraid we've been hopelessly irresponsible.

Perhaps this will make up A ticket?

I paid your fare to Los Angeles.

Your captain will welcome you back with open arms.

Your ship sails the day after tomorrow.

I booked a room for you in the Hotel Penang.

It's plain but adequate.

And, uh, here's a small contribution...

(COUGHING)

...towards your new clothes.

WASEY: That's mighty white of you, Burns.

No. No, I don't.

Well, we can't have you leaving Shanghai without tasting the duck.

Will you have dinner with me tonight?

I hope you're not offended, Mr. Wasey, but that new tie is a major improvement..

It's a little subdued for me. Boy, this place looks great.

Oh, we're not eating here.

I've got something more elegant in mind.

(BAND PLAYING) Your regular table?

An old watering hole, Mr. Wasey?

I've never been here before. I couldn't afford it till I met you.

PROSTITUTE: Where have youMay I join you?

What are you doing here?

Well, like you, Mr. Wasey, I come for the duck,

for the interesting people, for the beautiful flowers.

Gin? I hate gin. The usuGive me whiskey.

Naughty boy. You tried to jilt us.

Tried to jilt you? We've missed you, cheri.

Oh, you have? I don't even know who you are.

I see you have quite a following, Mr. Wasey.

Beat it.

Heavens above, has the fetching Miss Tatlock

taken up the oldest profession?

Don't be silly. You have a following of your own there, Tatlock.

My name is not Phil.

No, you're quite right. You're not Phil at all, are you?

Mr. Tuttle, this is my friend, Mr. Wasey.

Mr. Tuttle is a distinguished journalist.

He's also the foremost authority

on Walter Faraday in Shanghai.

Oh, well, what a coincidence.

Could this possibly be the reason

we're dining in this charming establishment?

Tell him, Willie. Tell him the flowers really do exist.

Oh, they exist all right, old boy. I've seen them.

Tell him where, Willie.

Faraday's villa, the night he was killed.

Five crates of premium opium.

My God, you look like Phil Borak.

You know, I hadn't the foggiest idea how to help you before,

but now I've seen Mr. Wasey.

I think she'd be amused. Don't you, Kronk?

I think she'd be fascinated.

Who? Who?

I'd like to introduce you to a remarkable woman.

She trained as an imperial concubine.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Wasey isn't here to participate... No, wait.

She is very selective and he is definitely her type.

And she works off the premises.

But we don't have the time or the money.

She believes she's an empress.

An emperor? The fortunate patron I absolutely forbid this!ror.

Her naHow much will it cost and shand when can we pays This could be a setup.

Don't be silly. Tuttle could be on some gang's payroll. Kronk, too.

Then why would they agree to help us and then turn around and hurt us?

Everybody else has.

Oh, too bad. (SIGHS)

Where did you learn that? In missionary school?HALING).

No.

An exclusive girls' school with an extremely It says, "Welcome, Mr. Wasey."

Bon voyage. Have a nice trip.

I've changed my mind. I'm not going.

It's the last thing I'll ever ask of you.

You look sincere, and you sound sincere,

and you're lying through your teeth.

Well, then,

you leave me no alternative.

That's my ticket.

Where did you get that?

You picked my pocket.

I certainly did and I'm quite prepared to tear it up.

Yes, I would.

he was furious at the leniency Come on. Wait, look.ence.

I'll tell you anything you want to know.

But still I got to insist. I'm a man of my word.

I mean, you've done enough for me already.

Miss Tatlock... I will not have you seeing that woman again.

I won't have to.

You don't really think I spent all that time

with China Doll without asking her about Walter Faraday, do you?

I had to pick just the right moment to bring it on.

(MOANING)

Don't stop. Oh, God! Don't stop. Don't stop.

Wasey,

don't you think it's time for you

to ask me about the true purpose of your visit?

Now?

What better time for two people The truth? What truth? truth?

The truth about Faraday's flowers.

Oh, that. What about 'em?

(MOANS) Wu Ch'En She.

I knPerhaps I can help you.

Later.

Later you may forget.

When Walter insisted I leave Shanghai with him,

Wu hid me.

And in return,

I arranged a buyer for the opium he would steal.

His name is Joe Go.

Joe Go? Where do I find this Joe Go?

Mmm, later, Wasey.

(MOANS)

TATLOCK: Well, for heaven's sakes, did she tell you Glendon, I'm talking to you.

Oh. Um...

Well, of course she told me where to find him.)

Why didn't you tell me before?

Quite frankly, Miss Tatlock, (LAUGHS)'You are Mr. Wasey?.

Yeah.

Joe Go, a regular Dizzy Dean, huh?.

What do you think? You ever see Dizzy pitch?

I saw him beat the Reds on the Fourth of July at Crosley Field.

want with 1,000 pounds of opium, huh?

Would you believe that's what it takes to get back to Los Angeles these days?

China Doll said you have a pretty face

and I should tell you all I know about Faraday's flowers.

Okay.

About a year ago Joe Go put up big down payment

so Wu Ch'en She can deliver five crates of super Grade A opium.

Only crates turn into five loads of super grade A bricks

and one small ball of Faraday's opium.

Someone pulled a switch. Wu Ch'En She?

Definitely not Wu.

Joe Go have Yamagani San beat Wu to a pulp.

No, if someone make the switch,

Joe Go bet on Faraday.

What was that?

Very hot item.

Joe Go call it Shanghai Surprise.

See. Stockpiling's hell of a damn good business.

Look.

Do you think the flowers still exist?er,

Joe Go ask himself, "If flowers don't exist, why does Wu still exist?"

You mean he's really alive?

Could we speak to him?

Tell you what, Joe Go out his down payment.

You want to speak to Wu?

You take Joe Go off the hook. Okay?

Okay.

Let's see.

I have, uh, $38.

Sister, $38 may get you ten cartons of Lucky Strike Greens,

but Joe Go is in hole for 12,000 big ones.

I might Jo Go know fastball, worth mocurveball, change-up,

even the elusive screwball.

But what the hell was this wondrous pitch?

Ah, yes. Word of this magic A has come to Joe Go's ears.

After you bring us to Wu Ch'En She.

I'd stay here if I were you.

Don't be silly.

This could be the end of our search.

Okay, let's go.

(MAN COUGHING)

Hey! (SPEAKING MANDARIN)ANDAHey!

Give me my purse back!

(TATLOCGlen!EAMING)

(ALL CLAMORING)

Glen!

WheWho did this to you? Who?

I'm not sure, but I think it means "The last phoenix." (Whatever that is.)

What puzzles me is why you were tortured.

It's just that, since the occupation,

the police have stopped torturing people except for purely political reasons.

That makes sense.

I mean, this guy stopped stretching my neck

the minute I mentioned opium.

Sadistic no-hands bastard.

No hands? Are you certain?

Well, it's pretty hard to make a mistake about a thing like that.

I saw a Chinese officer called Mei Gan

have his hands blown off the night Walter was killed.

Like everyone else, I've always thought

that the bad blood between those two had to do with the opium.

But looking back on the meticulous way

he searched that money belt,

it's entirely possible the dispute between them haHis name was also Mei Gan.e.

You know everything, don't you, Kronk? I beg your pardon?

Yeah, you know when the police want to see me,

you know where to get insurance, you know who is who.

You probably know how many damn freckles I have on my ass!

Glendon! What's the matter with you?

I mean, who is this guy? What does he want?th me.

I should be happy to answer you, Mr. Wasey.

I have no doubt whatsoever that you will accomplish your task.

I am just as certain that in some small way

I will help you achieve your goal.

And if I am correct, I expect to be rewarded.

As I'm sure Mr. Tuttle here

expects fair payment for services rendered.

After all, dear boy,

it was I that introduced you to China Doll.

We're The Helping Hand,

not Handouts Anonymous.

I wish you'd give up this opium businesst of here.

and just go back to saving souls.

Mr. Wasey, believe me, I'm not some little lamb who's lost in the woods.

Shanghai is the most dangerous city...

See what I mean?

Well, you can just tell Joe Go to await us a little longer, okay? Joe Go awaits you.

(GRUNTS)

Joe Go await you now!

LoHey, Big Stick!in for a Joe Go on pins and needles.

What did old Hookah Head have to say, huh?

Well, he blinked a few times, blew a few smoke rings

and whistled a mean chorus of Beat Me, Daddy, Eight to the Bar.

Don't throw Joe Go curveball, Big Stick!

Just explain what he said about monkey business around neck.

TelAll he said was, Wha"The last phoSon of a gun.

Yeah, something to do with Chinese mythology.

Joe Go, student of Chinese mythology shit.

Phoenix, huh? Okay.

First phoenix come up to bat during the reign of Huang-ti, Yellow Emperor.

Phoenix come up to bat last time

when it scratch at grave of Hung-wu,

first emperor of the Ming.

Scratched at the emperor's... It doesn't mean anything, does it?

Wu not only junkie, but, uh, crazy as a bedbug.

(CHUCKLING)

Oh, Joe Go very, very sorry about bump on head.

But just pretend it was wild pitch.

Okey-dokey.

Well, Miss Tatlock, I guess this is the end of the line for me.

What time does your boat leave tomorrow?

I'll try to get down to the docks 4:00. (GROANS)you off.

I better take this taxi.

do you ever wonder about what might have happened if we had met someplace else?

The bar at the Coconut Grove or...

Oh, make it a church picnic, Easter Sunday.

You've never been to a church picnic in your life.)

That's right, I haven't.

Thank Burns for me, all right?

For what?

For the intro.

Good evening, Mr. Wasey.

We regret the necessity for the hostile behavior,

but we didn't feel you'd receive us cordially.

I'm so sorry. I really do abhor these nasty little things.

You better keep it on me or I'm gonna have to kick you out of here.

As you wish. We'll get straight to the point.

After dinner... We went to Mr. Tuttle's newspaper

and looked up Mei Gan in the morgue.

WASEY: That's the son-of-a-bitch before he lost his hands.

But... But look at the headline on that clipping.

"Did This Man Loot the Royal Tombs?"

It would appear that Mei Gan aWould you care to guess hwho Mei GYou tell me.g with?

My dear departed friend, Walter Faraday.

They say the last phoenix scratched at the emperor's grave.

So, if Mei Gan also robbed graves,

that would be why Wu'd call him the last phoenix.

(CHUCKLING)

Boys, I owe you a dinner.

(DOOR OPENS)

WASEY: I have come to ask something only Yehonala would know.

What treasures did the warlord Mei Gan plunder from your tomb?

Do you think I would reveal to you what I have told no one else

merely because you resemble someone I once cared for?

Not at all. I'm hoping you'd tell me

so that I can my porcelHeavenly gardens?le and my heA flower garden?bow.

The leaves, diamonds.

Faraday's flowers.

Yehonala's flowers.

Faraday stole them from Mei Gan.

Walter was persuaded to retrieve from a thief

what always belonged to Yehonala.All right.

I'll tell my friends only that the opium does not exist.

Yehonala has done me a great service.

She also makes me very sad.

Why sad, Wasey?

He'll stop at nothing to get back what Faraday took from him.

He'll come after you.

Mei Gan came to me a year ago,

(SPEAKING MANDARIN).

You've been a most resourceful young man. Okay.

I commend you.

Look, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you.

You've not only mastered the enigma of Chinese mythology,

I suspect you've also solved the mystery of the Heavenly Gardens.

Look, it was opium I was after, not jewels.

4:00 this afternoon, I'm on my way back to Los Angeles.

Oh. How do you intend to travel?

By steamship or burlap sack?

You've got to be kidding.

I assure you if your answer is burlap sack,

Steamship, of course.

Good. Then you are free to embark

the moment you return the Heavenly Gardens to me.

You know who has them. Why can't you just get them?

Because the lady is immune to my methods of persuasion.

Yeah, a real bargain, see.
