6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 1>You are standing on the rolling deck of a pirate

7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.679
<v Speaker 1>junk in the China Seas and facing you as the

8
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>sinister figure of the most feared man in the Orient,

9
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>a general who has just doomed you to death.

10
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Today, with Bill Conrad starred as O'Hara, We Escaped to

11
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 3>China and the gripping story of pirate treasure. As Charles

12
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 3>Booth told it in his fascinating novel, The General died

13
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 3>at dawn.

14
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Yemp. China was spitting me out like a cherry pit.

15
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting that afternoon on a bench in the

16
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>strip of park that fronts the harbor of Shanghai, and

17
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>all I had in my pocket was an English shilling,

18
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and it was counterfeit el. I sat there and stared

19
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 1>at a ship in her berth at the Asia Pacific Docks.

20
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 1>She was a crack liner named Pearl of the Orient.

21
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Due to sail at eleven the following morning, Europe bond

22
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>by way of Suez, hell, bitterness, a counterfeit English shilling,

23
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 1>a need for physical action. All of a sudden they

24
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>melted into each other and bubbled into an idea. I

25
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>left the harbor and made my way to Frenchtown, to

26
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a narrow street of two and three story buildings, and

27
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>into one of them, and up a shabby stare, and

28
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>along a dim corridor to a door with mark Ramsgate

29
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>printed on it in gold letters. Ramsgate. I've come for

30
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the fifth teen hundred? You or me?

31
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Would you mind shutting the d double ore? There's a

32
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 2>simply killing draft.

33
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>The fifteen hundred Ramsgate. I want it now?

34
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Aren't you the persistent one?

35
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Though?

36
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 5>Now?

37
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Where was it you say you advanced me this huge sum.

38
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Of money chunking four years ago?

39
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

40
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, chunking. I was in a nasty mess with the police,

41
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>and you simply flew to my aid as a fellow American.

42
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that it? Hmm?

43
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Delicious?

44
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 6>But two too.

45
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Fantastics start counting out the money, ramscatell You listen to

46
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the man.

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm a private investigator, mister o'haran, not a banker or

48
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a missionary.

49
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I am not the most patient man on the China coast, Ramsgate,

50
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:41.120

<v Speaker 6>I can.

<v Speaker 2>You see? Would you mind leaving now? I've scads of

54
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>things to do.

<v Speaker 2>Gorgeous, isn't it? I use it for a goldfish bowl.

59
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It's empty.

60
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 2>I didn't feed them. They lasted six days.

61
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Hell, if you have no goldfish, you don't need the ball.

62
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll smash you for that.

63
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I can be smashed. Try it. He was strong and

64
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>very fast, and wore an enormous ring which was damaging

65
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>whenever he landed a punch. But he lost his coolness,

66
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>his best asset, really, and it didn't last very long ago.

67
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 7>Do you treat all your visitors like that?

68
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Mister Ramsday? Oh? Hello, come in, come in, shut the door.

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>Good afternoon, mister O'Hara, Good afternoon. Would you mind closing

102
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 2>the d double door?

103
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Well, I had what I came for. All right,

104
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I would argue the ethics of it with myself. When

105
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>the planks of the Pearl of the Orient were beneath

106
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 1>my feet and I was on my way to an

107
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>atmosphere that didn't rot a man's brain with the dampness

108
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>of things dead and done. I turned into Nan King

109
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Road and stopped in front of the Asia Pacific Office

110
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and the plate glass window the Gerald O'Hara who'd helped

111
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>build the Trans Siberian Railroad, who'd gone after Ivory and

112
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Ruby and gold. That Gerald O'Hara. Took a look at

113
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the Gerald O'Hara who'd roocked Irene Mallarray out of fifteen

114
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars, And then I hailed a rickshaw and told

115
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the boy to take me to the hotel Pierre.

116
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 9>Conte Ah sure, old, my friend, some marche.

117
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Smash, Papa conte a marsh, do me a favor. Will

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 1>you have missus Mallory paged and brought here and let

119
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 1>me use this office for a few minutes?

120
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:33.480
<v Speaker 9>Hello your desk, woo you Mallory. Coun you lie like

121
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 9>or sage you lou.

122
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Papa about the money I owe you? I I thought

123
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 1>i'd have it for you today but my lead blew upper.

124
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

125
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh you sorry.

126
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.879

127
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 9>the scar of a knife that was meant for me,

128
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 9>and you expect me to pause you for money.

129
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 1>Huh jer Well, it's the bill and it's got to

130
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 1>be paid.

131
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 9>Then let me worry about it. There's no point in

132
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 9>us both worrying. Oh, that will be missus. Mallory does

133
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 9>cognac on the desk.

134
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 7>Good evening, mister O'Hara.

135
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I suppose Kanti told you who I was?

136
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 7>No, I recognized you this afternoon.

137
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Ah, here's the money you gave me. Oh do you

138
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>know what the yards were when you handed it to me?

139
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>If your ever seeing me again, I was ready to

140
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>cut my best friend's throat for the price of a

141
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 1>ticket West.

142
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 7>Wouldn't you prefer to leave with a good bit more

143
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 7>than that?

144
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh the half million you mentioned?

145
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 7>Yes? Would you care to hear about it?

146
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Well? Perhaps care is too strong a word, but I'll listen.

147
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 7>Is a man named George Martel registered here. He's General

148
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 7>Yang's business agent. Do you know him?

149
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Your eyes are lovely? I like your eyes.

150
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.399
<v Speaker 7>Yang had five hundred thousand dollars worth of gold bars

151
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 7>here in Shanghai. Can you guess why he kept his

152
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 7>funds in bullion?

153
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 1>I haven't be hard to abscond with almost half a

154
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 1>ton of.

155
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 7>Gold, and Martel has been converting that into American dollars

156
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 7>for some time now. But there are two things he

157
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 7>doesn't know. Yang is aware of what he's doing, learned

158
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 7>about it last week. And Yang will be here in

159
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 7>Shanghai tonight.

160
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Yang enjoys a good deal of tolerance in the city,

161
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>but he's still an outlaw with a price on his head.

162
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>He has no legal recourse.

163
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.920
<v Speaker 7>He's got thumb screws and jack boots. Don't you see

164
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 7>what I'm getting at? Martell's life isn't worth a grain

165
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 7>of rice? Once Yang arrives.

166
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Yang's here, now? What he's here? Now? I saw Sergeant

167
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Wang is adc dressed as a koolie downe at the

168
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 1>docks this morning.

169
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 7>All the better unless Martel shares the money with us,

170
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 7>we won't help him escape from Shanghai. You uh, you

171
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 7>could arrange a way out for him, couldn't you?

172
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

173
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, I know ways. But I am not the

174
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>man for the job, Missus Mallory. I'm as empty as

175
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a sucked egg. I'm tired, very tired. I just want

176
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 1>to crawl out of Asia. I'm sorry.

177
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 7>No pride, nothing certain positive, not even enough to resent

178
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:02.240
<v Speaker 7>that or this?

179
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Why are you little?

180
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 7>You're hurting my wrist.

181
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 1>O'Hara, come here to me. Mm hmmm. Where's Martel now?

182
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 7>In the bar? Then he goes to dinner. That's his routine.

183
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 1>You know his room number? Yes, well lead me to it?

184
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Was that the last volise in the closet? Yes, well,

185
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>we know now that Martel doesn't keep the money in

186
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>his room.

187
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:38.639
<v Speaker 7>That would have been too obvious.

188
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, never be deceived by the obvious, mydea. The techniques

189
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 1>of hiding and finding haven't changed since Poe stated them

190
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>in the Pearloined letter. Next time someone's coming down the hall,

191
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 1>out of the light. What else behind the screen? H

192
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 1>what perfume do you use? It's marvelous?

193
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, oh, the heavenly room you have, mister Martin, My

194
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>so comfy.

195
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 10>Get to the point, mister Ramsgate, what is it you

196
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 10>wanted to speak to me about.

197
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>General Yang Shanghai funds? And what do you intend to

198
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 2>do with them?

199
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 6>Have you been prying into my affairs?

200
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Just no, busybody, don't try for a gun.

201
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 8>Just don't.

202
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 6>What is it?

203
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 2>You want all the money.

204
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 6>You have and the alternative.

205
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell Yang of the naughty, naughty.

206
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Thing you've done.

207
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 6>Mister Ramsgate.

208
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I beg you. Either give me the money, you'll be

209
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 2>prepared to face Yang.

210
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>And tell Oh harah, how about George. I ain't see

211
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>if Ramsgate has a gun? George. Have you met missus Maworray?

212
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

213
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 6>Heah, how good?

214
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Now see if George has one? Ah, easy, George, here

215
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:54.639
<v Speaker 1>it is all right, now put it in your purse. George.

216
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>You know me, don't you? I mean you know me?

217
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.200
<v Speaker 6>Eh? I know you? O Haarah?

218
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Were you going to except Ramsgate's offer? I think that

219
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.639
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't have done you any good. Yang has a

220
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 1>price on your head right now, didn't you know?

221
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

222
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Ramsgate would have taken your money and turned you

223
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>over to Yang anyway.

224
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 10>And I thought that I'd be able to think of

225
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.600
<v Speaker 10>some scheme while Yang was on his way.

226
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>On his way, Yang's in Shanghai right now.

227
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 4>No.

228
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Look, now here's our opposition. One third apiece to each

229
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 1>of us, and I'll help you escape.

230
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 6>One third to.

231
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Each of us, one third to you. You better take it, George, well,

232
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.279
<v Speaker 1>but tomorrow morning, Yang will have blocked every exit from Shanghai.

233
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.519
<v Speaker 1>You could think of you need us, George, and you

234
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.919
<v Speaker 1>know I always fulfill my end of a contract.

235
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 6>Help me, help me? Please accept?

236
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, good y. Where's the money I wanted in my

237
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:40.879
<v Speaker 1>hand before I so much as make a move in

238
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>your favor.

239
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 10>It's not here in the hotel. I mean, it's in

240
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 10>a safe in my office in the rue. Let's go

241
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 10>after a George, Let's go after it.

242
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>We left the hotel Conte, I hailed a taxi and

243
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 1>George gave the driver the address. It was just past

244
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the dinner hour and the night traffic was thickening across

245
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the harbor. I could see the lights of the Pearl

246
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Orient. Tomorrow morning, I thought to myself. Tomorrow

247
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>morning I'd be on deck taking a last long look

248
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>at China the fortune of my pocket. Irene followed my

249
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>glance and then smiled up at me and squeezed my arm.

250
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been to France, Irene? Yes, you know

251
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the stretch along the coast of Normandy between off Floor

252
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 1>and Traville. No, I uh, I'd like to show it

253
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>to you sometime.

254
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.799
<v Speaker 7>I'd like to see it sometime good.

255
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 1>We got out at the shabby end of the Rue

256
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.639
<v Speaker 1>monteven Martel was trembling so violently that I had to

257
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:49.279
<v Speaker 1>take the key from his hand and open the door myself. Hazy, George,

258
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and I just take it easy.

259
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 6>I am in a bloody blue funk.

260
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we know the feeling, George. Now, where's the money.

261
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.320
<v Speaker 6>It's in the safe, small volie in the safe.

262
00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:58.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll get it.

263
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.799
<v Speaker 10>You really can get me out of Shanghai.

264
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Look at me, George, I really can cat I.

265
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 6>Right right, ah, nothing left.

266
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Speaker 1>You know there's a drink they drink in Normandy called Calvados,

267
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a brandy.

268
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 6>Did you have a tasted?

269
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:17.240
<v Speaker 7>No?

270
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Really, vast horizons will soon open for you. I think

271
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>there have you got it? You're out taking Now, where's

272
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the key? The bag's locked, I always carry it, O'Hara. Well,

273
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:39.639
<v Speaker 1>face at the window, the light, shoot, shoot, and I

274
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think I hit anything. Let's get back to the hotel.

275
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 1>The street was deserted as we left Martel's office. I

276
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>expected almost anything, but nothing happened, nothing at all except

277
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 1>that I slipped on the broken glass scattered about the sidewalk,

278
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>almost broke my neck. And we took a taxi back

279
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:07.919
<v Speaker 1>to the hotel. Conti. No, we won't go to your room, George,

280
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Irene will hold up in yours.

281
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 7>Do you think we're safe here?

282
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's relative. We're safer in the country than any

283
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 1>other place else in Shanghai. Not that that's saying much.

284
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Least we have an ally here, Papa Conte himself. Here

285
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you go, George. Thanks now, Irene, here's the money. Don't

286
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>let this valise out of your sight for a moment.

287
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Take the gun out of your personal you know how

288
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to handle it. Some sit down, George. Yeah, no, no,

289
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 1>not on the chair. Sit on the floor, facing the wall,

290
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and look, Irene, you've got a double job. Keep George

291
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and the money in and everyone else out. Understood or horror,

292
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 1>you're not going well, I have to arrange your exit.

293
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you expect me to do it by telegram? Or

294
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 1>that reminds me I'll need that fifteen hundreds of years

295
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.159
<v Speaker 1>again it How much do you weigh?

296
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 7>One hundred and eighteen?

297
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Hum delicious.

298
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 7>Here's the fifteen hundred you'll.

299
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Be repaid out of. George's under the cut going now,

300
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll be back in about oh three hours at the latest.

301
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Lock the door after me, I see you soon.

302
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.759
<v Speaker 7>Take care of yourself, O'Hara, right.

303
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Wish I can think of something entirely reassuring, But all

304
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I can come up with is this. I think we've

305
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>got a fifty to fifty chance of making it. They'll

306
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 1>tell you Shanghai is the coldest blooded, most cynical city

307
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.639
<v Speaker 1>in the world, as none of the charm of Paris,

308
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>or the comfort of London, or the youth of New York.

309
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>But as I made my roundabout way to the docks,

310
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:38.039
<v Speaker 1>past the food shops and the dens, and the coffin

311
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 1>makers and the hockey talk joints, I suddenly no longer

312
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 1>cared about that. I felt vaguely excited and eager for

313
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 1>the next moment. And then finally I found the man

314
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I was looking for after a tour of the bars.

315
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 1>He was a big bearded suite named Nelson, the owner

316
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>and captain of an old bum freighter, and after an

317
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>hour or so of negotiation, we had it straight. He'd

318
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 1>have a taxi driven by himself, parked near the alley

319
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 1>two blocks from the contee, ready to pick Martel up

320
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>at dawn and carry him to the ship fifteen hundred

321
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.519
<v Speaker 1>down and another fifteen thousand from Martel when he was

322
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.279
<v Speaker 1>safe on deck. And that was that. I was back

323
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:20.559
<v Speaker 1>at the hotel by two thirty Irene irene itt O'Hara,

324
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>irene Irene. I put my ear to the door and

325
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:31.159
<v Speaker 1>listened nothing. I grasped the knob to shake it, and

326
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the door swung open. The lights were on, and the

327
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 1>room looked as though a tornado had gone roaring through

328
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 1>bureau drawers open, clothes flung out, luggage slashed, and Martel

329
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.799
<v Speaker 1>lay upon the bed, staring at the ceiling, his face

330
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.080
<v Speaker 1>ripped badly, his hands and legs tied tightly. I walked

331
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>over and put my fingers to his neck. He was dead.

332
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.879
<v Speaker 1>The small valise lay next to him on the pillow

333
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 1>was open and empty. Made my way to the back room. Iren, ohharah,

334
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>turn off that water.

335
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 7>I was trying to stop the bleeding.

336
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Give me the towel and I come on in the

337
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.920
<v Speaker 1>other room. What's happened?

338
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.119
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. A couple of hours after you left,

339
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.519
<v Speaker 7>there was a light knock at the door, and a

340
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.839
<v Speaker 7>voice that sounded like yours said, open the door.

341
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, don't look.

342
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:17.720
<v Speaker 7>At me like that. It was time for you to

343
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.240
<v Speaker 7>be back. And I had the gun. I opened the

344
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.319
<v Speaker 7>door just a crack and suddenly I hand appeared and

345
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 7>it turned out the light him. That's all. When I

346
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 7>came to it was the way it is in there,

347
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:29.960
<v Speaker 7>and I had a bump on my head.

348
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>The money's gone, I know. Have any idea who did it?

349
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 6>No? None?

350
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 7>It could have been anybody.

351
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Could have been you. Ohharah, why not? You had the chance.

352
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.160
<v Speaker 1>And as you say, you had the gun, it could

353
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:39.440
<v Speaker 1>have been you.

354
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 7>Yes, and it could have been you, But I don't

355
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:41.480
<v Speaker 7>think it was.

356
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Connect me with mister Cotty. Please, oh harrah, Hello, Papacotty.

357
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.599
<v Speaker 1>Uh this o'harah? Look, will you come to missus Mallory's

358
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:52.359
<v Speaker 1>room immediately?

359
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 6>Please?

360
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

361
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:54.640
<v Speaker 7>What are you going to do?

362
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:55.240
<v Speaker 8>Well?

363
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to speak to Papacotta. He's probably the wisest

364
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.559
<v Speaker 1>man in Shanghai.

365
00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 7>Do you think I did it?

366
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say you did. I said it could have

367
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.880
<v Speaker 1>been you, and it could have too. But I want

368
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to talk to CONTI. There are things that bother me

369
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.480
<v Speaker 1>about the whole deal. I connected in some way with

370
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>slipping on the broken glass in front of George's office

371
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 1>and George being beaten to death. Now, why should anyone

372
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>have done that. The money was there and George was

373
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:21.279
<v Speaker 1>tied securely. Why beat him? And something about Georgie's having

374
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to depend on me for a getaway. I always considered

375
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>him a very cautious and careful man. He had the money,

376
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.839
<v Speaker 1>surely he would have planned his own escape long before I.

377
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 1>That's probably probably conty. I'll get it.

378
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 8>He desired.

379
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Come in, Papa.

380
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, mister O'Hara rams inside, Papa khanty. All clear, General.

381
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Ohara, Hello Yang your Ramsgate?

382
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.599
<v Speaker 6>Close the door, all right?

383
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 5>He see? If Ohara is a pleasure, I have it. General,

384
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 5>So the dog.

385
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Is dead and the bone is buried.

386
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh I will find the bone.

387
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, first you must find the other dog.

388
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps I'm looking at him.

389
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Try to prove it.

390
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.920
<v Speaker 4>If you do not kill Marteo, why have you not

391
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.799
<v Speaker 4>sent for the police?

392
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Shall I telephone them? Now?

393
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 6>Oharah, what would you.

394
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:31.519
<v Speaker 4>Do if you were in my position?

395
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'd search the luggage and personal property of all

396
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of those here. Then if I didn't find the money,

397
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 1>I'd question us, all of us, including Ramsgate. And if

398
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 1>I didn't find what I was looking for, I'd make

399
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>my apologies and look elsewhere.

400
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker 5>It is good advice or accept it.

401
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Kanty, you have a baggage truck in your garage, Go outside,

402
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:51.680
<v Speaker 4>give the keyto Sergeant Wong, and no tricks.

403
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 6>Conty.

404
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.920
<v Speaker 4>My men are at every entrance and every floor ramsgate. Yes, General,

405
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:58.920
<v Speaker 4>go it, County. Tell same food to take a squad

406
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:01.440
<v Speaker 4>of men. Pick all the bags belonging to missus Mallory

407
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.519
<v Speaker 4>and Papa Conti and George Martail. Bring it to my headquarters.

408
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Tell them to take all some more Tail's body.

409
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, General, come along, can't he?

410
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.039
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

411
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Harah, You and missus Mallory will come with me too,

412
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 4>to the pier of yin Lewin Company and suit your creek,

413
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:26.880
<v Speaker 4>and then to my Shanghai headquarters. The Lao Ping, a

414
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 4>sea going junkie lies in the anchorage.

415
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.200
<v Speaker 6>Come o'here, come.

416
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 1>It's almost four o'clock. How long do you intend to

417
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 1>keep us aboard? Yang?

418
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.559
<v Speaker 4>Their money is neither upon your person nor among your belongings.

419
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:54.279
<v Speaker 4>I must now persuade you to talk. Will you do

420
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 4>so willingly? And if we do not, I will turn

421
00:20:58.400 --> 00:20:59.599
<v Speaker 4>you over to my bodyguard.

422
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.960
<v Speaker 6>You have heard of them?

423
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Who hasn't?

424
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>What have you heard?

425
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I know something about your destiny being their destiny and

426
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.839
<v Speaker 1>their lives being your lives, and that they would do

427
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.720
<v Speaker 1>anything under heaven that you commanded.

428
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.799
<v Speaker 2>That is correct?

429
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 6>Will you talk where?

430
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Look, General, I know nothing of Martell's death or the

431
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>location of the money, as I've already told you.

432
00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:27.079
<v Speaker 7>Missus Marlery, I can't add anything to what I've already said,

433
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:27.720
<v Speaker 7>not can I?

434
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.000
<v Speaker 6>In myrtale has been silence, pity?

435
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>General? Aren't you going to ask Ramsgates?

436
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Ask me why? The General and I understand each other thoroughly?

437
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:40.279
<v Speaker 6>Don'try?

438
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:43.200
<v Speaker 2>General? It was I who told the General where to

439
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:45.119
<v Speaker 2>find you all, didn't I?

440
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:45.680
<v Speaker 8>General?

441
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 2>What could he possibly ask me?

442
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Now? During the past hour, I've thought of one or

443
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.440
<v Speaker 1>two things he might ask you? Yang, you've noticed the

444
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:53.720
<v Speaker 1>cuts on Martell's face?

445
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 6>I noticed them.

446
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Now have you noticed the cuts on mine? They are like?

447
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>And have your notice the ring Ramsgate.

448
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Wars General, Excellency, there's a conspiracy to injure me in

449
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:06.839
<v Speaker 2>your eyes?

450
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:12.599
<v Speaker 4>Let me see the ring. Let me see it, excellency,

451
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:15.920
<v Speaker 4>still flecked with blood.

452
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:22.319
<v Speaker 2>You kill a dog? Yes, yes, Excellency, I did, but

453
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:25.960
<v Speaker 2>only to avenge you, only to avenge.

454
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Where is the money?

455
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know? I swear, I don't you lie? No no.

456
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:30.799
<v Speaker 8>No.

457
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:33.839
<v Speaker 2>When I opened the volice the woman was guarding it,

458
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:41.960
<v Speaker 2>it was empty lies empty. No, General, General, don't touch.

459
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.119
<v Speaker 8>Me, don't touch me.

460
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:45.400
<v Speaker 1>God, he has a knife.

461
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, excellency, No, I didn't mean to.

462
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 6>No, don't shoot.

463
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, don't don't.

464
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:09.799
<v Speaker 8>Shoot one.

465
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.000
<v Speaker 4>One one chins are you O'Hara?

466
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:16.359
<v Speaker 7>What is he ordering him to do?

467
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Something about? Killing us? Yang? This is a thing I

468
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.599
<v Speaker 1>never expected to see a man of destiny stabbed by

469
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a fat fool while his bodyguard is loyal bodyguard of

470
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:31.279
<v Speaker 1>twelve stands by and watch us.

471
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 4>You'll find it the music Before I die, You and

472
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.400
<v Speaker 4>your friends will be dead. Can you laugh at that?

473
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 6>Also?

474
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps, but not as much as all. China will laugh

475
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.519
<v Speaker 1>at Yang's loss of face. China will laugh for centuries

476
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 1>to come at the story of how Yang was killed

477
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:49.640
<v Speaker 1>while his devoted bodyguard lived.

478
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:53.359
<v Speaker 4>China will not laugh at Yang. My body God will

479
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.960
<v Speaker 4>not live. They will have shot one another at whose command,

480
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 4>at my command?

481
00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>It will be there.

482
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 4>We'll also they have lost face too, and unbearably can

483
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:05.079
<v Speaker 4>they continue to live?

484
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:07.680
<v Speaker 1>No one will believe that your body God foolish enough

485
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:09.559
<v Speaker 1>to let you be stabbed, would a bear a command

486
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 1>to kill themselves. H your name will be a laughing stock. No,

487
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.240
<v Speaker 1>they will joke about you in the tea houses. No,

488
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>your sons will die of shame. No, and why because

489
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.519
<v Speaker 1>twelve dead fools with rifles in their hands will be

490
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker 1>all that you have to speak for you?

491
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 6>You lie? You lie?

492
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I will sure you what dick ming.

493
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.240
<v Speaker 8>Quite not? You quiet?

494
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:35.079
<v Speaker 4>Where you qua see how they line up facing each other,

495
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:36.079
<v Speaker 4>six or six.

496
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.680
<v Speaker 1>They face each other, But they do not aim at each.

497
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.720
<v Speaker 8>Other, mayn't yeh?

498
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:43.799
<v Speaker 4>Do you see how they take aim at each other?

499
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.519
<v Speaker 1>They take aim at each other, Yang, but they do

500
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 1>not fire.

501
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.720
<v Speaker 4>They will they will win, not command. Now watch and

502
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.880
<v Speaker 4>you will see a thing to make you marvel, to

503
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:01.559
<v Speaker 4>marvel again whenever you remember, Yang, God, Papa.

504
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:08.920
<v Speaker 8>Was Yang not right?

505
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 6>Was he not right?

506
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 8>Well?

507
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 6>This I said?

508
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Good bye Papa, County, good bye General.

509
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 9>Then much good luck? And do you want so, missus.

510
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:38.319
<v Speaker 7>Mallory, thank you, Papa Candy. I'll send you a piece

511
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:39.000
<v Speaker 7>of the wedding cake.

512
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Do that. Thanks for everything. I I'll repay you the

513
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>loan as soon as I can.

514
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 9>Of course, of course, in general, missus Mallory, could you

515
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 9>stand there have a bitter joke upon yourselves what's that

516
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:55.920
<v Speaker 9>about the money you two sold? A letter came for

517
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 9>George Mattel this morning. It is from a brokerage firm

518
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 9>here in Shanghai. It says, Dear George, this is to

519
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.759
<v Speaker 9>confirm our conversation of this morning. Unless you can raise

520
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 9>forty thousand dollars additional margin, we will be forced to

521
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.000
<v Speaker 9>sell you out. We regret doing this to so good

522
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.039
<v Speaker 9>a customer, especially in the light of the half million

523
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.920
<v Speaker 9>dollar loss you suffered these last two months. But business

524
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.400
<v Speaker 9>is sincelio, you understand h Yes.

525
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I thought it might be something like that. That's

526
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.279
<v Speaker 1>why he didn't arrange for his own escape. Each day

527
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 1>he expected to recop.

528
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 7>His losses, and he checked us in his office on

529
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 7>the room monte An. He didn't want us to learn

530
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.319
<v Speaker 7>the volice was empty, and so we pretended to have

531
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 7>seen that face at the window.

532
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.599
<v Speaker 1>That's right. And then when we put out the lights,

533
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 1>he must have thrown something through the glass, a paperwaight

534
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to the like. That's what puzzled me about a broken

535
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:48.759
<v Speaker 1>glass that was on the sidewalk and not in the room.

536
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 2>It was also why Ramsgate killed him. He couldn't make

537
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 2>a Rumskate believe his story.

538
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Papa, can't he may I have the letter I get

539
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 1>for a souvenir, But of course thank you well.

540
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 6>I wave to you from the show.

541
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.039
<v Speaker 1>Goodbye, goodbye, Papa.

542
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 7>No regrets, Oharah regrets.

543
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>None, No regrets for the past, and no doubts for

544
