When you walk down the road,

heavy burden, heavy load, I

will rise and I will walk with you.

I'll walk with you till the sun don't
even shine.

Walk with you every time.

I tell you, I'll walk with you.

Believe me, I'll walk with you.

There are many, many things that have
brought you and your husband to this

moment, Jean.

Don't waste a minute now asking why or
how.

Hurry. You don't have much time.

What is going on?

What do you mean we got five minutes?
And correct me here, but I thought they

stopped using prison labor on export, do
you?

They have.

It officially does not happen.

It was a mistake.

A mistake that can last only a little
longer.

Thank you.

Sorry. Your dog is leaving.

No. I can't lose you again. You've never
lost me.

We've always loved you.

我们一直是一个人。 张磊, 我活不了太久了。

你听我说, 永远不要忘记,

自由要用牺牲来换。

我是为了中国而已, 可是,

我是为了你。

Edward,

keep quiet.

We have made a terrible mistake.

Someone from my office shall be punished
for this confusion.

Jean, please.

Let us all go to the car immediately.

Yeah. Good idea.

Chinese dissonance.

Missing children.

Tiananmen Square.

My God, Edward, have you lost your mind?

This is your business you're screwing
with here. Your livelihood.

My livelihood.

I realize that, Alex.

Edward.

We've been friends for... 20 years, and
you do this to me, and for her?

Her name is Jean.

Well, you put us all in danger. I mean,
they could throw us out. They could lock

us up.

I mean, the whole world is trying to get
these people out, and we bring one back

in?

Now, there's an idea.

Maybe we could contact one of those
human rights organizations.

We might be able to help us get Gus out.

Us? Us?

If that general guy looked at her, he
knows there's something screwing.

They're going to find out who she is.
They're going to figure out how she got

here. And then we are cooked.

Mr. Stella, it seems to me if you can't
find a place in your heart for what

happened today, if you can't see that no
business deal is more important than a

human life or a restored family, if none
of this means anything to you, then it

seems to me that you are already cooked.

Lady, you're fired.

No.

Edward,

please.

Mr. Stella is right.

To try to help my husband now would only
endanger his life.

And yours as well.

God is too sick to survive the anger of
the state.

It is best to continue our work and
forget this, Stella.

But what about your daughter?

You must be patient.

I have found George.

He has found my husband.

When it is time, when it is safe,
perhaps he will tell me where she is,

And we'll stay.

All of us.

Thank you all very much.

You've made an exceptionally impressive
presentation, and we will seriously

consider your offer.

Oh,

tell them, thank you for lunch and those
crunchy things.

Just tell them goodbye.

Thank you.

Okay, okay, we are on a roll.

I think those are our guys. I thought
Liberty Moon's presentation was better

organized and more generous.

Uh -huh. Thanks to our friend. No,
forget it.

No way, Jose.

I'm going for a nap.

Right on.

Thank you.

I have a New York newspaper here in case
anybody wants to read it.

It's terrific. Thanks.

Too bad Liberty Moon's a solid company.

Yeah. George knew he blew his chances
with us when he took us to the labor

There's no way he could get in business
with us now without sending up a huge

red flag.

Did he give you any hint about what
happened to Piao Hui?

Not yet.

But I have hope.

He must know where she is.

It depends here.

Sometimes it's safer to know nothing.

Monica.

The official Chinese news agency
acknowledged that Zhang Xiaodong, long

considered a victim of Tiananmen
Square's 1989 three -day massacre, in

spent most of the last nine years in
prison.

The government also reports that Zhang
renounced his participation in the

democracy movement before dying of
natural causes.

He was 35.

The clerk said the Hong Kong papers
weren't delivered today.

And now we know why they were probably
carrying this story.

It's not a true story.

God will never have to see those things.

Can't tell those lies.

I won't let them.

Nobody's going to believe it.

You know he was dying.

He told me never to forget what he was
dying for.

forgotten. Until I saw his face one last
time.

I could all come back.

It was a miracle.

Lux. Edward, don't, don't get up. Some
soldiers just came to my room. I don't

know what they were saying, but I think
it's about Jean.

They had some old picture of her.

Jean, stand up slowly.

And walk towards me, Edward.

Keep talking to Alex.

Why won't you tell me?

Monica, I have watched many political
prisoners in China die of natural

There's nothing natural about it.

Gus died terribly and painfully.

And to describe it actually hurts my
spirit.

You stayed with him? Of course I did.

And he died with hope. And we're going
to keep that hope alive, but first we've

got to find Gene.

You don't know where Thea is?

No.

Because we're not the ones who's
supposed to find her.

Come in.

Hello.

You know, when I was in seventh grade, I
remember this chapter from my geography

book. China.

Land of contrast.

Man, what they don't teach you in
school, huh?

What are you doing?

Alex was right. We don't belong here.

There's a flight out at eight if you're
interested.

What are you afraid of?

Oh, I don't know.

My business going down the tubes?

Imprisonment? Torture?

How's that for starters?

I think you're afraid of getting truly
involved of anything besides the bottom

line. Listen, I'm on to you.

I know what you're up to. I don't know
how it happened exactly, but you're no

trade consultant. You're a political
activist and you used me.

That's not why you're angry with me,
Edward.

You're angry because I asked you to let
your soul fly and you didn't. Look what

happened.

All of a sudden, that labor pool of 1 .2
billion Chinese faces, which all looked

alike to you, became one beautiful
individual whose life mattered to you.

And you're so terrified of losing her
before you understand why.

Edward, you can't leave now.

This is what your soul was made for.

I'm no hero, Monica. I'm the wrong guy
to save her.

Maybe she's going to save you.

I don't know, Monica. I thought there
might be a chance.

This is her house.

Do you follow?

No, we were very careful.

You shouldn't stay.

They'll find you, too.

We can't leave.

Not without you.

How can we help you?

Come on.

Mr.

Tanner, I was unaware that we had an
appointment.

Game's over, George.

You're going to stand there and tell
this woman you know who she is and where

her daughter is.

My wife is a state official.

She doesn't know anything about my past.
I never told her about Tiana.

Mr. Wu, no one wants to endanger you or
your family.

But please.

Please, don't tell us that you don't
know Jean.

You arranged for her to see her husband.

You've already taken risks to help her.
Now help us to get to the truth.

You actually believe the truth will make
any difference?

The truth is the difference.

No.

The truth only makes reality a lot
harder to live with.

The truth is that Jean and Gus were my
friends.

Reality is that it is still dangerous to
admit that.

The truth is that democracy is a
wonderful dream.

Reality is that most of us don't want
democracy as much as we just want

stability.

The truth is that China is not what it
could be.

Reality is at least it's not what it
used to be.

The truth gets you killed.

Reality keeps you alive.

So I ask you what you want from me.
Truth or reality?

I want my daughter.

My neighbor told me Gus had been shot
and was dead.

And you were arrested.

So I went into hiding. I took the baby
with me.

I made it to the south. I found a family
there who could take her in.

Take care of her until I got back.

Where's this family now?

There are sometimes terrible floods in
the south.

Thousands of people died that year.

I tried to find the family, but they
were gone.

There is a chance, of course, that she
survived or that they moved on.

But I'm afraid I just don't know where
she is.

I'm so sorry.

I named my company Liberty Moon in the
hope that someday P .L .U. might grow up

and recognize it and inquire.

With a slim chance, but our hopes are
hung on slimmer ones than these

For example, I never imagined it would
be Jean who would find me this way.

How long have you known about God?

About a year.

I only hope that seeing him gave you
some peace.

It gave me more than that, George.

When I saw his face, I remembered who I
am.

And I was no longer afraid.

Tell me, George.

What will you have to see before you are
no longer afraid?

She is in this country illegally.

She's a dissident who has gone
unpunished.

She's been recognized, and I'm sure they
want to find her before she makes any

trouble.

What kind of trouble?

She spoke to her husband before he died.

She knows the truth and the reality.

Maybe he left a message.

Alex, have you seen Jean?

Well, what with her being a fugitive and
all, I wasn't expecting her. Alex,

please, was she here?

I think I saw her walk out.

Mr.

Tanner, the lady who was not here, she
left a message.

Edward, thank you for all you have done.

Please thank Monica as well.

It is possible we will not see each
other again.

You see, George was right.

Reality is the safest route.

But I have nothing left to lose now.

And so I have the luxury of living in
the truth.

I'm going to make sure the world knows
the truth about my husband.

You are a kind man, Edward.

I hope someday you will find peace in
your own truth.

Where was the last place she lived in
truth?

Behind me is one of the government
buildings of the People's Republic of

If you look the other direction, you'll
see the view most widely associated with

Tiananmen Square, the Gate of Heavenly
Peace.

We'll first make our way to the Great
Hall of the People.

Please begin walking in that direction.

Thank you. Thank you.

He's a Chinese citizen.

Funny.

Good, that's done her. You know, once in
my life, if I ever had the urge to grab

a microphone and stand up in the middle
of Times Square and speak my mind about

anything, all of a sudden it's nice to
know I can if I want to.

Okay, so going to the embassy is out and
obviously going to the police is out.

I get every last dime I have to get her
out.

I don't believe money is the answer,
Edward.

But love, love can move mountains.

I'm not that love type.

I mean, she's... She's special.

Yes, she is.

I know what being in love is like.

But this is something else. It's deeper.

Like what?

Like when we were there at the factory
and I realized her husband was still

alive. I felt something I've never felt
before.

It wasn't jealousy.

A sincere happiness.

For her.

I'm happy for you, Edward.

A love like that can nourish your soul.

The one I love?

Ah, the one you're finding again.

Maybe the wrong time to mention this,
but, um... Do you remember the game

What game plan was that, Al?

Long term or the short term?

The one about turning the long term into
the very short term.

When we agreed on Back of the Purple
Pup. Our senior year.

The let's play the game hard for 20
years.

Go to business school.

Buy, divide, conquer, and retire before
we're 42 with more money than God.

And time left to enjoy it.

That game plan.

Yeah, I remember that one.

So? So, are we still playing?

I don't know.

Well, you damn well better find out.

Because you were risking everything for
some woman you've known for a couple of

weeks. She's not some woman, Al. She's
a... Friend.

Oh, and I'm not?

Please, explain this to me, because for
the last...

20 years, I've been going around
thinking that we were friends.

Well, maybe we're just two guys trying
to help each other make a lot of money.

You got a problem with that?

Yeah, I do now.

I met somebody who was trying to help me
become a better person.

Trying to help me become something
higher.

Okay.

Okay.

I thought that we were in business
together, but apparently now it's group

therapy.

So, just tell me what you want. I mean,
what are you thinking here?

I don't want to build a plant in China,
Alex.

I don't want to run into Jean while
she's being re -educated, stamping made

China on one of our action figures.

I want out of this country. I want her
out, too.

That's what I'm thinking.

I'll go back to New York, hold down the
fort, and you do whatever it is you have

to do here.

I appreciate that.

Remember her?

She told me her friend once.

I need you to be her friend now.

And what?

Help her.

Find her a good lawyer.

Get her out on bail.

I can't begin to educate you on the
ignorance of that statement.

Tell me what I need to know to get her
out of there.

Please.

I'm going to try to explain something to
you.

Most everyone who was arrested for
participating in Tiananmen Square served

three years.

Some, like Gus, were rearrested before
they even hit the street.

Others discovered they could not get
jobs anymore or go anywhere without

followed.

Those who got out and made it to the
States stayed out.

Now here comes Jean, daring them to do
something about her.

forcing them to deal with her.

She's tying herself to the stake and
lighting the match.

Did she ever tell you why her nickname
was Jean?

No. It's French for Joan of Arc.

She knew exactly what she was doing.

She can be more trouble to the Chinese
in prison than she can be out.

She knows that once she's in there,
she'll become a martyr.

So they can't leave her out and they
can't keep her in.

The sooner it hits the news, the safer
she will be.

Once the world knows she exists, they
have to keep her alive.

What are you saying?

I'm saying it will all happen very fast.

If it is not happening already.

She'll go on trial.

It'll last maybe only a matter of
minutes. She'll be found guilty.

We'll put her back in her cell and leave
her there in the dark for years until

she becomes sick.

And when the fever's high or the teeth
become infected, she won't get medical

treatment.

Or maybe she'll slip on the floor during
interrogation and die of cerebral

hemorrhage and seven broken ribs. Or
maybe some common criminals will

get the urge to beat her to death in
exchange for a shorter sentence.

Why are you so angry with her?

I thought you considered us inscrutable.

She just doesn't understand how it
works.

No, perhaps she does.

She just can't accept it. That's what
bothers me about her. That's what I love

about her.

Trial's over.

What?

Ten years.

Well, it's a very unusual request.

It's not as if it's never been done
before, though.

Quite an act of sacrifice.

It's not a sacrifice.

It's a privilege.

Tess, you said when this started, it was
about people being given a chance to

make a difference.

Well, this is my chance, and I want to
take it.

But we don't know how long it could
take.

Maybe even the whole ten years.

No.

Not that long.

Hello, Jean.

How did you get here?

Not the way that you did.

I don't understand.

You did a very brave thing the other
day.

Standing up and telling the truth.

Defending your husband and your belief.

She is alive.

I know.

A minute longer, I would have seen her
before I spoke out.

And I could be holding her right now.

Right now.

You couldn't have known, Jean.

You did what you knew you had to do.

And then a wonderful miracle occurred.

Because God granted you the grace to
look into the face of your little girl

before you were taken away.

There's no God in China.

Yes, there is.

He loves you very much.

He sent me here to be with you, to stay
with you, and to encourage you until...

I am an angel, Jean.

Good.

You're not supposed to be an elf in the
orphanage.

I used to think that I had an angel
watching over me.

You did.

You do.

You could say I volunteered.

I admire you so much, Christine.

Your courage and your passion.

And I believe I have as much to learn
from you as you do from me.

What do I need to learn?

There's no one left to trust now except
your creator.

Am I going to die?

Yes.

Are you going to stay here with me?

Yes. Through everything.

Through everything.

I want to help you die with the same
courage that you have lived with.

Then...

and change even one person's life, then
I have made a difference.

You've made a difference in Edward's
life?

He cares about you very much.

I care for him, too.

I would like to have told him that.

Run. I'm scared.

Say something.

Say something about God. It's all right,
Jean. I'm with you.

When you pass through the river, I will
be with you.

When you walk through the water, they
will not overtake you.

When you walk through the fire, you will
not be burned.

Jean. What's going on?

Monica. Listen to me very carefully.

She had a kite with a moon and a torch.

She knows who she is. I believe that.

Jean, listen.

Tell her how much I loved her.

Promise.

She's the daughter of a poet.

Tell her the truth.

She'll know what to do with it.

Say it.

I promise.

I will tell her the truth.

She will know what to do with it.

If you don't do it, I'll kill him.

He's still alive.

We must protect him.

Get out of here.

Jean. Yes.

I promise.

Tell me.

On this side, there is life.

And there, with him, there is life also.

And it is there you shall behold him.

Faith to faith.

Gene.

Edward. What are you doing here?

Where have you been?

How did you get in here?

Edward, there's something I need to tell
you.

Jean fell down a flight of stairs today.

She fell down a flight of stairs?

How do you know?

I was there.

Don't be afraid, Edward.

I'm an angel.

This isn't true. I'm dreaming.

No, it's all true.

I am an angel.

And God sent me to be with you and Jean
on this very difficult, this very long

journey.

Jean's journey is over now and she's at
peace.

We spent many hours talking about God
and his love for her and for

you.

God loves you very much, Edward.

Before she died, Jean wanted you to know
that she cared about you very much.

That you had a chance to make a
difference in her life.

And you took that.

I'm not hurt.

I know.

And I know that your heart is broken.

But God will mend it if you trust him
with it now.

Will you?

I'm here.

I just

heard.

How long will it last, this childhood of
looting me?

What must we do to save China?

Save China?

We could not even save Jean.

Do you remember the last thing she said
to you?

What will you have to see before you're
no longer afraid?

What will you have to see?

I do not know.

How about a little girl's face?

So that's it?

No chance?

No, it is impossible.

Even with a bribe, we cannot tour all
the orphanages in the area.

You know, there's a very good chance
that Jean -Claire was adopted, and she's

not in an orphanage at all.

I don't think so, George.

I don't think God would have brought me
all this way to find a little girl who

doesn't need to be found.

I've been considering a belief in God.
It's a good idea.

I just have trouble believing things I
cannot see.

What about the wind?

And the air?

You can't see them, but you know they're
there.

I know where I can get some paint.

Ni hao.

You speak English?

Yes, I do.

Hi.

My name's Edward.

What's your name?

My name is Piao Ye.

You know what that means in English?

Yeah.

Tattoo of Liberty.

It has been a pleasure, Mr. Tanner.

You learn much in only one month.

Yes, I have.

Thanks again.

Well, we're all set.

My wife has pulled some strings.

Of course she has. And the adoption
papers will be finalized six months

than expected.

She'll be out of the orphanage and home
with us by June.

Maybe this means summer camp in Maine,
huh?

Every summer.

You promised.

Yes, I did.

You think a girl with a chance to live
in America all year long would have

it?

I just told her the truth.

She knew what to do with it.

Listen, I want you to work hard on your
English, okay?

When you come see me next summer, maybe
you can tell me what this is.

Goodbye, everybody.

Goodbye.

Mr. Tanner.

Zaijian. Zaijian, Mr. Wu.

Bye -bye.

So, am I ever going to see you again?

I don't think so.

I thought you might like to have this.

How on earth did you... It was lost, but
now it's found.

God is very good at that.

You okay?

Come on, angel girl.

Let's go home.
