I see the train isn't leaving on time. - That is right, sir.

We are waiting for a distinguished passenger.

General Chow Fu-Shan. - Well, I'm Gordon Creed.

I have a reservation in Coach 3 Compartment 7.

Sorry, sir.

Compartment 7 has been taken for General Chow Fu-Shan.

The entire compartment. - But I have paid for the reservation.

I cannot help it, sir. This is a government order.

Can't you find me a seat somewhere? - Not in first class.

There might be something in second.

I'm not in the habit of travelling in second. I insist you find a seat for me.

I will do my best, sir.

Gordon.

I've been looking for you.

Harry. What you doing here? Anything wrong?

No. Lucky they held the train or I'd have missed you.

What's up?

This letter came after you left the office.

A confidential report on the Jim Hallet oil project.

The discovery field is worth millions. But Hallet's broke. He can't operate it.

I'll check up on it when I get there.

The situation is made to order for us.

Hallet needs cash. I stopped at the bank and got..

Fifty thousand.

A good idea. I'll make him an offer for a quarter interest.

Just enough to keep operations going.

Good luck. - Good luck to both of us.

That is General Fu-Shan.

That's the fellow that grabbed my reservation.

Pardon, Your Excellency.

May we have your honorable permission to depart?

We will leave immediately.

I wonder why he's going north.

I don't know. There must be trouble brewing.

Hurry, father. That's the starting signal.

You're sure it's the train going north? - Of course it is. Come on.

Did you find a seat for me?

Sorry, sir. Every seat is taken.

Alright then. I'll sit in Number 7.

Impossible. This is the compartment of General Chow Fu-Shan.

What of it? He can't use all those seats.

Besides, I paid for one of them. - Sorry, sir. Nothing can be done.

Look.

Just a moment please.

Did this gentlemen reserve a seat in my compartment?

Yes, Excellency.

You shall have it. - But Excellency..

The matter is settled.

I don't like to intrude, General. But..

Nonsense.

You are very kind. - Come in.

Please sit down. - Thank you.

I am Gordon Creed of the International Oil Company.

I leave the train in the morning at Teng Fu.

I dare say we shall not disturb each other.

I will have my dinner brought to me presently.

And, after my dinner.

I shall sleep very sound.

What time do we arrive at Teng Fu? - At seven in the morning.

Will the train be on time?

He'll be satisfied if it's on the track.

Can you arrange for overland transportation from that point?

Yes, sir. Pack trains and guides may be engaged at Teng Fu.

Are you going far? - As far as San Husan.

To an oilfield back in the hills.

What time is dinner served in the restaurant car?

The service will be late tonight.

General Chow Fu-Shan is on the train and he might dine first.

Why first?

I hope he doesn't go on a sit-down strike in there.

I am hungry.

I see the rebel army of Genera Wu Yen Fang occupied Ku Chow yesterday.

Fang calls himself the 'White tiger of the north'.

Fang is a plague of locusts to the north.

Like the locust.

He can only be fought with fire.

Fang's days are numbered.

Good evening. - Good evening.

Steward.

I know the gentleman who just entered.

Ask him if he'd care to sit here.

Who is he?

Gordon Creed of International oil.

I want to find out where he's going. So be nice to him.

That won't be difficult.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

How are you Mr Galt? - Fine, thank you.

This is my daughter Lola.

Mr Gordon Creed, my dear. - How do you do?

Thank you.

I had resigned myself to a dull evening on a very bad train.

But I see that fate has been very kind to me.

Travelling far, Mr Creed?

I'll be leaving the train in the morning at Teng Fu.

Teng Fu?

That's a coincidence.

That's where we're going. - Really?

Yes.

I suppose you will be travelling by mule train?

Of course.

Good. Then we can all travel together.

How nice.

How far north are you going, Mr Creed?

To San Husan.

Why are you laughing?

That's where we're going.

You wouldn't by chance be on your way to make a deal with Jim Hallet, would you?

Jim Hallet?

Yes. Hallet's discovery oilfield is near San Husan.

I'm going to see my wife.

She's an apprentice missionary in the medical mission in San Husan.

Oh? You have a wife?

Yes.

We've been separated for years.

That's the reason for my journey.

You aren't by any chance going to see Jim Hallet, are you Mr Galt?

May I have your order please? - What?

Yes. Of course. Sure.

I'm travelling in distinguished company.

I share a compartment with a very famous general.

How thrilling. Will you introduce us? - Of course.

He is sound asleep. - We'd better not disturb him.

Not quite sound asleep, young lady.

But I expect to be very soon.

I'm sorry we troubled you, General. - Please do not think of it.

My friends wanted to meet you.

This is Miss Galt. Her father, Mr Myron Galt of Peking.

General Chow Fu-Shan.

How do you do, General? - Delighted.

Won't you come in?

I'm afraid you'd rather finish your nap.

Please come in.

I always sleep much better when I have company.

I hope you intend that as a compliment, General.

A very great compliment.

I only sleep in the presence of those I trust.

But surely you are safe with so many soldiers to guard you?

Soldiers are a calamity.

I trust them only when my eyes are open.

And I need rest badly.

I have much work to do.

Please make yourselves comfortable.

I am very much at peace.

Have a cigarette? - Thanks.

Mr Galt? - Thank you.

Doesn't he sound a little flat to you? - Shush.

How long have you known Jim Hallet?

Not too long.

Why don't you two stop fencing with each other?

It's quite evident you're both interested in the discovery oilfield.

I'm sure that Mr Creed will be delighted to know that my father owns it.

How do you mean? - I will own it when I take possession.

You see, I loaned Jim the money to buy the property and develop it.

Now his note is overdue. He'll have to give it up.

Unless he finds the money to pay for it. - He won't find it.

I wouldn't be too sure about that, Mr Galt.

Good heavens. What's wrong now? - Nothing serious, Miss Galt.

Probably a short circuit. - Nothing to worry about.

Those men were just as worried as I was. Anything can happen in China.

It didn't seem to annoy General Fu-Shan.

He slept right through our little excitement.

Look. He's not breathing.

Something did happen. I know it.

General Fu-Shan.

General.

General Fu-Shan.

The knife of the white tiger.

The spies of General Wu Yen Fang.

You're sure that while you were in the compartment with General Chow Fu-Shan.

No-one else entered there? And that he was killed with this knife.

Yet, you insist you know nothing of how he was killed?

General, surely you don't suspect us of killing him?

That is ridiculous.

General Ma is not accusing you.

He is seeking information which will lead us to the killers.

Information which you have so far refused to give.

But we've told you everything we know.

You say you know nothing. - That is not possible.

The man was killed before your eyes.

He wasn't killed before our eyes. He was killed in the dark.

The lights went out for a moment.

We had nothing against the general. We didn't even know him.

Why should we kill General Chow Fu-Shan?

That's exactly what I'm trying to find out.

He was on his way to fight Wu Yen Fang.

Fang has foreign spies in his employ.

But we are not spies. You've no right to keep us here any longer.

You are now in the military province of Chow Fu-Shan.

As the military governor of this province.

It is my right to execute you if I suspect you.

Execute us?

Unless you tell me what you know.

I shall order you before a firing squad at once.

Sorry to have caused you big trouble.

We have found the murderer.

I'm certainly glad you found him.

What are they going to do with him?

They are going to bury him.

How you doing, dad?

Not too well. This horse makes me seasick.

I wish I had a bottle of smelling salts.

You're not going to faint?

No. But I'm afraid that mule is.

It's Jim Hallet.

Hello. - Hello Jim.

I knew this was a white man mule train. I had no idea I'd find you people in it.

How are you, Lola? You're looking fit. - So are you, Jim.

Mr Galt. How are you? - I could be better.

You know Creed of International Oil?

I met you at the Shenti club in Peking.

That's right. Glad to see you, Hallet.

You shouldn't have come. Didn't you know there's fighting in this province?

We had no idea until we reached Teng Fu.

We were held there for days by a military investigation.

General Fu-Shan was assassinated on the train.

We were there when it happened.

So Fang has knocked off another enemy.

It's his army that's fighting in this province now.

We must get to the medical mission as soon as we can.

Come along.

If you need more capital to operate your oil-wells we might make a deal.

Capital is the one thing I need most.

I'm prepared to make you a cash offer. When can I look at the property?

As soon as the war is over. - The war?

Right now, my oilfields are completely overrun by Fang's bandits.

I don't think my company would be interested.

No? I didn't think so either.

Excuse me.

You feeling tired? - We'll be glad to get there.

Jim. Why haven't I heard from you? - I was going to Peking to see you.

Broke again, Jim? - Completely.

Don't forget that your first note is already overdue.

I know it.

Is that the town? - Yep.

That is San Husan.

How do you do, Doctor? Gordon Creed. - How do you do?

This is Miss Galt. - How do you do?

Mr Galt - Dr. Abernathy. - How do you do, Doctor?

Friends, I welcome you all to the mission.

I think these four walls won't be much protection against Fang and his forces.

Fang is a bloodthirsty devil.

I've been laughing at devils all my life.

Come with me and I'll show you where you're to sleep.

The rooms may not be comfortable but they'll be clean.

At least there will be no vermin in them.

Not until the bandits get here. - That's a jolly thought.

Get Captain Nui ride to the village.

Say.. General Wu Yen Fang has come.

All who oppose Wu Yen Fang will be fixed.

Most danged quick. - Yes, Excellency.

Fang has best army in China. - Yes, Excellency.

The ponies don't amount to much but I hate to have Fang get them.

Hide them out some place. - Yes, sir.

Jim.

Jane.

Why weren't you in the welcoming committee?

You know your husband, the eminent Mr Creed, is here?

Yes, I saw him.

He came to see me.

About my oil properties.

Does he know you're in the mission? - His attorneys do. They wrote me here.

I'm glad he came.

Now you can tell him you'll divorce him and marry me.

No I can't. Jim. We settled that before. - You thought we did.

Here comes your husband now.

Well. How nice, Jane. This is a pleasant surprise.

You knew I was here.

I didn't know what a thrill it would be to see you again.

Shouldn't I kiss you? - I don't think that's necessary.

Why didn't you tell me you knew my wife, Hallet?

I didn't think that was necessary either.

When did you meet her? Before our separation or after?

After.

Attractive, isn't she?

So you are a missionary.

A young gospeller.

Harvesting souls in the village.

Well.

Is Jim your first convert? - Yes. I am converted.

But I'm still sinner enough to take a poke at guys who kid me about it.

I wouldn't try that, Jim.

What is it, Jim? - Fang's advance guard.

I'm afraid this is it, gentlemen.

Better go in, Mrs Creed. And reassure our patients.

Yes, Doctor.

What do you do about it?

Let them in. There's nothing else we can do.

We have some men here. Why not try to defend the place?

You cannot fight China, Mr Creed. Let's go in the house.

He wants us to go in the house. Please obey him.

Come. Better keep away from this window.

I'm Mrs Creed.

Try not to act afraid. We must not lose face before them.

He wants you to line up here. Please do as he tells you.

What does he want? - Your wristwatch. Give it to him.

It cost 200 dollars.

Please give it to him.

Don't touch me. - Don't do that.

I'm not afraid of him.

It's not a question of fear, child. I know these people.

The man is simply curious about you. He won't hurt you.

What did he say about me?

He gave you a name. That's all. 'Small Dragon'.

Tell him I have a name for him too.

He says General Fang has ordered that we are not to be harmed for the time being.

Isn't that sweet of the general?

Please, Jim.

He wants you to go with the soldiers.

Doctor, what will they do to him?

How you do? I am Fang.

I speak most danged bad English.

I think I make you understand.

We understand, General. We are your prisoners.

No. I am your guest.

But please not to leave the town.

It is not nice to make Fang mad.

The missionary is who? - I am Dr. Abernathy.

I have heard of you.

You bring to the poor of China not only a new God.

But cure for pain.

These people missionaries too?

Mrs Creed is my assistant.

The others are my guests. Americans.

A wonderful great country.

Our Mr Cheng has learned how to fix people in America.

He is bodyguard to most excellent big-shot.

He learns to take people for robbing.

A Chinese gangster.

One of the best.

Now Mr Cheng fixes people for me.

Only two women.

Too bad.

This one not so good.

What's the matter with me?

Hair like straw.

Eye like frog.

Have wide mouth of fish.

Well, you're no geranium yourself.

Please, Miss Galt. Be careful. - Not yet, Mr Cheng.

By-and-by we fix maybe. Not yet.

I hungry. - You shall be served, Excellency.

No can eat your food. Have cooks of my own.

My boys fix this room for me.

Please to leave.

Get out.

Get out.

Ganbei.

Tell the lady what that means, Mr Cheng.

Ganbei means 'bottoms up'.

I drink to you always.

Bottoms up.

Tell the lady about me, Mr Cheng.

Captain Nui said you wanted me.

Captain Nui is right.

Very nice.

I like. Come. We take walk.

Come.

How old you are? - Twenty-three.

Too bad.

How much you..

How you say that, Mr Cheng? - How much do you weigh?

Yes.

How much you weigh?

I don't think it's any of your business. - Alright. I not care.

What name you got? - Jane Creed.

Jane.

No can say.

I give more better name maybe by-and-by.

How you like go campaign with me?

You wouldn't want me. I am married. - Alright. We not take your husband.

We have beautiful, swell..

How you say that, Mr Cheng? - 'A beautiful, swell time'.

You come with me. I give you beautiful, swell time.

Be great happiness for you.

Not so danged bad for me too.

Well, what do you say?

You know, if I want. It is easy to take you.

You would not dare do that. - Oh yes.

I am the most danged daring man in China.

Why you not want to go with me?

Is it I am too..

Too.

How you say, Mr Cheng? - 'Tough guy'.

Too tough guy?

You've killed thousands of people.

Too many people in China.

I kill only men. Only bad ones.

When I kill bad men I feel good.

I have done good deed.

Who decides if a man is good or bad? - I do.

I am Fang.

You go now.

You go too, Mr Cheng.

We must not be disturbed. Anyone come, you fix it.

Please to sit?

East meet West.

How you do?

Very nice.

Tell General Fang we would like to speak to him at once.

You savvy?

It isn't necessary to speak pidgin English.

I speak the language quite as fluently as you do.

You tell General Fang I must see him at once.

Impossible.

The General is entertaining Mrs Creed.

I would advise you to move on.

Please.

You heard what he said. Are you going to do anything about it?

An unfortunate situation.

Very unfortunate for Mrs Creed.

There's nothing I can do. - What about you?

Of course, I feel sorry for Jane.

But I cannot fight an entire army.

It's too bad they got Hallet. He likes being a hero.

What do you mean?

You figure it out for yourself.

Oh, so that's it.

Lola.

Where did they take Jim? - He's under guard in the new house.

What will you do? - Help him get out of there.

You'll get us all in trouble.

Jim is man enough to try to get us out of trouble.

Lola.

Master.

Lola.

Jim.

Where is Jane?

Fang has her in the living room.

It's no use.

This polite one. Only admire. Not touch.

We'll ensure your politeness, General.

Sit down.

Thank you so much.

Too bad I called Mr Cheng.

Bad for you, General.

Not nice for missionary lady kill man.

Why you not turn other cheek?

Maybe that's because I'm only an apprentice missionary.

I assure you I won't hesitate to shoot you.

Don't move. - But I must.

Afraid this man shoot you.

Gun not work with safety catch.

Mr Cheng.

Excuse me, Excellency. This prisoner escaped.

They captured him as he tried to enter this room.

Come.

So you might kill me, my friend?

Gladly, if necessary. - To save lady?

You guessed it.

Not yet, Mr Cheng. By-and-by we fix maybe.

Too bad we got to kill.

No, General.

You not want to see him die?

No.

Very nice. Me not want see him die too.

You not remember so good, my friend.

I don't know what you mean, General.

Look.

One time. Poor coolie chased by General Ma's soldiers.

You hide him until soldiers all gone.

Yes. Well? - Where was bullet in that coolie?

Tell me that. - He had 3 slugs in his left shoulder.

You remember. Then what you do?

I took him out and patched him up as well as I could.

He sneaked away when I was asleep.

An ungrateful son-of-a-gun.

Son of a gun. That was the name you give him: Son of a gun.

Is he a relation of yours?

No relation. He is me. I am him.

Now you know me?

I'll take your word for it.

So we don't fix him, Excellency?

Fix him?

Fix my friend who saved my life when it is almost finished?

You think the great Fang have no gratitude in his heart?

That should fix you, Mr Cheng.

Is this your woman I got here?

No. But I am interested. - Alright. I give her back to you.

What is one woman between friends?

Tell me, how did a coolie so soon become the great General Fang?

It is easy. I leave and join the army.

Most soon, I am great Fang.

How did you do it so quickly?

One day the captain is killed. I become Captain.

The next day, the major. I am Major.

By-and-by, the colonel. I become Colonel.

I killed the general myself.

Now you are a warlord. - It is a great life.

You come with me and I make you general quick.

No thanks. Not for me. - I was afraid of that.

Come. We drink.

Ganbei.

To me. - To you?

Of course. I am Fang.

Tell me what you do here.

I've been operating the discovery oilfield.

But I had to quit.

All money gone?

That's it.

Mr Galt, the man from Peking, holds my note for fifty thousand.

He come to collect?

Yes. But I couldn't pay him.

Too bad. Other man is who?

Gordon Creed.

Creed?

He your husband?

Yes. But we're separated.

He is bad man?

She'll never tell you, General.

My friend here is good man.

Why you not take him?

I am not divorced yet. - But you are separated.

The lady doesn't believe in divorce.

She has husband who is bad man.

She want my friend who is good man but not take him?

Very strange.

My friend. You got plenty trouble.

Plenty.

Alright. In morning we fix.

Ganbei.

Who is there? - Jane Creed.

May I come in please? - Yes. Of course.

I wanted to thank you for what you did tonight.

Jim told me. - All I did was to warn him.

Why did you come to San Husan?

My father had business here.

Is that the only reason?

Perhaps I had other ideas.

About Jim?

I didn't know until tonight that Jim was in love with you.

But that can't make a difference.

There can never be anything between Jim and me.

That still doesn't help me.

Thanks just the same.

Well.

What do you suppose they want with us now?

I don't know. The say the general ordered us brought here.

Perhaps they're preparing for an execution.

Would it be yours, by any chance?

Sorry to disappoint you, Creed.

General Fang.

How do you do? A very nice day.

How are you this morning, General? - How do you do?

You very beautiful.

Even in daytime.

When I give you to him, I keep word.

Just a minute, General. Let me set you straight.

You can't give her to anybody. She happens to be my wife.

Is too bad. But not to get excited about it.

I promise you I will get excited about it.

Mr Cheng.

You may shoot first one to interrupt me. - Very good, Excellency.

Please to sit.

You too, my friends.

I begin with you, Dr. Missionary.

You are good for poor China. I not interrupt your work.

Thank you very much, General.

I had wished to take second woman. As souvenir.

You like go with me?

No thank you.

I make you very happy.

I'm afraid I could not stand so much happiness.

I am Fang.

I am Lola.

Alright. I don't want you anyhow.

Me not like woman who is tough guy.

You are who?

Myron Galt of Peking. - Are you rich man?

I wouldn't say that exactly. - I have way to make people say truth.

I mean I have enough money to live comfortably.

Very nice. How you make money? - I am a financier.

That is what, Mr Cheng?

A financier is one who loans money, Excellency.

And charges very high interest.

In a great, excellent country he would be called a 'loan shark'.

Oh?

Me know sharks.

Make good soup.

You loan money to my friend Jim in oilfield?

No can pay. - That's too bad.

In that case I take possession of the field and operate it myself.

Why not lend him more money so he can operate field?

You get money back. - The field is mine. I'll hold on to it.

I think maybe not.

Fang is number one man in this province.

I'll do the right thing by Hallet. - Very nice.

When I take possession, I'll give him a nice fat bonus.

What is that 'fat bonus', Mr Cheng? - An extra dividend, Excellency.

A profit beyond that which is agreed upon.

How fat that bonus? - Say, 500 dollars.

Fair, isn't it?

You like money too much, Mr Galt.

I am very sorry for you.

You come to buy interest in oilfield, my friend?

That is right. - How much you pay?

I offered him $50,000 for a quarter interest.

You got that money here? - Of course not.

I never carry that amount with me. - Please. Not to lie.

People who do business in Chinese oilfield. Always cash.

Dr. Abernathy.

You mean me, General? - You got my pen note?

Fifty thousand dollars? - Right here.

Mr Creed. You got fifty thousand dollar.

I want.

I won't submit to being robbed. - I not rob.

You give. I take. Give.

Absolutely not. - Mr Cheng.

I not take. To him.

Thank you, General. I didn't expect this.

You got fifty thousand dollars.

Give me my friend note.

I can't do that. You just stole this money from Mr Creed.

Mr Cheng.

Now, my friend. You are all fixed.

I can't take the note, General. - Why not?

It isn't a legal transaction.

American people very strange.

Now it is legal.

Give me money please. - The $50,000? You want it back?

You'll get paid. - Yes.

This is an outrage. I won't stand for it.

Mr Cheng.

To Dr. Missionary. For poor people China.

I cannot accept this. - Not even for poor China?

No, General. I am sorry.

If nobody wants it, I'll take it.

No.

I take.

I am most thankful for people China.

Please to leave. Everyone.

Except Mr Abernathy and Mr Creed. They stay with me.

Fang is number one man here.

Yes. We begin to see that, General.

General Ma yesterday. Today is me.

That is China.

The discovery oilfield is rich.

I think I understand, General.

You will grant a concession to operate the oilfield.

To the man that offers the most money.

Is that right?

I am a poor man.

I'll give ten thousand.

I am a very poor man.

I'll give you fifty thousand.

Fifty-one.

Alright. A hundred thousand.

One hundred and fifty.

175. - 190.

200, 000. - Is enough.

Enough? - Too much.

I not take check and I no danged fool.

You think I let you go get 200,000 dollars?

200,000 soldiers maybe.

What was the idea of the auction in the first place?

I wish to see you men work hard from ransom.

Ransom? - How much ransom?

Just what you have bid.

200,000 dollar from you.

190,000 from you, Mr Creed.

But General.. - Show them out, Mr Cheng.

I am good businessman, Mr Cheng?

You are the grandfather of wisdom, Excellency.

This is a fine mess. - Wait a minute.

I think I see a way out of this.

Captain.

He doesn't understand a word of English.

He'll understand this language.

Captain.

What did he say?

He threatened Jim.

It's very fortunate for you that the general has befriended you.

What's that?

That's a funeral.

The funeral of a merchant who refused to pay squeeze to Fang.

I'm afraid there will be others before he leaves here.

Jim.

At least you can trust Fang.

Not for a minute.

Doctor, don't you think we can depend on Fang's gratitude to Jim?

No telling what he'll do.

That fat-faced captain is the one to worry about.

Possibly.

He has power among the men alright.

I'd feel better if I knew General Ma was on the march in this direction.

If we could only get word to him.

You have the horses ready? - Behind the wall outside the town.

I want you to ride to General Ma and tell him Fang is here.

But the town gates are closely guarded, master.

The cemetery is outside the wall, isn't it?

Then there's your chance.

Hop to it.

I have information for General Ma.

About Fang. The bandit.

Let him come in.

You have information regarding Wu Yen Fang?

Fang has captured the village of San Husan.

Some foreigners are in danger there.

We ride to San Husan at once. Give the orders.

Lola.

I don't want you to leave this room under any condition.

Do you know Creed bribed Captain Nui to start a revolt against the general?

Fang was going to hold us for ransom. Creed knows what he's doing.

But you don't.

If Nui gets the upper hand he's sure to kill Jim.

What does he say?

Fang wants you, master.

No, Missy. Not want you. Better you stay.

Where is your Tartar servant?

Where he go?

He was watching the funeral. That's the last I saw of him.

You not know he has horse behind wall?

Which wall?

Why not stop playing dumb? You only antagonise the general.

Please.

You send him for help?

Yes.

You not trust me.

As far as I'm concerned, yes.

What of the others? Galt and Creed?

Mr Creed not good friend for you.

A most unfortunate situation.

Make plenty trouble for me, my friend.

For the blow you strike Captain Nui. He lose face.

He insists you die.

General, you're not going to permit that?

I speak most danged bad English.

Maybe Mr Cheng explains what happened.

The Captain incited the men to revolt.

Unless permitted to settle his blood feud with Mr Hallet.

There will be much trouble.

General, you cannot let them execute your friend.

You said he saved your life. Why don't you do something?

What can do?

Captain Nui have all the soldiers.

If you say no, we all get fixed.

Most danged quick.

General.

It was Creed who bribed this man to start the revolt.

So Mr Creed started this trouble?

Why not?

You were going to hold me for ransom.

I'm sorry, my friend.

In one hour you die.

I not let you die alone. I come watch.

Thanks. That will be a big help.

One moment please, Mr Creed.

I like make confidence.

Very polite.

We have to do something.

My friend.

Thank you, General.

No hard feelings I hope.

Hard feelings?

Yes, sir. I hope you're not angry at me.

You see. You sort-of had me on the spot.

I had to do a little double-crossing.

Double..?

What that mean, Mr Cheng?

To double-cross a friend is to betray him, Excellency.

Oh.

How you get Captain Nui to double-cross me?

Well.

You can do almost anything with money. You know that, General.

Wisdom falls from your lips.

You know, maybe Captain Nui asked for the life..

Of Mr Hallet?

I am sorry for Hallet. But that's his lookout.

Besides, he's in love with my wife.

You love your woman?

Regardless of that, he'll never get her.

General, let's get back to business.

You and I can make a much better deal than the one I made with Captain Nui.

You mean we double-cross him too?

Why not?

You're in the racket to make money, aren't you?

You are very smart man.

My friend.

I give you most best deal of anybody.

You can leave here now and it not cost no money.

What's the catch?

There is no catch. It's easy.

I just go kill you.

You must be joking, General.

Do I look like joker?

Does Mr Cheng look like joker?

General, what would you gain by doing this?

Alive, you no good. Dead, you very good.

Make two people happy.

You mean you want to kill me so my wife can marry Hallet?

The best way I think.

If that's what's worrying you, General. I can arrange it.

I'll give her a divorce. He can have her.

I have seen man not fight for his money.

I have seen man not fight for his life.

Not before have I seen man not fight for his woman.

But General.

If it's money you want, I'll give you plenty of money.

Anything that you want.

It is not that I not want money.

It is that I not want you.

I do this myself, Mr Cheng.

At least fight fair. You both have guns. Give me a chance.

But if I give you a gun, you maybe shoot me.

You think I am danged fool?

He is not to make double-cross, Mr Cheng.

Not nice thing to do.

General.

You can't let them do this. There must be something you can do to save him.

It make me very sad.

If it's money you want, I'll make my father give you every dollar he has.

Oh?

So you love this Jim too?

Two women love him.

Must be very good man. Same as me.

You feel alright? - What do you think?

I think, my friend, you will not lose face.

Cigarette?

You want to make it a good show? With all the trimmings.

Very good cigarette.

Look.

I killed two men to get this.

Make fire.

Sometimes.

Suddenly gone.

It very nice.

You want drink?

No thanks.

Me, I want drink when I die.

Bottoms up.

You are ready now?

I am ready.

Me. I am ready too.

Mr Cheng.

You feel alright? - I have felt worse.

You think I let you die?

I don't know yet how you put it over.

It was easy. I am Fang.

Call men to gate.

General Ma at gate of town with soldiers.

Your servant cause plenty trouble for me.

But it is alright. I am Fang.

Goodbye, my friend.

Goodbye, General.

Mr Creed very bad hurt. You tell Missy come quick.

Chan said you were faint. - I was watching the fighting.

A stray bullet got me. - Is it a flesh wound?

It seems to be. It knocked me out for a few minutes.

I think we fixed, Mr Cheng.

It is enough I think.

Hold still, will you? - You're as human as any other woman.

When I go you'd go running to him whether I'm living or dead.

Take it easy. - He doesn't know what he's saying.

Yes I do. Never been saner in my life. You listen to me.

I stopped a bullet tonight on account of you. Now you're going to stop one.

And we'll call it an accident.

How many times I got to kill you, Mr Creed?

General. - It is my mistake.

You should have let Mr Cheng fix him first time.

Too bad.

My soldiers are beaten. I am caught in trap.

We won't let them take you alive, Excellency.

We barricade the house. - Too late.

If they surround the house, kill them out there.

No. No.

Tell General Ma: Fang is finished.

Excellency. - I let you die with me.

What more you want?

I shall do as you say, Excellency.

General Ma will execute you.

Yes, my friend. With very great pleasure.

Are you ready, General Fang?

One moment. Please.

He is too big high.

You feel alright?

No, General. I don't. It's my fault all this is happening.

Not your fault. It is fortune of war.

I'd give my right arm if I could help you like you helped me.

I think maybe you need right arm.

It is more best you keep it.

Cigarette?

Thanks.

Souvenir for you, my friend.

Nice sparks.

Lots of them.

Very nice.

For you too.

You drink my health, huh?

Happy journey, General.

Bottoms up.

So sorry.

It is necessary for all foreign women to leave as soon as possible.

Very well, General. These ladies are leaving in the morning.

It is better, sir.
