Bob.
Megan.

:08:15
Let me look at you, Bob.
:08:17
Will you forgive me? I simply
couldn't meet you at the boat.

:08:19
Oh, I'd forgive you anything.
:08:21
Well, that's good, because...
Listen, Megan.

:08:23
What's the matter, Bob?
Well, listen, dear.

:08:25
St. Andrews Orphanage
is in terrible danger.

:08:27
I've got to get a safe-conduct pass to get
into the war zone and bring out the children.

:08:31
What? Is there going to be a wedding?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Jackson.

:08:33
The wedding will have to be
delayed. But don't worry...

:08:35
Is the pass from the
American consulate?

:08:36
No. None of the foreign authorities
can do anything.

:08:38
I've got to get a pass
from a Chinese general.

:08:39
That's what we call
our gangsters here: Generals.

:08:42
Which one, Bob?
General Yen.

:08:44
General Yen.
:08:46
You don't mean the man that expelled
missionaries from his province?

:08:49
Yes. He's in Shanghai now
under an assumed name.

:08:51
I think I know where to find him.
I don't see how you can possibly

:08:54
ask that bandit for any favours
after the way he treated you.

:08:57
Well, I hate to, but he's the only man who
can get me through the Nationalist lands.

:09:00
I've got to go now before I lose
track of him. Where's Megan?

:09:03
I'm ready, Bob.
:09:05
Megan, you can't go with me.
Of course I can.

:09:07
Not now. I'm not going
to allow you to risk your life...

:09:09
If there are bandit generals to be tamed
or children to be rescued, I'm in on it.

:09:13
Why do you think I came to China?
I wouldn't let her go, Bob.

:09:16
If you ask me, I'm proud of her.
Come on, Megan.

:09:20
God willing, we'll be back in two hours.
:09:22
With a carload
of orphans.

:09:24
Oh, it's great to be young.
:09:26
Oh, dear, my wedding is all spoiled.
If it isn't the war, it's the orphans.

:09:30
The food's spoiled, and the
flowers will be all spoiled.

:09:33
Well, it's not your wedding.
:09:34
Oh, you keep still.
Did you take your magnesia?

:09:37
No.
:09:45
Is this the bandit's cave?
Yes.

:09:48
Now, you sit right
here in the car.

:09:49
If anyone speaks to you,
just glare at them.

:09:55
Bring the general with you.
Maybe he'd like to go with us.
