1:00:00
Nothing but words and phrases
you learned in Sunday school.

1:00:04
You don't believe in them
any more than I do.

1:00:08
You were wrong when you said
I resent missionaries.

1:00:12
I despise them.
1:00:15
There should be another
Great Wall to keep your kind out.

1:00:18
You've already got
a Great Wall around you.

1:00:20
And it isn't built
of mud and stones.

1:00:22
It's made of ridiculous pride
and inhuman cruelty.

1:00:24
You won't allow one single
human feeling to reach you.

1:00:27
You want me to be
hostage for Mah-Li?

1:00:30
All right. I'm not afraid of you.
I'll answer for her loyalty.

1:00:53
Say, what the sam hill
is going on here?

1:00:55
Come here, Mah-Li.
1:00:57
I'm going to spare your life.
1:00:59
Are you off your nut?
Get up.

1:01:03
Thank her. I'm going to
place you in her hands.

1:01:06
She agrees to answer
for your future loyalty.

1:01:09
But you know and I know,
the moment my back is turned,

1:01:13
you're going to throw
a knife into it.

1:01:16
Miss Davis, I swear
I'll never betray your trust.

1:01:19
I swear by my father's head
and by the bones of my ancestors.

1:01:23
And by the holy book
in the mission school.

1:01:27
I believe you, Mah-Li.
1:01:29
What are you up to now?
1:01:32
I am going to convert a missionary.
1:01:47
Here's your slipper, Mah-Li.
1:01:50
You're so kind.
1:01:51
Now, I want you to promise
not to see Captain Li again

1:01:53
as long as we remain here.
1:01:55
Anything you say, Miss Davis.
1:01:58
Will you take me
to the temple today?
