Lieutenant Collins, it would be much better
for all of us if you go away at once.

1:13:27
- We have no intention of leaving.
- Your lives are in danger.

1:13:31
- You shouldn't have come here.
- Jameson, you're to come back with me.

1:13:36
You have five minutes
to pack what you need.

1:13:38
Our militia of students
went to fight you at the boom.

1:13:42
l was hoping to see them
come back victorious instead of you.

1:13:46
- You've heard about Nanking?
- Yes.

1:13:49
But those events have no bearing here.
1:13:52
You alone endanger us.
1:13:55
l must ask you to leave now.
1:13:58
My duty is to protect you.
1:14:00
No longer. Shirley, will you please
get that paper from my desk?

1:14:04
We've declared ourselves stateless persons.
We've sent our names to Geneva.

1:14:10
That's impossible.
1:14:13
Read this.
1:14:24
- Jake.
- l tried to get back sooner. l couldn't.

1:14:27
- You staying?
- Yes. What happened at the boom?

1:14:29
By that signed declaration
we have renounced nationality itself.

1:14:33
Your uniform now gives you no authority
over us and no responsibility for us.

1:14:37
- Romantic nonsense.
- We've convinced most people here

1:14:40
that there is no connection
between ourselves and the gunboats.

1:14:44
- Your presence only endangers us.
- We're at war, Jameson. They'll kill you.

1:14:48
They will not.
1:14:50
Perhaps once this might have
protected you, but not now.

1:14:53
Now it is shooting and killing.
lt's too late for such fine distinctions.

1:14:57
lt will protect us.
