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.
1:15:00
This afternoon, my ship fought
its way through down there at the boom.
1:15:05
People were killed on both sides. You will not
make that a futile and meaningless battle.
1:15:10
We will not serve to give meaning to your
heroics. Our lives have their own meaning.
1:15:14
- We have renounced nationality!
- You were sentenced to death!
1:15:18
l am free, under the protection of a student.
1:15:20
They will not care who protects you now.
Not after Nanking.
1:15:24
And it will not be a student militia
who comes for you now, but regular troops.
1:15:30
Miss Eckert, they will strip you and rape you.
1:15:33
And this whole valley will be destroyed when
our country comes to avenge your death.
1:15:39
Do you want that?
1:15:42
You don't know them.
1:15:44
Have you ever cared for
Chinese women raped and butchered
1:15:47
by the warlord troops
you favour with your treaties?
1:15:50
- ln heaven's name, leave us alone!
- That's enough!
1:15:55
Holman, help them get their things together.
1:15:59
No, sir.
