- I'd write a song about you
- Hello.

:30:10
- Hello.
- Remember me?

:30:12
- Helen.
- Elizabeth.

:30:13
- Christmas Eve, 1924.
- That's right. I'm married now.

:30:18
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

:30:28
Lee, where would you go
in Chinatown

:30:31
to find a girl who's run away
from the cribs?

:30:36
There's only one place.
:30:40
The mission house
on Sacramento Street.

:30:51
Yes, may I help you?
:30:53
How do you do. I'm Peter Collinson
from the Chronicle.

:30:55
I'd like to have a word
with Miss Cameron if I may.

:30:58
- Newspaper reporter?
- Yes, ma'am. I'm from the Chronicle.

:31:01
I've been working on a story
about the slave rackets down here...

:31:04
...and I've got a problem
you might be able to help me with.

:31:07
We've been having some trouble
locating a primary source.

:31:13
Who is "we," Mr. Collinson?
:31:16
It wouldn't be Fong Wei Tau,
now, would it?

:31:19
Now, wait a minute.
I know who he is, but that's about it.

:31:21
Your source came to us
in the middle of the night with nothing

:31:25
but the clothes on her back,
crazed with fear.

:31:28
She would only tell me
she had escaped from Fong.

:31:31
Fong paid $5,000 for her
when she was brought here

:31:35
from China at the age of 12.
:31:37
Five thousand dollars!
:31:40
So he could sell her body
in his parlor house.

:31:43
If she's caught, it wouldn't be
a life worth living, now, would it?

:31:49
Do you have any idea
where she is now?

:31:52
A young man tricked one of my staff
into letting her leave with him.

:31:56
I'll never forgive myself
for being out that day.
