:34:02
A kid whose ancestors used
to hang in baskets in the Sierras,

:34:05
poking dynamite sticks in cliff faces?
:34:08
All I'm asking you to do
is be a fly on the wall.

:34:11
Your ancestors are rolling in their graves.
:34:13
Goddamn bullshit, Captain!
You're pushing too much. I'm no slave.

:34:17
I gave up my security job.
I gave up my chauffeur job.

:34:20
I send less money home.
I'm tired all the time. I don't eat right.

:34:24
I'm getting sick. I die,
I'm fucked! My family's fucked!

:34:29
- For what?
- What do you mean?

:34:31
You don't care nothing for people.
You make us all die for you.

:34:37
Let me tell you something.
:34:39
When your ancestors lived in caves
and scrabbled for coal in Poland,

:34:43
the Chinese were sailing
their ships across the Pacific.

:34:46
- What do you know about my ancestors?
- What do you know about mine?

:34:50
We were traders, shipbuilders, explorers.
:34:53
We taught you agriculture. We gave you
oranges, grapes, your irrigation system.

:34:57
We dug your gold and silver, Stanley.
We taught you how to fish the Pacific.

:35:02
And still we were barred from
American citizenship until 1943.

:35:07
We worked so hard to build your railroads
that when our opium didn't come on time,

:35:11
we were so desperate,
we helped each other kill ourselves!

:35:16
But I'm not going to kill
myself for you, Captain White.

:35:20
No more "Chinaman Joe".
Those days are over.

:35:38
He'll be back. He loves me.
:35:43
Look, Stan, the kid's
pushing it to the limit.

:35:45
I don't know, maybe we
should take him off the case.

:35:49
No undercover has lasted more
than a month in Chinatown.

:35:52
Let me tell you something.
That kid is tough as nails.

:35:58
And I'm going to make it up to him.
