Macao Page #2

Always friendly and hospitable.

Have you any other means

of identification?

Yeah.

This took me three years, five months

and 26 days to get.

You served as a lieutenant

in the Signal Corps of the United States.

Unfortunately, Seor Cochrane,

this finely engraved document

does not grant you the privilege

of traveling free as a bird

-throughout the Orient.

-l was afraid of that.

l suggest you contact your consulate

in Hong Kong.

How long did you intend

to remain in our city?

-That depends.

-On what?

On a certain female. Lady luck.

l wish you well.

lt is our fond hope

that all visitors to Macao

should feel as untroubled here

as Adam in the garden of Eden.

Untroubled? That aint the way l heard it.

This is the Rua da Felicidade.

Mucho fun. Win plenty money.

Fan Tan, dice, big gambling.

Here come biggest gambling house.

-lts run by American gentleman.

-Yeah? Whats his name?

Mr. Vincent Halloran.

Very important man. Big boss.

-Whats he boss of?

-What he is boss of?

Most of Macao. This his place.

Ling Tan the merchant

wants chips for this.

Claims it is worth 2,000.

Offer him 700.

Did your cousin arrive on the noon ferry?

lf he had, he would be here by now.

lt shouldnt take five days to sell

a $100,000 necklace in Hong Kong

and come back, if hes coming back.

-Hes always returned before.

-Thats what l mean.

You dont want that junk.

Diamonds would only cheapen you.

Yeah. But what a way to be cheapened.

As l anticipated,

my connections in Hong Kong were right.

No uniform, no badge, no credentials

but l spotted him like that.

Stop taking bows

and lets see what he looks like.

These passengers we already know.

These three are newcomers.

Doesnt a murder charge

ever get outlawed?

He will not be as easy as the last one.

He looks easy enough.

Oh, this is just a salesman,

Trumble of Manila.

This is the New York detective.

Where is he now? Headquarters?

No. Nor do l think

he will ever visit the police.

He calls himself Nick Cochrane.

Hes at the Portugueza, pretending to be

without money or passport.

Did you talk to him at all?

He insisted on concealing his identity,

so l played his little game.

Obviously he has a plan

to take you back to New York illegally.

This will happen over my dead body.

Thats what l like about you, Sebastian.

Your unselfishness.

-Think shes hooked up with him?

-Why?

-Wheres she staying?

-At his hotel.

-Did they seem to know each other?

-l dont think so.

What does she say shes here for?

Besides her obvious talents,

she also sings.

l happen to need a singer.

-Are you an American?

-Yeah, whats on your mind?

ls this really American money?

-Where did you get this?
