This is Captain White

How are you?

Your Excellency, the ship is ready...

for your inspection

Inspection

This suitcase will be sent

to your residence tonight

The Imperial Commissioner Lin,

the Imperial Commissioner will go

to Guangzhou pretty soon

You must observe all the regulations

and be careful

"Allowed to enter the port"

Shanzhi?

Father

Shanzhi

Father

It's all my fault...

Today, Father...

I...

My son!

Glad to see you again!

People said that

you had drowned in the sea,

but master refused to believe it

Our Yihe Company has been prospering

and we wouldn't let you die at sea

After the shipwreck,

I was rescued

by a foreign merchant ship, the Tuna

I had to work as a seaman

to gain my trip back home

The Tuna?

It is the British merchant Denton's ship

I helped him make a big fortune

How dare he treat you like a seaman!

Urgent message from 400 miles away

Urgent message from 400 miles away

Fine!

"If one is full of tolerance,

he will be generous

If one is free of greed,

he will be fearless"

Viceroy Deng's blindfolded calligraphy

is definitely a masterpiece of art

Viceroy Deng has great vision

and a magic hand

It is said that,

that is Lin Zexu's favourite couplet

In my opinion,

practising calligraphy is like,

handling matters of the state

And any slight wavering must be avoided

Just now I heard the voice of a courier

I think it must be

an urgent message sent by Lin

You're right

Where is Commissioner Lin now?

It is reported that he travels day and

night and has just passed Nanchang

He's still hundreds of miles away,

but his orders have reached us

Lin's men have already been

in Guangzhou

I'm afraid we are all on his list

Lin is really putting a lot of effort

into his mission

Denton, Denton

My son was shipwrecked in Southeast Asia

and I thank you for making him

as a seaman

Please... This Chinese is unbelievable

It is Mary!

Rong'er

Yes

This is my treat, cheers

Master

I'm told Lin Zexu wants to ban opium and

he was granted an audience with...

His Majesty once every day during,

his eight-day stay in the Capital

Well, I just have to send him 8 times

as many gifts of silver

Father, he will send him

a gift of silver eight times as much

I'm afraid Lin Zexu won't accept it

My father is old,

I'll marry you as soon as he dies

You are lying to me

Madam, here comes a customer

It's you who told me to try opium,

saying that opium can cure all diseases

I... I live on singing only and

I won't get further...

Now that you need six opium balls a day

How can I afford you?

Do you think

I can sh*t gold and piss silver?

Fine,

I will give you no more

No...

Go this way

Seal this place. Catch opium deals
