He wants you
to take this sword
and try to strike him.
Try it.
It s part of the performance.
If I kill a Boxer,
does that, er...
create a diplomatic incident?
There is no danger.
You've made your point.
Not quite.
Bravo!
I guess he wasn't
a true believer.
It seems, Sir Arthur, that
your troops are invulnerable.
Forgive me,
but the Major
doesnt seem
to play the game
according to Chinese rules.
I apologize, Sir Arthur.
I dont think he came here
tonight to play games.
Good night.
Unfortunately, Sir Arthur,
I must return
to my duties at the palace.
No need to escort me.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the next dance will be a waltz.
- Aword, Sir Arthur.
- This is an insult to the British
and a challenge
to all Powers!
Areport
will reach the Kaiser.
Her Majesty's Government
is not alarmed by this
Boxer invasion of its Embassy.
I shall complain
to the Chinese ministry.
What will you do, Sir Arthur?
I intend to have
a glass of champagne.
You know,
I admire Sir Arthur.
He makes me think
that God must be an Englishman.
We go and we go
and we don't get anywhere.
Why not head back to the hotel?
- Are you tired, Major?
- Tired? No.
Ready to turn in? Maybe.
Ever been
inside this temple?
Wed get a better drink
at the hotel.
Very interesting.
Can we go now?
But we havent
had our dance yet.
Shall we?
What'll you do
in Tientsin?
I'll be entirely
in your hands.
You are now but you keep
slipping through my fingers.
I think Ill get you to take me
to San Francisco with you.
Why to San Francisco?
It s where
they found all the gold.
Just a minute.
What s that trinket worth?
A lot of money.
We won t leave today. They've
killed the German Minister.
But Matt, we must leave...
I have to leave.
You have to wait.
Your sword, Sir Arthur.
You are well, Sir Arthur?
If you are, Your Majesty.
- We are pleased to receive you.
- It s an honour,
Your Majesty.
We have been informed
of the German Minister s death.
The Boxers
will be punished.
But the people s anger
cannot be quieted so easily.
The Germans
have seized Kiaochow,
the Russians Port Arthur.
The French have obtained
concessions in Yunnan,
Kwangsi and Kwangtung.
In all, thirteen of the
eighteen provinces of China
are under
foreign control.
Warships occupy our harbors,
foreign armies
fill our forts,
foreign merchants
administer our banks,
foreign gods disturb
the spirits of our ancestors.
Is it surprising
our people are aroused?
Please allow me to observe
redress China s grievances.
China is a prostrate cow!
The Powers are
butchering her for her meat.
If China is a cow, she is
indeed a marvellous animal
