Daughter of the Dragon Page #3

---

a courageous farewell.

Goodbye.

My honoured father.

Hobbs.

Yes, sir?

Coming, sir.

Not a trace of him out here.

Well, what have you done?

I've thrown a cordon round the

house aided by the Police.

Send for some more to increase

the guard. Put some of them back ..

[ Female screams! ]

What's that?

Come inside quick! They're killing her.

This way. Come quick!

Stay down here, Bentley.

You murderer.

You see, he's through.

Ling Moy. My Princess, are you safe?

This is her bedroom.

What is this man doing here?

Wait.

He's dead.

Are you alright?

Fu Manchu killed my father.

And Ling Moy graciously.

Thanks you.

For his death.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

You are very kind.

Ronald.

Thanks to Ah Kee.

This is the last page.

Of a terrible record.

Father.

I will ..

I will.

FADE TO BLACK:

SCREEN TITLE:

TWO MONTHS LATER

SCENE:
BACKYARD OF PETRIE MANSION

PETRIE:

Why not tear up the South American

contract and remain here and dance [BEAT] with me?

LING MOY:

Could I tear up my duty, too?

PETRI:

These last two months have

been very, very beautiful.

And I've had terrible

regrets over your going.

LING MOY:

Will you?

Yes .. many.

Then chuck everything and stay.

If I stay.

Would my hair ever become golden curls?

And my skin ivory like Ronald's?

RONALD:
It's strange. I prefer yours.

I shall never forget your

hair and your eyes.

LING MOY:

It's only a passing fascination.

RONALD:

It [emphasis] was fascination.

[Confederates]

The leopard and the deer

stroll too amicably together.

By talking much, she learns much.

LING MOY:

The Chinese heart is

very constant Ronald.

It might be sadly wounded.

In one of your western affairs.

But don't you realize ..

JOAN:

Ronald .. Ronald.

Oh, Ronald.

RONALD:

Alright, Joan.

You will let me drive you into town?

Yes.

In half an hour, then?

Here we are, Joan.

Tea is ready.

Of course it's the

un-spiced, English variety.

Oh, I don't think I'll have any,

thanks. You see, wait, dear.

I promised to drive Ling Moy into town.

But you didn't bother to explain.

Oh but Joan, I just happened

to say I'd drive her.

It's a happy coincidence,

isn't it that you ..

Promise to do the very

thing you preferred.

Yes, but Joan.

Lu Chung humbly offers

that the time is short.

I am aware.

Perhaps Ling Moy divides

her strength between duty ..

And the advice of the heart.

I am giving him a beautiful illusion.

Which I shall crush.

I pray that it is so.

For one foot cannot stand on two boats.

Lu Chung. You are insolent.

I just echo the thought of your people.

Who demand some word from you.

They are even more insolent.

What shall I tell them?

Tell them the orders shall

be executed tonight.
