(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

So, gather around.

Ferrous sulfide.

Acid.

You smell?

(ALL GROANING)

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

(ALL LAUGHING)

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Good girl.

What have you got?

Oh!

Maureen.

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Come here.

Yes, that's me.

Before the hair slipped

off the back of my head.

Where on earth did you find this?

I have my way. Found it a long time ago.

It's for you.

Thanks.

You know, would you help me find an

orphanage that can look after him?

Well, listen, I was born here,

so surely that makes me Chinese, too, no?

You know, I've been living

here for half my life,

so I raise a cup to you,

my friends,

with a drink that comes from my first home.

Oof! (CLEARS THROAT)

You know my...

You know my brother Robert?

He ran the hospital in Xiaozhang.

He wrote to me before he left, asking

for supplies for the doctors there,

if we can buy them.

No. Your father give you this.

I'm afraid it's all I have now.

But he would have been

happy if it could help.

XU:
No, not with this.

Please.

I hope it's worth enough.

It's quite a long list.

(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Oh, no.

Let me handle this.

I'm so sorry.

Teaching. Teaching.

Thank you.

(EXHALES)

XU:
As the months passed,

we encountered many close calls

with the Japanese soldiers.

Life was full of danger,

and we were often caught in

the crossfire of the armies

that fought each other.

With Eric's dedication

to help those in need

and my connections

to the underground,

we found ways to

accomplish our missions.

(WOMAN SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Well, that wasn't so bad.

NURSE:
Eric, do you mind?

There is a dying patient to pray over.

ERIC:
Of course. Come on.

(BOY SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Go!

Come on! Come on!

You've got two hands, don't you?

Repeat after me.

"I, Hugh."

I, Hugh.

"Take thee, Catherine,

to be my wedded wife."

Take thee, Catherine, to be my wedded wife.

"To have and to hold

from this day forward."

To have and to hold from this day forward.

"For better, for worse."

For better, for worse.

"For richer, for poorer..."

Please, this is a house of God.

Could we have the weapons...

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Captain, you have no right

to be here. Could we just...

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Captain, you have no right to be here.

We are at war.

(BOY SPEAKING MANDARIN)

- (STEAM HISSING)

- (HORN BLOWING)

(MEN SHOUTING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

No, no, we're, we're

married. We're... Go this way?

No, no, we're together.

We're married. We go together.

No, no. Hold on a second. Hold on.

You can't separate us. We're together!

Hold on!

Catherine is my wife.

Let us live together.

How could you prove?

You can! You were there!

You were at the wedding!
