Hurry up!

Sir...

No!

Not enough?

This is the best opium

No...

I just want you to stay for one night

No, I don't sleep with foreigners

Why not?

I am a man too

I came first,

whoever has to wait outside

Rong'er

Oh, it's Mr. He, and a foreign lady!

There're soldiers outside, let us in

It's dangerous outside

You are a slut!

Out of my way!

Daddy

What the deuce are you doing here?

How could you!

How did you find me?

I hate you!

Freeze!

Your Excellency!

You!

How dare you! Men, come here!

Take him away

Rong'er, get up quick

Soldiers are forcing their way in

Sister, get up now,

the Commander is Han

Your Excellency!

Rong'er

Go!

Go!

Where is Lin Zexu,

the Imperial Commissioner?

Your Excellency, when our boat arrived,

Commissioner Lin went ashore and

told me to escort the official seal

Raise the sedan chair

Yesterday I was told that

Lin Zexu had just passed Nanchang

I'm sorry. I was remissed in my duty

I do not have great vision

I think Lin Zexu has started

Investigations in the city

Tell Commander Han...

to arrest whoever appears in Lin's list

and execute them in public!

Go!

Hill, would you come take a look at this

By taking the heads of their own people,

they seek to imitate us. I think they do

There is an old Chinese saying,

"Kill the chicken and

terrify the monkey"

Those convicts are

the unfortunate chickens

And we, gentlemen,

are the unwelcome foreign monkeys

Start the execution

Peace on earth

This is too much

They carry on this dreadful business

right beneath our national flag

I don't want to die

Help! Help!

Mr. Denton, help me!

How dare you! Shut up!

Help!

Oh, no! He!

Mr. Denton, help!

Daddy, do something!

You just can't leave him there

Denton

He is my friend! No!

What did she say?

She said she knows Your Excellency

Please spare my life

Nonsense,

how can a foreign girl know me?

She said she saw your Excellency...

on board the Tuna

If your Excellency kills me,

she will go to Commissioner Lin

to sue Your Excellency

Please spare my life!

Mary!

She is my daughter. Come here!

Daddy

Let her go!

Brother Xiong, let me do it

Sir,

he is the son of the owner

of Yihe Company

he is not an opium dealer

Viceroy Deng, Governor Yi and

General Guan are coming to meet you

How fast they found me!

Tell them to stop the ex ecution

I wish you all good health

Your Excellency, please forgive us

for not having met you earlier

Have some tea please

General Guan, please

The convict is called He Shanzhi

the son of the owner of Yihe Company

we have held him in custody

It's He Shanzhi!

Take him to my office tomorrow

Yes sir

You've collaborated with

British merchants to trade in opium
