When was the last time

you saw him?

He's in Fresno now.

Not much of a chance

to see him.

Why don't you write to him?

Hmm.

I'm sure he's lonely out there.

It's from my grandma.

She said it's supposed

to protect me.

May I?

I must get back to my chores.

On the boat from China,

men kept talking about Jin Shan.

What is it?

It means "gold mountain."

What is Gold Mountain?

It's another name for America.

You mean it's made up?

It's a way

of giving people hope.

We all need Gold Mountain.

[in Chinese]

[firecrackers popping,

people cheering]

[in English]

The American Dream...

Chinese style.

[in Chinese]

[vocalizing music plays]

[crowd cheering, applauding]

[martial art grunting]

[applauding]

[grunting]

Hmph!

[applause]

[Sam]

[in English]

Huh!

[all exclaiming]

Oh! [chuckles]

[in English] Are you having

a little trouble with... this?

I can't seem to get it...

Maybe you're trying it

too hard.

Put this seed

into your mouth like this...

and balance it

between your teeth...

and crack it.

Now you try.

[seed bounces]

[chuckles]

I don't think

I can get it.

You don't know

what you're missing.

[chuckles]

Interesting technique...

but I think you need

to show me that again

so I can learn how.

Open your mouth...

and crack it.

Mm-hmm!

[giggling]

[in Chinese]

[chuckles]

[snorts]

[chuckles]

Hmm?

[chatter]

Huh?

[woman]

[in English] I don't believe

in this Gold Mountain anymore.

- Let me help.

- How?

I can talk to Madame Pong about

buying out your contract.

And what, will you own me

just like Yu Hing owns Lily?

No, no, no, no, no!

I will tear up

your contract.

You will be a free woman.

[in Chinese]

[in Chinese]

[in English]

I love her!

[in English]

Love...

Good luck.

[in Chinese]

[thunder rumbling]

[woman gasps]

[in English]

You have the address.

It's my family's cottage

in Los Angeles.

You'll be safe there. My

uncles will be around to help.

- Thank you, brother.

- Get down!

[in Chinese]

[in English] I'll get

there soon as I can.

What about

the food stall?

I can get someone

to cover it.

- You sure?

- Of course.

My uncles have wanted me

to come back to Los Angeles.

They belong

to the See Yup Association,

and they need all the help they

can to fight people like Yu Hing.

You promise you are

going to find Lily?

I told you, I'll find her.

You have my word.

Can you get this

to my father?

- I'll take care of it.

- Thank you.

Be safe.

[in Chinese]

[chuckles]

[groans]

- [knife plunges]

- [grunts]

[gasps]

[eagle screeches]

[in English]

I know you're worried.

Even if Yu Hing finds out

we're in Los Angeles,

we'll be surrounded

by Sam's family.
