00:
21:18,510 -- 00:21:21,510
Mother, Dan has learned
to tell lies lately.
155
00:
21:22,381 -- 00:21:25,381
I saw her with Hunchback the other day
156
00:
21:26,952 -- 00:21:29,952
coming out of the abandoned house.
157
00:
21:31,390 -- 00:21:34,390
But when I confronted her,
she denied everything.
158
00:
21:35,527 -- 00:21:38,527
One of these days she will
come home with a big belly
159
00:
21:39,431 -- 00:21:41,098
and give birth to a little hunchback.
160
00:
21:41,098 -- 00:21:42,400
If you're not careful,
161
00:
21:42,400 -- 00:21:43,868
she may blame it on Father.
162
00:
21:43,868 -- 00:21:46,304
ls that right?
163
00:
21:46,304 -- 00:21:49,305
She's a slut.
164
00:
21:49,305 -- 00:21:52,474
Girls like her are going
to elope sooner or later.
165
00:
21:54,946 -- 00:21:57,882
Such a pity.
166
00:
21:57,882 -- 00:22:00,883
Your father and l
wasted our time raising her.
167
00:
22:03,689 -- 00:22:06,689
If I ever see you with that
hunchback servant again
168
00:
22:07,793 -- 00:22:10,793
then damn your ancestors.
I swear I'll beat you to death.
169
00:
22:12,564 -- 00:22:15,564
You shameless whore.
170
00:
22:18,537 -- 00:22:20,871
Oh my God! You monster.
171
00:
22:20,871 -- 00:22:23,872
Are you trying to kill me?
172
00:
23:10,756 -- 00:23:12,523
It's me.
173
00:
23:12,523 -- 00:23:15,493
Run away with me.
174
00:
23:15,493 -- 00:23:17,595
Did she beat you again?
175
00:
23:17,595 -- 00:23:19,563
They can't do anything to me.
176
00:
23:19,563 -- 00:23:22,564
Why are you here?
177
00:
23:27,038 -- 00:23:29,206
What's with you?
178
00:
23:29,206 -- 00:23:30,841
Run away with me.
179
00:
23:30,841 -- 00:23:33,444
Mr. Governor and Madame have been killed.
180
00:
23:33,444 -- 00:23:35,279
Their house burnt to the ground.
181
00:
23:35,279 -- 00:23:37,114
Come with me.
182
00:
23:37,114 -- 00:23:39,683
Dan, you've died out there haven't you?
183
00:
23:39,683 -- 00:23:42,684
I hope lightning strikes you, so I don't
ever have to look at your face again.
184
00:
23:42,684 -- 00:23:44,755
You'd better go.
185
00:
23:44,755 -- 00:23:46,056
Come with me now.
186
00:
23:46,056 -- 00:23:48,426
Sooner or later the Viet Minh
will be here.
187
00:
23:48,426 -- 00:23:50,995
Run away with me.
188
00:
23:50,995 -- 00:23:53,996
We'll escape to the South.
189
00:
23:54,399 -- 00:23:56,834
Go wherever we can be safe.
190
00:
23:56,834 -- 00:23:59,069
Let's just close our eyes
and step forward.
191
00:
23:59,069 -- 00:24:01,105
We'll go together.
192
00:
24:01,105 -- 00:24:03,240
Whatever happens happens.
193
00:
24:03,240 -- 00:24:06,241
There's nothing to worry about
