they were shipping the bones of back to China,

were any bones left behind?

The Chinese Benevolence society

it stopped the shipping of bones many years ago.

The communists took it

power and they closed the borders,

even for the deceased ones.

- Many people bones were left behind.

- What happened to them?

They stayed buried.

We stop exhuming the bodies.

Thank you.

What do the doctors say about Sam?

It still no change.

Would there any file kept on record of the workers?

I remember see some filing cabinets downstairs.

- We filled them up years ago.

- Do you mind if I go and poke around?

- No!

- No!

Why is there a new

padlock in the door of the factory?

Because of what happened to Sam.

I am worry there is still

dangerous chemicals down there.

What does the truck do outside?

If you don't wany anybody there

- what are they unloading?

- They work for me.

Mrs Tsai is allowing me

to put supplies in the warehouse.

I sorry, ladies,

we have to go.

What are you hiding from me?

I understand the stress

you must be under.

For your son sake

you should get some rest.

Why are you insulting my guests?

What's wrong with you

Can I please go down and check the records?

There are no records!

Who keeps the records for over 50 years?

I got your message.

In coma? I should never left.

I love you, hanging there, ok.

I'm getting a plane now

and we see each other soon.

lets me guess, you changed your mind

and you want to return to the work.

I can use your strength.

- I need your help.

- I'm your man.

Where I can get the records of

immigrants

who worked in the factory back in the 40s?

Are you working on a story?

I just need the information.

Please.

Ok, I am going to try.

Which the name of the company?

Jason's unlce used to own a garment factory

in Chinatown, Tsai Fabrics or something so.

a garment factory?

- I don't think that they kept reocords of that.

- what do you means?

It had to have payrolls,

immigration's papers or something so?

Sarah thinks about that, a chinese garment factory in the 40's or 50's,

bringing girls from China,

Definitely not going to have any records.

- You mean, sweatshop?

- I do not want to malign your relatives, but

hold on, they had a shipping company

to...

- Tsai factory, right?

- Yes.

Swore to god that I am going blind.

Here we go,

you complain to the labour board,

but the workers did not testify.

That was in 1949.

There was another investigation in the 70's.

Allegations of smuggling.

Insufficient evidences.

All charges were dropped.

- Were there drugs?

- Parts of animals.

- Parts of animals?

- Yes, in this zone it must be bears.

I did a piece of that a few years ago.
