:40:02
Captain Harvey, may I see your passport?
:40:04
Just exactly who are you? I am a British officer
and I demand to know by what right
you are treating us in this outrageous manner?
:40:11
I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Revolution.
:40:14
The prisoner who was removed from the Shanghai Express
last night was my right hand.
An important officer in my army.
:40:20
Your army! Why, you're nothing
but a collection of unprincipled bandits.
The Chinese government will wipe you out in a fortnight.
:40:25
Perhaps you would like to aid the government
in collecting the price put on my head.
:40:29
Suppose you first tell me just exactly what you are after.
:40:31
I am looking for a hostage
to force the government to return my officer.
:40:36
Now, will you kindly let me see your passport?
:40:49
Captain Harvey, why are you going to Shanghai?
:40:51
I've been ordered to perform an operation
immediately upon my arrival.
:40:55
Who are you going to operate on?
:40:57
I'm not at liberty to reveal that information.
:40:59
What is the matter with his excellency,
the Governor-General of Shanghai?
:41:04
As you can doubtlessly also can read from the paper
you pilfered from my bag, hemiplegia.
:41:09
A medical term known to the layman as paralysis
resulting from a blood clot in the brain.
:41:14
Well, Captain Harvey. It seems I've been fortunate
to find a hostage important enough
to ensure the return of my officer.
:41:22
Surely you will have no objection
if I wire the British Embassy?
:41:26
What if my importance is deemed insufficient
to force the Chinese government to make this exchange?
:41:31
That emergency would be unfortunate for you all.
:41:34
I can't hold this village over twelve hours.
:41:37
- Of course, Captain Harvey,
I hope you won't be too angry with me
if I ensure the safety of your honorable person.
- Not at all.
