:44:04
- Dr Han, Mr Elliott to see you.
- Thank you, Doctor.
:44:07
- What are you doing here?
- I got your message at the office.
:44:10
I called. They said you were in surgery,
so rather than wait, I came on over.
:44:14
I didn't mean that urgent.
:44:16
Is all right. Thank you.
:44:18
- Whas happened?
- We can't talk here. I'm just going off duty.
:44:23
- Would you like to see how I live?
- Sure.
:44:34
Magnificent, isn't it?
The warm-water pipes run under my floor.
:44:39
The cockroaches grow enormous
and fight great duels.
:44:42
They thrive on DDT, so I leave them alone.
:44:45
Now I can visualise your surroundings
when I'm not with you.
:44:48
You look sleepy. You've got marks
of weariness under your eyes.
:44:52
I do a lot of writing at night
:44:54
so I can spend...
:44:57
more time with you.
:44:58
Shall I make you some coffee?
:45:07
Now, what upsets you? Why did you call me?
:45:09
- I'm going to Chungking in the morning.
- Why?
:45:13
I received an urgent cable from my uncle.
:45:16
He is the head of my family
since my mother and father died.
:45:20
Something has happened at home.
Something about Suchen.
:45:24
- Who is Suchen?
- A younger sister.
:45:27
I haven't seen her since... for several years.
:45:31
Can't you handle this
without going to Chungking?
:45:34
Mark, it isn't only Suchen.
:45:38
I want to see China again.
:45:41
To see if it is what I really want to go back to.
:45:45
And also I... I think I must
get away from you for a while.
:45:49
Get away from me? Now, why?
:45:52
To adjust to certain truths
and not let them bother me.
:45:56
Thas foolish nonsense. Unless
you've changed your mind about me.
:45:59
No. But I can't help asking myself
what I will get out of this
