HAVE A HOLIDAY IN JAPAN.
COUNTRY OF THE RISING SUN.

Let go of me!
Let go of me!

I don't want to get In there...
I've got nothing to...



You brutes!
You'll see... . I'll show you...

Here's my passport.

Will you give me
my passport back?

What do you think you're doing?
Why...

So...
What's your feeling, my dear Krall?

Within 15 days, Canton will fall.

And you'll be thrown out of here.

Providence won't allow that
to happen, my dear Krall.

It will provide us with weapons.

Allow me, General,
to be somewhat cautious.

You? always the same.

A glass of milk, my dear Krall?

Is that an insult?

I haven't got any whisky.
- It doesn't matter.



I'm going down to the wine cellar.

There it is!

I've got all the weapons you need.

Where?

A hundred miles from here.

I've got enough to provide
20,000 soldiers

with guns and ammunition.
I've got enough to provide
20,000 soldiers

with guns and ammunition.

You're that rich?

Yes, why wouldn't I be?

I was told you were flat broke.

It's a rumor spread by my competitors.

The rumor also says you're a drinker,
a woman chaser and a gambler.

Vile prate. No more.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

And neither is there fire without cannons.
Nor cannons without money.

I've got the money.

I can get you machine guns,

rifles, ammo.
Hand grenades.

I'm not sure about TNT.

How much?

How much?

900,000 dollars.

600.
- What? 600!

You think I'm going to risk
my life and my freedom for so little.

That's ridiculous!

All right.

I want 150,000 right now.

And the rest... .
cash on delivery.

No, my dear Krall.
- What do you mean : no?

Macao is the city
of gambling and women, is it not?

Some sort of huge gambling house...

You don't trust me, do you?

Not for 150,000 $,
my dear Krall.

I'm always straight
in business matters.

I remember being told something

about cartridges loaded with sawdust.

More rumors.

So, I've decided never
to pay anything in advance.

Nothing?

When I say "nothing"
I mean 20,0003.

It's impossible! It's too little!

I can't do better, my dear Krall.

Can you repeat?

What are you saying?

Why did you leave
the lnternational Concession?

Well... you know...
The International Concession has become

a life imprisonment Concession.

I heard you have been working
for the enemy.

I did? You're kidding!

If I worked for them
I wouldn't be flat broke!

No, Sir. I'm a professional dancer.

You are?
- I swear. I was at the Canton Coliseum.

In the show.
I did the ruby and camellia.

The ruby and camellia?

It was you?
- Yes.

You were gorgeous.

It does not say what you
were doing in town.

Well... Excuse me!

Thanks to my friend Krall,
you're free, Miss.

Really?

Krall... Don't forget...
The 27th. In Kinfu.

I won't.

Thank you.

You're God here, aren't you?

Let's say... I'm a good devil...

What will you do now?

I wonder...

I've 9011 franc In my bag
and a 12 cent stamp.

What about leaving then?

I'd say : a ship...
what do you say?

I've got one.
- No kidding?

It's true.
- What is it? A battleship?

No... I've got my yacht.

You've got a yacht, all to yourself?

To myself.

What is it called?

Amouna.

It's a pretty name.

And do you think you could
give me a lift to Marseilles?

No. Not In Marseilles.
I'll be going to Macao.

And would you wish to come,
I'd take you there.

We'll be there in 2 days' time.

Macao In China is somewhat
like Monte Carlo at home?. .

Exactly.

It seems a good idea...

Let's go!

Mr... I forgot your name...

Werner Von Krall.

Mireille!

Thank you.

Take this!

This ls...
the Princess's cabin.

And the Stewart will bring you towels.

Bring the lady
a bathrobe and some towels.

Please excuse the poor service.

I had to leave
the chambermaid in Hong Kong.

She was too sensitive.
She couldn't bear the bombings.

Don't worry about me.
I'm used to traveling without a maid.

lam not.

That cabin is for me alone?

Of course.
Why wouldn't 'it be?

What about you?

Me...
I have the cabin next to yours.

Like It?
- I'd be hard to please!

A bath, a shower...

Flowers.

Orchids!
As if I were a star!

It's funny...
Looks like you were expecting me!

You always expect the woman you meet.

And I didn't delay you?

You came just at the right time.

Some time earlier,
some time later and...

it was over!

Let's not think of that!

I wouldn't have had the pleasure
of meeting you.

And who told you
it will be a pleasure?

I did.

See you in a little while.

Come in!

No way to leave port.

The crew won't.

A mutiny!
- Almost!

You smell garlic!

Mint?

Now, commander, ls no time for jokes!
It is serious this time...

Yes... But I don't like
that garlic smell...

Right... But the crew
don't like working for nothing.

They haven't been paid for 2 months.

Fire those who are discontent.
As simple as that.

No one ls happy. I'd have
to get rid of the whole crew.

Who cares? I'll hire others.

With what money?

What money?

I've just had
my biggest ammunition order ever.

General Lin-Tse.
Half a million.

Dollars!

Dollars!
- 80?...
Dollars!

Dollars!
- 80?...

And we start loading,
the men will get double pay.

In a couple of days.

I can tell them?
- Of course.

A mint?
- With pleasure.

You can keep the box.

Thank you, Sir!

And now...
let's head to Macao?

Full speed!

All right, Sir!

Not the right way to serve!
Where are your white gloves?

Wait!

Have this ironed!

Come in!

I thought you did not have
time to take all your luggage.

Yes, I left my 22 trunks at the hotel.

And what do you feel
about that dress?

What I feel')...

You must have sailed
across the Place Vendôme...

Among other places... yes!

It's a 42... I hope...
- Just the right size...

You're a dressmaker tool

Not really... A collector...

Oh darn It!
There're resources on your yacht.

If Zaza could see me now...
- Who's Zaza?

A friend who was doing
"the vital space " in the show...

But, tell me...
whose dress was this?

It's yours, of course!

Yes... But before?

You collect women too?

Indeed I do.
Of course!

Well... here we are...
- Yes!

Would you help me?

I hope you'll have nice dreams.

What are looking at?

The seagulls...
I love seagulls.

Don't you?
- Do I? I can't see any seagulls.

Why don't you go
and pack up, Miss Marguenon?

Is it an order?

Only a piece of advice.
We're almost there.

Come with me, then.

I've already packed my luggage, Miss.

She won't leave you one minute!
- Poor woman!

Dad sent her 300 $ worth of cables

To recommend her not to leave me
until we got to Macao.

Your dad's nice?

He is a banker!
- He's got a golden heart!

Of course!

I haven't seen him for 2 years.

No kidding!

He'll find me changed.
I'm a free woman.

Great!
Let freedom live!

Anyway... I'm glad you finished
studying this year.

Why?

We were able to meet...

What are you going to Macao for?

Gambling... And If I have got time,
send news to the Havas Press Agency.

Gambling... And If I have got time,
send news to the Havas Press Agency.

Write a piece about arm smugglers.

There are some in Macao?

Some people say so.

Oh, so sorry about that!

I am pleased.

I met the best of girls.
- All French men are liars.

I am a French man.

So?

I like you so much!

Dad!

And you too Father!

Come on in! Come on!
- Can you drop me at the Continental?

A Frenchman! I've asked the Saints
and the Virgin to send me a Frenchman...

And here you are!

No! No!
That's not what I came for.

You are really lucky to meet me!

Because such as you see me...
I am some sort of lucky fetish.

Because such as you see me...
I am some sort of lucky fetish.

You touch the top of my spinal column
three times and you win at every game.

Roulette, baccarat...
Everything...
You touch the top of my spinal column
three times and you win at every game.

Roulette, baccarat...
Everything...

How much do you charge?
- 12 S for the artistic comments,

and 50 if you win.

You swear you're leaving me
for one hour only... and that

we'll spend the evening together.

I swear... See you soon!

And here we are
on the street of loteria.

What's the canary doing?
- Eating the numbers!

The winning numbers?
- How can we know as he eats them?

Strange country!

Is this local entertainment?

Yes... It's for those who
love living dangerously!

They're racketeers...

Good day, Father. I'm sorry
I kept you waiting.

Mr Lin Chai... For us, waiting is praying.

Here It ls. For the poor.
- How can I thank you?

You mustn't thank Yin Chai.
Yin Chat thanks you.

See you soon.

Girls! Your legs!

Here it is boss!

The "Surya" had not paid their fees.
So we paid ourselves.

With a bonus.

All right.

Next time, he'll understand!

The fisheries are reluctant too...

Sink 2 or 3 of their boats...

and close down the fisheries.

We've delivered the scrap Iron
for the Fen Yang junks. No problem.

What about the water?
- We control all drinking water.

We ration it. Don't worry!

Gambling?

Baccarat brought In
200,000 S last night.

Fan Tan?
- 100,000

Perfect!

Fan Tan?
- Let's go!

Play number 3
- Number 3? Why?

The 3 will win.
I'm quite sure.

As 1 plus 1 make 3.

All right. Let's play number 3.

Put it in here.

Three dollars going down, right?

What are you saying?

Nothing. I pray for It
to multiply.

Number 3 wins.

I knew you were lucky :
like white glass, 4-leaf clover

Right... I'll keep you as
my good luck charm.

Fifty dollars.

Wait... I'm still playing!

To have results, you must bum
incense to the High and Mighty.

And what about the lucky charm?

You just need to grease his palm.

Have this!
And don't gamble!

Quite funny, this!

Feels like you're catching crawfish!

Excellency! I'm not worthy
of tying your shoe laces.

How much?

Oh... In a while, Excellency!

If you like the Information
or rather... the indiscretion.

I damn myself
for your sake, Excellency!

Talk now!

For you, I'm going
to betray my friend colonel Yasuda.

He's worried.
- Why?

He got a call yesterday warning him
of Krall's arrival in Macao.

Krall?
- Yes... Krall.

News aren't good, are they?

He can pay?

Who knows? Sometimes
he's as wealthy as you, Excellency,

sometimes almost as poor as Almaido.

Don't worry!
No money, no guns!

You'll know all about it, Excellency!

Are you interested in this?

Whatever happens,
Almaido remains the same.

Fifty dollars!
Thank you, Excellency!

Up there?

There's a guy who wins
too much at Fan-tan.

Over 10,000 i.

At fan tan?

The foreigner In a white jacket.
Can you see him?

Good news coming!

Oh, lucky guy!

Winning again?

Enough for a nice dinner!

Shall we get it back?

Yes... As usual!

There's a guy
over there in the water!

You're seeing things!

Must be a shark!

A talking shark!

Get hold of the gaff!

Go tell the commander to slow down.

What have you got?

I lost again.

I've already lost
my castle in Touraine,

my Cannes villa
and my limousine.

I'll gamble my diamond necklace.

No... I can't accept!

You can!
- Not your diamonds, no.

Give me a chance to win my losses back.

There you are.
You lost!

If It had not been for fun,
I'm sure I would have won.

Maybe...
Tonight in Macao...

you'll have the opportunity
to gamble seriously.

Is that true?
- Yes.

Tell me...
I think I'll be indiscreet.

What job do you do?

Me?
- Yes.

Nothing...
I'm very wealthy.

Especially since I took
everything you owned.

Come in!

Sir!
- Yes?

We've just fished out a drowned man.

A drowned man?
Put him back to sea.

But he's alive!

All the more reason...

- Don't do that.
- No?

No...
- Excuse me.

Where ls he?
- Soaking on deck.

Dear Krall.
Imagine meeting you here!

Great!
You go bathing at night?

Among the sharks.

Preparing an article?

A trivial piece of news.
I'll tell you about it.

Assault, armed robbery.
You might not believe it,

but I'm broke.

Allow me... My friend, Pierre Meunier,
from the Havas press agency.

Miss Mireille.
- Glad to meet you.

The drowned man?

But you're wounded...
- No it's nothing.

I'm intruding.

Don't be silly!
Come, you'll catch cold.

Things are not good, Sir.

The crew is still angry.

If they're not paid tomorrow,
they'll take it badly.

They will be paid.

No doubt.
- I hope so.

I'd like to see Mr Werner Krall.

The skipper is ashore.
I'd like to see Mr Werner Krall.

The skipper is ashore.

What a pity!

I could have been much help to him.

No one is allowed on board.

Now, now. Why?
- Because it's forbidden.

Let him come on board.
He might be bringing dough.

You shut up!

You're expecting some money?

Mr. Krall is a generous man, isn't he?

Indeed, he is!

That's enough. Get on shore.

Why get angry?
Every one needs money, right?

I need money too...

Get off the boat!

Do go to bed, Miss.

Excuse me... I'm exhausted.

She's exhausted!

Finished?
- I really wanted to be with you.

Is it true that we shall leave Macao?

It's true.
- Where shall we go?

I don't know.
- Far from China? To Europe?

May be.

I know. Let's go to France.

To France? Why?

It was mum's country.
And...

And?

Dad... look at me...

What?
- Tell me... Can't you see it?

I thought you'd guess.

He's nice, you know...
- Who?

He's very nice.

Tall, sporty, handsome...
- French?

He is a great journalist.

In love?

And I'm 18.
Can you believe it?

Where ls he?
- Here. In Macao.

I hope I'll like him.
- I'm sure of it.

You give me everything
without my asking for anything.

You want... that journalist?
- Don't make me ask you.

You're asked on the phone, Sir.

Oh... he's there?

Right! I'm coming.

Here's 15,000 S

I'm scared
- Scared of what?

Scared of losing.

That's wonderful!
In that case, you're sure to win.

100 at the bank.
Any one says "banco"?

Madame, 700 $

A nice start!

100$ plus 800$.
How much is it?

About 55,000 francs.

I'll be back

Who is she?

She's with Werner von Krall.

Very pretty woman.

I've never seen her before.
She's French.

French?

French.

Excellency... I've got tips.

The Amouna crew
is not allowed on shore.

Bad atmosphere! Very bad!

Why?
- Krall can't pay the crew.

Thank you.

Excellency... It's fortunate
that you can pay Almeido.

Here you are!

Captain Von Krall.

Let "Monsieur" Krall in.

Captain Von Krall?
- Indeed.

- Cigarette?
- Thank you.

Whisky?
- With pleasure. With you.

No, I don't drink.
- I do.

I can see you have no vice.

I exploit those of the others.

And that's enough to live?

What do I owe the pleasure?

I need 100 Mauser machine-guns,

model 21
with 1 million cartridges.

3000 Mauser rifles,
model 21,

caliber 0. 38.

with 500,000 cartridges.

And 1000 kilos TNT.

I've got the goods.
- Perfect.

How much?

500,000 dollars.

It's a deal!

And... you pay?

20,000 at first delivery...

and...
- No!

Why "no"?

Listen to me, Excellency...

I have no trick up my sleeve.

I'd rather see the money first.

But I'll give you...
- Give me everything. At once.

Otherwise...

But It's Impossible, Excellency.
No one can pay everything in advance.

This is not the way things are done.

This is the way I do things.

And what's your last word?

Cash!

Thank you.
And... see you soon.

Excellency...

I have no doubt.

Look!
- How much?

45,000.
- 45 thousand!

Yes!

Shall we go?
- ' Course not. Keep on playing!

You must follow your luck.

Nine!'

The bank wins!

What now?

You lost?
I'll take your place.

Go and have a drink at the bar.

10,000.
- Banker!

Champagne cocktail.

Madam? A gentleman is asking for you.

So fast!

No... This way!

Pardon me, Sir.
There must be some mistake.

No, Madam.
- Who are you?

The owner of the place.

What do you want from me?

Sit down!

Some champagne?
- No thank you.

How much did you win at baccarat?

What...
- $35,000.

It's too much.

You want your money back?

No, keep them.
- You bet I will...

But I could take them back.

No kidding!

How would you?
By strength?

I'm not alone.

What do you want from me?

That? No way.

I'll wait for you tomorrow...

What? And there will be
some caviar, bird's nest soup...

Better and better.
- You will come?
What? And there will be
some caviar, bird's nest soup...

Better and better.
- You will come?

You take everything
for granted, do you?

You're funny, aren't you?
- Here. Tomorrow.

- I'll wait for you.
- Can I go now?

About tomorrow's supper...

If I am not there yet at midnight,
eat without me.

I'll wait for you...

If you see me here tomorrow,
it'll mean I'm sleepwalking.

$25,000. Banker!

Eight.

Nine.
The bank wins.

Pay the gentleman.
I'll write you a Banco!.

Changer!
- Coming.

Have $25,000 fall down.
- $25,000.

Phone early morning
at the Barclays' Bank, Hong Kong.

Come and see Macao's curiosities.

I'm a lucky charm. Really lucky.

A small shark!
A small shark!

You're making a mistake.
I didn't do anything.

The others did. I swear.

What's wrong with your eye?
- Who did it? Who did it?

It's the Eldorado.
- The Eldorado?

Yes, It's the owner...
- What?

The Eldorado owner?

- 50 dollars!
- 50 dollars!

Mr. Milley.

Hello.
- Hello, Pierre.

What's wrong with you?

I'm scared.
- Scared?

Scared of what?
- Of the dragon.

Of the dragon?
You mean Miss Marguenon...

She's out.
Dad will be glad to meet you.

Shall we kiss?

Why not?

Pierre Milley. Havas Press agency.
What do you think?

Nice. Isn't he?

This ls my father.
What do you think of him?

Pleased to meet you, Sir.

So am I, Mr. Milley.

Say something. Why don't you?

How do you like Macao, Sir?

Yes... No...
It depends.

He is somewhat ill-bred.
Excuse him, dad.

When you think that on
my first night in Macao

I was thrown at sea.

What?
- Really?

- Yes.
- Shall we?

I had won too much money
at the Eldorado casino

where my story was taking me.
And it is forbidden.

Gambling?
- No, winning.

But they've got a great trick.

The poor lucky guy ls followed,
put on a boat, dispossessed

and thrown out to the sharks.
To teach him how to lose.

And do you know who organizes this
surprise-party, if I may say so...

Sit down.

Thank you.

The Eldorado manager himself.
- It's a shame.

Is this man's name known?

Do you know him, sir?

- I?
- I told you he was ill-bred.

Anyway... Powerful or not,
I swear I'll find him.

And I'll take him down.

Take him down?
- Yes, I'll have him thrown in jail.

Bravo!
He's wonderful, isn't he?

He's nice.

A cable for you, Sir!

Demand delivery of weapons tomorrow
night. Later, useless.

Excuse me.

I was feeling lonely.
I wanted to see someone.

Talk a little.
- Thank you.

And I'm only someone.

No…
- I understand.

You know... Some days
you feel blue.

Yes... I know that too.

But I'm less lucky than you are.

I've always been my only friend.

And you still are?

Yes...

Why don't you trust me?
I feel I could understand.

Who knows?
I might even be able to help you.

Why would you?

Didn't you get me out of this mess
I was in in Canton?

What a mess!

It was only selfishness
on my part. No more.

I can be selfish too.

Tell me...
You won't tell me?

What?
- Tell me about your trouble.

How do you know I'm in trouble?

Easy. Take this, for example.

You didn't carry this yesterday.

Your false joy doesn't hide anything.

And those boats surrounding us
since morning...

You're good.
You're near.

It's serious, isn't it?

What is it?

A billet-doux.
From general yin-Tse.

If tomorrow I don't deliver
the weapons he partly paid,

It will be my turn to face
the firing squad.

You remember the small
farm courtyard in Canton?

A handkerchief as a blindfold,
eight Mauser bullets

and the "coup de grace"
with an automatic pistol.

And it's finished.

And you can't deliver...

It's somewhat difficult.

I haven't got the weapons.

Neither do I have
the money to buy them with.

I understand.

You're the same sort
of millionaire as I.

Not even that.

I signed a cheque at the Eldorado.
A rubber cheque.

And If I survive, I'll get
three years... forced labor.

It does not matter though...
I'm young...

Then cheque was for 'fin Chem?

Yes.

And the funny part ls
that Yin Chai is the only man

in Southern China

who trades modern weapons.

'Fin Chan?

Tell me... What if I went?

Where?
- See Yin Chai.

What for?

I think I can square it all.

And how will you?

I know how.

You'd do that for me?
- Why not?

You're the first man who
gave me and took nothing in exchange.

But I have got nothing to give you.

Nothing.

I'm not asking for anything.

I live from hand to mouth.

Soldier of fortune.

So do I.

What's the risk?

Mr Yin Chai.

This way... Proceed please.

Nice evening.

I can't believe my eyes.

So you... you're the...

Allow me...

Please do.

Poor Jasmine!
- What?

Nothing...
I was thinking of something else.

A ship leaves Macao
at 7 tomorrow morning.

I've booked a passage for you.

Very kind of you!
Coffin class probably!

Here's your money.

The house pays back.
Great!

It helps to have
a relationship in the family.

Keep an eye on him
until he leaves.

Why? Afraid
of my talking to Jasmine?

Take him away.

The poor darling knows nothing.

Worries me to think of father in law
hanging some day in some town square

at the end of a rope.

Nice!

I'll be gambling very little.
- You're crazy!

You're crazy to take me
in such a place.

There's nothing to fear
since I'm with you.

The Eldorado!
What if your father knew about that?

I'll tell him.
- You will?

He'll be quite pleased.

Place your money in this small basket.

In this basket? They have
a strange way to pick grapes here!

Sleepwalking?
- Yeah!

Why did you come?

Don't know!
- You don't?

Yes... To see... Surprised, right?

No!

May I?

Anxious?

Some. I'm not used to this, you know.
Never done it before.

So... Do you like me?

No.
- I don't?

How strange!
- I knew someone once...

who looked a lot like me.
I know.

You're all the same.
I've heard that before.

He let you come?

Hey? Who do you mean?

He sent you, didn't he?

Who do you mean?

Captain Von Krall!

I'm nothing to Krall.

If it was not for that weapon thing,

you wouldn't be here.

Krall is nothing to me.

He forced you to come.

I came of my own free will.

His 25,000 $ cheque is not funded.

You invited me to talk about Krall?

A simple phone-call
and Krall is arrested.

Oh no, you won't do that.

You want that cheque, don't you?

Here it is.

Not very clever, ls he?
Your captain Von Krall.

A small, very small adventurer.

Small fish. And he uses women.

It's not true.

Don't you want to know
where the weapons are?

Leave me alone. I didn't ask anything.

What did you expect
coming here?

I don't know.

Me?

It's all right.
Will you?

I intend to keep
you by my side.

What?

I'm keeping you.

Sorry, there's a misdeal.
I've come...

for one night only.

I want to leave at once.

It didn't work as you thought.

Sit down!

I won't.
Sit down!

I won't.

You won't run very far.
In Macao I do as I please.

Leave me alone!
Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

To the harbor!

Actually, Miss Marguenon,
you're a woman of passion.

That's right!...
Will you keep silent!

What happened to him,

He was thrown pepper in his eyes.

A woman it seems!

Yes, the boss!
- Yin Chai, the manager?

Come on! Everybody out!

What are you doing here?

He's my...
- Come on, come on! Out!

Let me pass!

Jasmine!

Dad!

As far as the rubber
cheque is concerned...

it's settled now.

I did It for you.
For you!

I'm sorry.

What do you want, girl?

I want to see Mr Pierre Milley.

You're unlucky, dearie.
Mr Milley is not here.

He's not back yet?
- No!

Can I speak to you, captain?
- Of course.

But who are you?

Yin Chai's daughter.

Come this way!

Come in!

This is Pierre Milley's cabin.
You can wait for him.

You're sure that he'll be back?
- We won't leave with him.

Thank you, captain.

Right. Now I'll tell Mr. Krall.

Captain!

Do you think he'll agree
to have me on board?

Who? Mr. Krall?
I'm quite sure of that, Miss Chai.

Without any condition?
- Without any condition.

A daughter is invaluable, right?

So... We agree?
- Banco!

You're a gambler too?

Sometimes...
When it's worth the risk.

Good luck!

Hey captain!
Where are you going?

He's going away!
- Bastard! He abandons us!

Can't you see he agrees with Krall?

Come on, guys. The time has come!

Let's get the hell away from here!
- Let's go!

Stop, you fools!
You want to be killed

by Yin Chai's machine-guns?

Stop!

Listen to me!

Yin Chai's daughter is on board.

Don't you understand?

What did you say about
Yin Chai's daughter being on board?

Where were you?

Quiet, darling!
- What's going on?
Where were you?

Quiet, darling!
- What's going on?

They're shooting at us.

We've got to leave this boat.

Locked!

I'm the "Amouna"'s skipper.
And I'm coming on Werner Krall's behalf.

About that small weapons' deal.

No.
- What do you mean "no"?

Mr Yin Chai, you...
- No use insisting.

Excuse me, Mr Yin Chai.
I also have news of your daughter.

Where is she?

On the "Amouna".

You kidnapped her?

I don't know about that.

I'll have you bombed.

No, not the right way.

Let's talk, you and I.

How much?

Who?
- You.

Oh but I'm not for sale.

What do you want?

You know very well what Krall wants.
He wants weapons.

And how can I get my daughter back?

If you accept,
we'll let her go in Hong Kong.

After weapons' delivery.

Will you accept?

I don't know.

What?

In one hour, the "Amouna"
will be cleaned out.

Yes. Totally cleaned out.

No. It mustn't be.

Have them stop firing immediately.

I have an agreement with Krall.

You got it? You heard me?

All right, Excellency.

You'll find the weapons
at Lepers' island.

At Lepers' island. All right.

Go away now. Quickly.

My daughter must be unharmed.

Don't worry, Mr. Yin Chai.

It's done! The deal is settled!

Did he accept easily?

Yes well...
- What about the weapons?

They'll be delivered straight away.
At Lepers' island.

Lepers' Island?
What about his daughter?

We'll disembark her afterwards.
In Hong Kong.

Right! Raise anchor.
We're heading towards Lepers' Island!

No doubt about It : Krall
is using us as hostages.

Coming on board the “Amouna",
you gave Krall a real advantage.

What will he do with us?

I don't know.
In any case, we're staying together.
What will he do with us?

I don't know.
In any case, we're staying together.

Of course...

Pierre... do you remember when you were
sending me signals on the "Singapore"?

Hurry up! everyone's is at he back.
Take the cutter in front and leave.

No kidding?

You mustn't waste time.

Are you coming with us?
- No... I'm needed here.

Why are you doing this?

Why? By sentimentalism.
I won't have another opportunity.

Thank you.

Now, run!
I'll take care of the rest.

Good morning, Mr. Yasuda!

I've got news.

You're coming for your 503?

I've come to earn them, Mr. Yasuda.

Krall's yacht... The Amouna
is carrying weapons to the Chinese.

What?

The deal was settled a few days ago.

Unfortunately, I don't know where
the Amouna is right now.

We'll find out.

Thank you.

Excuse me...

Excuse me, Excellency.
I didn't understand.

Good morning, Excellency!

All your orders have been carried out.
And it's really a wonder.

Leave me alone.

So... Krall paid you?

I hope so.

What do you mean?
Aren't you sure?

Yes. He paid.

I wonder where he could
find the money.

You don't know?

Excellency... Krall, paid or not,
will see...

What?

I expect thanks.

What have you been doing?

In less than one hour,
machine-guns and ammo

will reach the bottom of the sea.

A master's move, Excellency.

I simply hand-signaled
the Japanese bombers.

How much ls that small
favor worth, Excellency?

You did that?

Do you know who Is
on board the Amouna?

On board the Amouna?
No, excellency.

No. Don't, Excellency.

No, Excellency. Don't shoot me.

Don't shoot, Excellency.

Jasmine!
