Daughter of the Dragon Page #4

---

Confuses Ah Kee.

In this wine, we pledge our troth.

Ah Kee pledges his love.

And his life to Ling Moy.

And in return ..

He gives the counterfeit of love!

Why have you poisoned

the wine, and our love?

It is an unworthy suspicion.

What is Lu Chung doing here?

What do you want with Petrie?

Why is he lying senseless there?

One answer will serve for everything.

I am the daughter of Fu Manchu.

You?

You will not kill him.

By my sacred oath.

But an oath .. should

never have been sworn.

I tell you to release him.

That cannot be.

I warn you.

I have a duty to Scotland Yard.

Consider carefully

before you leave to do it.

If you try, and I'm forced to leave.

They will kill you.

I do not want your blood on my hands.

I cannot delay.

But I see before me.

The magnet of your house.

We shall search out

these things, Ah Kee.

Remember only, that you love me.

Whoever I am.

I always hated the name of Fu Manchu.

Forget that hate. I am a woman.

Where is your hatred against our love?

Against our eternal day together.

It is the triumph of irony.

That the only woman

I have ever deeply loved.

Should be born of blood that I loathe.

Look into my eyes, Ah Kee.

And see us already

sailing home to China.

To the place you know.

Where the flowers smother the fields.

Would you love .. a dishonoured Ah Kee?

Forever.

And I would forever despise him.

Finish Petrie.

You honest fool.

It was not for myself, but for your own

life that I played in love with you.

You have chosen to die.

Get him!

Stand back, Morloff.

Mr Morloff.

Shush.

What's happened?

Are you alone?

Come here .. I need your help.

Do not his manners plead for death?

Tie him up.

But Princess.

Quick Lu Chung. We waste time.

Take him to the attic.

Yes.

Chair.

Now, we go to the cellar.

Ronald .. Ronald.

Ling Moy.

I was afraid.

Oh you are safe, then?

What happened to me?

Ling Moy rescued you.

For her own.

These lights they are ..

Swimming in my brain.

I've never seen you looking

more softly beautiful.

[ Female screams! ]

That's Joan.

What's she doing here?

What's happening to her?

[ Female screams! ]

Answer me! What's happening to her?

Can you think of her now?

[ Female screams! ]

Why is she screaming like that?

You refuse the gift of Ling Moy's heart?

Very well.

I will take you to her.

Follow me.

Joan, where are you?

Joan, what is it?

Morloff, what's happening?

Joan, my darling. What

have they done to you?

Oh, it's Morloff.

Morloff!

Why, you ..

What's the meaning of this,

Ling Moy? Are you mad?

Look into my eyes.

Set her free, do you hear me.

Ling Moy. I can't believe such

loathsome jealousy in you.

No love now.

No jealousy.

Just merciless vengeance.

You will understand when

I tell you, Ronald Petrie.

I am the daughter of Fu Manchu.

You?

You death tonight washes

the stain from my house.

Alright .. you can do

what you like with me.

But why do you hold Joan?

Because you must have

a thousand bitter tastes.

Of death .. before you die.

Tie him up.

My vengeance is inspired tonight.

You'll have the torture to see her beauty

slowly eaten away by this hungry acid.

You wouldn't dare to that!

Prepare.

Flinders .. Flinders, see who that is.

Yes, milady.

Lady Petrie .. has Ronald shown up yet?

I thought he was with you.

Well he was.

Rogers

Oh, they've got Ronald.

Go upstairs and don't worry.

We are going to have a talk.

With Mr Morloff. Come along, Hobbs.

Mr Morloff, please.

He is away. I am alone.

Nobody here?

Nobody.

Do you believe her, sir?

I think Morloff is in there.

Of course he is.

She's a bad liar.

No, no .. they may be watching us.

We'll go to the Petrie House.

And work from there. Come on.

Great heavens! It's Ah Kee.

That's alright, Ah Kee.

Quick.

They are killing them.

Killing them.

Quick, you fellows.

Carry him into the Petrie house.

Hobbs, Tony.

Quick. All of you, follow me.

It is ready.

Morloff, revive her.

Oh, Ronnie.

Stop it, Ling Moy!

In heaven's name .. it's inhuman.

Oh Ronnie, don't let them do it.

Anything but that.

Anything but that.

Stop!

Ling Moy is merciful.

Lao .. untie his arms.

The knife.

Kill her.

No.

Oh please kill me, Ronnie.

I'd rather die that way.

No, no, no!

They've found us, they've found us!

They've found us, they've found us!

No, no .. the acid!

Shoot! Kill that man! Shoot!

Ronald, you alright?

I'm alright, Sir Basil.

Take care of Joan.

Basil.

What is it?

We've got them all,

but the girl and Lu Chung.

Don't let her escape, Sir Basil.

They disappeared, sir as if they'd

walked through the walls.

Nonsense. They must be in the

house. Come along, Hobbs.

Walked through the walls?

Ronald .. I know where they've gone.

What on earth are you talking about?

They've walked through the walls.

I know where they've gone.

What?

That night the intruders came.

I thought I saw someone

disappearing. Oh do come with me.

Take care of Miss Marshall.

Bring her into the house.

Ronnie .. Ronnie!

Turn out that lights.

When I shout, turn them all off.

Lights!

Put up your hands!

Stop Ling Moy! Stop.

I got him.

Good man.

Get Sir Basil.

I'll take care of her.

Let me surrender.

In the spirit of the House of Fu.

Ronald.

Joan.

[ Gunshot! ]

Did you hear that?

What's happened?

Steady .. steady, Ah Kee.

Lover.

Ling Moy.

But lovers .. need not .. love.

But only .. be loved.

But Ah Kee .. loved you.
