Formosa Betrayed Page #4
- What is happening here.
- Yes, and you?
How is Mrs. Wen?
Given the circumstances ...
She seems to be a
very strong woman.
The last time I saw her, she
was a shy and beautiful bride.
Wen was very happy.
It's a terrible loss.
You are near
find the killers?
Unfortunately I am forced to
stay out of the investigation.
- They do not allow me much.
- Must be very frustrating.
I am sure.
Who wanted to assassinate
Henry Wen?
Police say the
Mafia is responsible.
Yeah, but do not believe that Wen
had something to do with the mob.
I'm proud of my
Henry Wen student.
He did what I could not do.
- What?
- The supreme sacrifice.
He left his country to try
get the best for his people.
They could be
in your country ... a free country,
in which they could
speak freely.
What you know about
the history of our country?
After the Japanese occupation
World War II,
Chiang Kai-shek and his army
controlled by Mao Tse-Tung
and settled here.
Since then he has
Protected Taiwan
against a possible invasion
Communist China.
I assume that this information
is approved by the government.
This island has been controlled
by foreigners long ago.
To gain control
Chiang Kai-Shek
imposed martial law.
He did not care
people here
were being pursued,
arrested ... tortured.
What mattered was the people here
We were fined for speaking
our own language, Taiwanese.
Wen would be allowed in America
There were 18 million
Taiwanese in these islands,
but less than 2 million
the Chinese dominated.
When President Nixon
shook hands with Mao ...
the government realized that its
days were numbered.
They are desperate.
Desperate enough
to kill an American
on American soil?
"Kill the chicken to
scare the monkey. "
Fear makes us lose
consciousness.
It can transform us
craven cowards too.
I do not want to offend you,
Agent Kelly
but do not understand why their
government sent him here.
You do not seem to be a
specialist in Taiwan.
I was one who could identify
Wen's killers.
But they already know who
killed Professor Wen.
But the important thing is that
all we can say
we seek
do the right thing.
And I owe it to Wen.
We need to finish
Wen's work.
Come on.
Wen sent this to me.
Now we need
reveal its contents.
You do not want to give it to me.
Give me evidence that
I may have.
We all need to believe
something, agent Kelly.
and believed
Henry also
the ideals of the United States.
And you?
Is not concerned with what
might happen to you?
I am the curator of the largest collection
Chinese art world.
I'm still useful
the government.
If not,
I would not be here.
Finally, I also
Thank you, Agent Kelly.
Thanks.
Ming.
See you soon.
Are speaking in Taiwanese,
not in Chinese.
- What is 228?
- February 28, 1947.
Chiang Kai-Shek murdered
It is illegal to talk about it.
- What are they saying?
- Independence.
You and Dr. Huang spoke
by at least 20 minutes.
You knew I was
being followed?
This is not America.
You have exceeded their limits.
You can not
have noticed
but is being followed
since arriving here.
Which side are you on?
I can do to you
the same question.
You're hiding evidence,
helping a Communist spy ...
The government is giving me
information now?
sent as a courtesy.
Let's cut the crap.
Say what you know.
I'll tell you what I know.
A U.S. envoy
was seen at a rally hostile.
The government ordered the Army
that fire on unarmed civilians
they were doing
a peaceful protest.
How would that look like?
- I'm going back to the hotel.
- It's late. Please stay.
- No, not yet ...
- I'll make some tea.
I can not believe they shot
a crowd like that?
They had orders
to do so.
Why?
It was a meeting
democracy.
The government does not want
publicity about the 228.
They did a
great job,
anyone off the island
know about it.
Therefore we suspect
He tried to reveal
the rest of the world.
What happened?
Japanese left after 50 years.
We were very happy.
Then the Chinese began
a civil war.
And the army of Chiang Kai-Shek
began to lose
against Mao Tse-Tung
and the Communists.
The army of Chiang Kai-Shek
began to flee to Taiwan.
At first, we
happy because ...
many of our ancestors
were continent.
But then we started to realize
because they were
losing the war.
It was because they stole from
people on the continent,
the same way
stole from us.
They came to Taiwan and
saw how rich we were.
They acted as if
they owned everything.
On February 28, 1947
met the Taiwanese
and marched to demand
justice and order.
They responded by sending
a battalion to kill us.
They were very specific
about who they killed.
Mataram politicians, businessmen,
journalists, intellectuals ...
Anyone who could
form a government.
A whole generation of leaders.
My father ...
was a civil engineer.
He was taken from our house ...
and washed into the river with
five other men with no luck.
They were tied together ...
then fired at
head of one of them ...
and he drew others to
drown him.
My father was the last
to drown.
Drink your tea.
It is a healing tea.
The Chinese say
we are his brothers.
But if we are their brothers,
why treat us this way?
Thanks.
No.
It's okay.
We know we have
government agents / i
in all major universities
the United States. / i
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
It has a shirt for you.
Thanks.
As Wen was able to
smuggle the tape
with the government pursuing?
Neither our government
can organize
the chaos of our
postal system.
- What's on tape?
- It's a saying in the book of Wen.
A copy. He felt that
was in danger.
About what is the book?
Taiwanese government
and the systematic use
Chinese mob.
Gangs sell drugs and use
the money to buy weapons
other countries including
United States.
They spread fear
spying on the people themselves,
launder money and even kill
political dissidents.
Susan ...
Agent Kelly, where the hell
have you been?
We've been looking
for you all morning.
I do not know what
is happening,
but I suggest that it is
cool, let me talk.
Try not to speak
anything stupid.
Where's Kuo?
- Good morning, gentlemen.
- Good morning.
Thanks for coming.
I would like to take
this opportunity
to reiterate the importance
to the United States
we find Lee Shin Shen.
We are aware of their
concern, Mrs. Kane.
I can assure you we are so
eager to meet him
as you do.
Thank you.
You'll find Lee
or they will kill him?
I saw how efficient are
David Wo holding.
We can all
understand, I am sure,
- Agent Kelly's frustration.
- Please do not.
The agent understands what Kelly
is happening here.
We look forward
to hear him.
Then, perhaps, can tell us
what were you doing there.
