Formosa Betrayed Page #6

Synopsis: In the early 1980s, an FBI Agent is assigned to investigate the murder of a respected professor. Through his investigation, he unearths a spider web of international secrets that has been thriving within college campuses across America for decades. His investigation takes him across the Pacific to the island nation of Taiwan, where with the help of the outspoken widow and an unlikely spy, he learns that the Professor's killing was not a random act, but a desperate move by a scandalous government intent on keeping its nefarious activities under wraps. Our detective soon finds himself on a collision course against the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and the Nationalist Chinese Government - in a land where the truth is not what it seems and the only people he can trust, cannot be trusted at all. Inspired by actual events.

- No. You have to leave.

- It is not safe for you.

- I do not care anymore.

Knows what will happen

if the catch me.

The only thing that matters is

put them safely on this plane.

Welcome to Airport

International Chiang Kai-Shek.

FBI.

He is with me.

You behaved like a

Cowboy since he arrived.

Precipitated and arrogant.

This will cost the U.S.

much political capital in

what you're worth.

I did not come here to see opera.

You can not sacrifice

because of one man.

You will not change anything.

If you think

we must sacrifice

the last bastion that

have against China

you are a traitor

for your country.

Let me tell you one thing:

Wen would reveal the truth about

what is happening here.

He was murdered

by this government.

If that is our policy,

this is what she deserves now.

Just tell them you were

bringing Lee to me.

Yes, of course.

Damn!

What happened?

He wanted to wish me

a good flight.

- You did not call, did not write.

- I was a little busy.

Yeah, you know Daltry

everything that happened.

All actors

this division

shall testify before

a special committee

to explain why the FBI

helped one of its agents

violating the laws of

international law.

I was sent to a

work and did the job ...

You were sent to

observe and report,

not to get our

the only suspect dead

try to smuggle it

illegally across the country.

If we wanted an Elliot Ness

we would eviado Elliot Ness.

I was the only one who was

trying to arrest the suspect.

The only thing you did right

has been delivering that terrorist

the Taiwanese government and

you did it by accident.

Ming was not a terrorist.

I never would have found Lee

without his help.

Now we're

abandoned to die.

This is an internal problem

the Taiwanese government ...

They murdered the

His family, Daltry!

The daughter was deleno

a terrorist.

- It is not our responsibility!

- It is not our responsibility?

And the truth?

It does not matter anymore?

- And the killers Wen?

- They are not our people.

They are not our people?

Wen was an American citizen.

His widow is a U.S. citizen.

Well, there are many people who

not see it that way.

You have evidence that Wen was

killed by the Taiwanese government?

Here because this is still the FBI,

and work with evidence.

And if you want to create a

international incident

you better have something more than just

his word to go ahead.

And I will not risk the

rest of my career

cursed by a bunch of politicians

neither do I care.

Hey!

The Federal Police in Taiwan

accuses him of smuggling

important evidence.

What are they talking about?

And I dunno.

I remember you, Agent,

is a crime to hide evidence.

You signed the same

I vow.

Defend the Constitution

against all enemies,

external and internal.

I did not get the FBI

to observe

while people are

being murdered!

Are you sure

you want to do this?

That is not why

I sent.

You know?

It's just a job.

Okay, eliminate all

the evidence you have.

- Are you talking or Daltry?

- Daltry.

You know, I do not care

what you will do.

We must be faithful

yourself, uh?

Doing the right thing.

Only you know what it is.

It's very Chinese coming from you.

Is it? Coming from you,

I take it as a compliment.

- I see him there.

- Do not be long.

I will miss you.

We know there are agents

the Taiwanese government / i

in all major

U.S. universities. / i

I also walked being watched. / i

I've seen

photographing me / i

outside of my

office at night. / i

I know what I'm

doing is dangerous. / i

Raise your voice and demand change

was always a risk in history. / i

We have suffered enough now. / i

We can not remain

over in silence. / i

Because of events like

those portrayed in this film,

Taiwan became a democracy.

Today China has more than

and has threatened to use force

if it declares independence.

Today there are 23 countries that recognize

Taiwan as a sovereign nation.

The U.S. is not one of them.
