There is a dying patient to pray over.

ERIC:
Of course. Come on.

(BOY SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Go!

Come on! Come on!

You've got two hands, don't you?

Repeat after me.

"I, Hugh."

I, Hugh.

"Take thee, Catherine,

to be my wedded wife."

Take thee, Catherine, to be my wedded wife.

"To have and to hold

from this day forward."

To have and to hold from this day forward.

"For better, for worse."

For better, for worse.

"For richer, for poorer..."

Please, this is a house of God.

Could we have the weapons...

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Captain, you have no right

to be here. Could we just...

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

Captain, you have no right to be here.

We are at war.

(MEN SHOUTING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

No, no, we're, we're

married. We're... Go this way?

No, no, we're together.

We're married. We go together.

No, no. Hold on a second. Hold on.

You can't separate us. We're together!

Hold on!

Catherine is my wife.

Let us live together.

How could you prove?

You can! You were there!

You were at the wedding!

No.

Whom God hath joined together,

let no man put asunder.

My Emperor is the god here.

Huh?

We do not serve false gods.

Please.

You're a big guy. Come on, take my bunk.

We'll get through this, together.

Hey, doc.

David, hey.

I came across this.

I think it's more your style.

Thank you.

Yeah.

(GRUNTS)

Xiao, Xiao. (SPEAKS MANDARIN)

(YELLING)

(WHIMPERS)

(CRYING)

(CONTINUES CRYING)

See?

No!

GUARD:
Get up!

Get up!

Who is Eric Liddell?

Who?

ERIC:
I am!

You go.

- What are you doing?

- Hey!

What? He wants to race?

And train.

I want a fair fight.

When you release us, I will race.

You have no choice.

We found these.

XU:
Xiao Shitou and I

had searched for days.

When we found the camp,

it had been turned into a prison

and more intimidating than

I had ever encountered.

I knew then I would have to

employ the ways of my past

to be of any help to my friend.

(SPEAKS MANDARIN)

Shitou!

(ALL EXCLAIMING IN JOY)

Christmas has come early, Dr. Hubbard.

Good luck.

I missed you so much.

(SOBBING)

God, I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Look at you.

I'll try and shave next time.

(CHUCKLES)

You shouldn't have stayed here.

Hey, hey, hey.

No, no, no.

It's okay. Look.

I made it for you.

No diamonds this time.

You stay, I stay. Remember?

We're going. We're going.

SOLDIER:
Come on!

Come on! She's going, okay?

ERIC:
There's a mountain out here.

You see the little lamb when it's lost,

and we're singing a song

to bring the lamb back.

There were ninety and nine

That safely lay

In the shelter of the fold

But one was

lost On the hills away

Far off from

The gates of gold

Happy, happy, we're gonna get this.

There were ninety

ERIC:
Now, the trees convert

the carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide, C02 into oxygen.

The tree also uses the

process of photosynthesis,

which we talked about earlier.

Now, question, where does

the tree get its water from?

The roots. Yes, the roots.

Stop!

(EXCLAIMING)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

(CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

You got this. Come on!

(CHEERING AND CLAPPING)

Eric! Eric! Eric!

Eric! Eric! Eric! Eric!

Eric! Eric! Eric! Eric!

(WHOOPING)

(EXCLAIMS)

(SHOT FIRES)

(LOUD CHEERING)

- Eric! Eric! Eric!

- (CLAPPING RHYTHMICALLY)

Eric! Eric!

(ALL GROANING)

Damn it.

No, it's not fair!

(EXCLAIMING)

I said it's not fair!

Nicely done.

Come on! Come on!

Look at him! He's starving!

Get off me!

You won today's race the

day Japan invaded China.

No...

Come on! He's down already!

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

We all thank you.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(EXHALES IN PAIN)

Li.

Eric.

Here you go.

They'll kill you. They'll kill you.

How did you get here?

You know, I have my way.

Your ways...

(PANTING)

David. David needs water.

He needs water.

I have something for you.

Eric, you anger the Japanese.

They're going to kill you.

We need to get you out of here.

What good will that do the others?

Hope.

What do they have without you?

(SOLDIER YELLS)

(ALL CLAPPING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Welcome back, chaps.

Can you walk okay?

Sit down here, David.

Okay, Eric, right here.

How are you feeling?

You're back. You're here.

- I'm okay. I'm okay.

- Anything broken?

Eric. Anything I need to know about?

You're okay? You sure?

Get some water in you, and let's

have a look at this eye. Okay?

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

I hear the Japanese keep on

losing battles at the front line.

This is their second time

food truck didn't come.

I made them a deal.

Ten o'clock Saturday night.

Two times a month.

XU:
Life in prison was

taking its toll on everyone,

including the guards.

I made a bargain with

sources inside the prison.

However,

grave danger existed from the guards

who would never bargain away

the Emperor's imperial power.

"N-A." Big "N," small "A."

Sodium mixed with chloride gives

us... What do you sprinkle in the...

Salt.

Xiao Shitou!

Come here. What surprises

do you have for us, huh?

(ALL EXCLAIM HAPPILY)

Here we go.

That's yours.

Xiao Shitou, would you like

me to teach you some chemistry?

Would you like Daisy to

teach you some English?

(EXCLAIMS)

(SPEAKING JAPANESE)

...of the season.

And this time of year when...

When the light of the season...

And they fall!

Sit down, Daisy!

I'm trying to conduct a class!

Let's take a small break.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Is Eric okay?

(GIRL SPEAKING MANDARIN)

(SHUSHES)

(HUMMING TUNE)

(INHALES SHARPLY)

Hey!

Xu Niu!

(WHISPERS IN MANDARIN)

Please.

Please, you've got to get me out of here.

Look... Look at what they've done to me.

Please.

Xu Niu, please, you've got to save me.

They're gonna kill me.

(SPEAKING MANDARIN)

XU:
Come.

Xiao.

Get in.

(SOLDIER SHOUTING)

Who helped David Marshall escape?

No, no!

WOMAN:
Catherine! Catherine! Catherine!

I don't know anything, okay?

I don't know anything!

Stop punishing us.

You're supposed to be

protecting us, not punishing us!

If you have lost our friend,

then you must find him for us.

You will all be punished

until I get a name.

XU:
David had made it out of prison.

He decided to join the

underground resistance forces

to receive and translate news

about Japan's increasing struggles

to win the war.

(CATHERINE PROTESTING)

Catherine. Come on, no, no, no.

You can't help like this.

No!

(CATHERINE SOBBING)

No! No!

- (WHIP STRIKES)

- (GROANS)

Follow my finger.

Both eyes.

It's painful over here.

Right, it's this side, isn't it?

Is that sore?

Deep inside.

Migraines are just more frequent now.

All right, okay.

Stand up.

Both feet.

Sit down.

Oh, my God.

My bunk. Put him on my bunk.

We need some warm water and a cloth.

Okay. Hugh, can you hear me?

Can you hear me, Hugh?

Do you know where you are?
