Damn right.

Left. Left. Left.

Platoon, halt.

Open up.

- Yes?

- Get your stuff out.

We've to dynamite this place

to clear a firebreak.

- I don't understand.

- The governor declared Marshall Law.

You've ten minutes.

Keep moving!

Africa, quickly!

Look out for those

burning beams!

Go this way.

Make way for the fire wagons!

We can't save it.

That the end of that.

Everybody move back.

Chop-chop.

I can't hold it anymore.

The whole place is about to go.

Doctor, i suppose

you're happy now.

Where's Wu Chow's Auntie?

- The Chinese won't leave.

- They're hiding everywhere.

Make way for

the fire wagon.

I've been over half Honolulu

looking for you.

You've got to come

to Chinatown with me.

The old people won't leave,

they don't know English.

I only speak Hakka.

At least is Chinese.

She's with me.

Mei Li, come with me.

There's still people

on the next street.

Get some water, quick!

She said the government

will pay them. It won't.

Quiet. Is no time for details.

Where have you been?

Looking for you.

Take him, he's heavy.

You stay with me.

There should be 458 dollars here.

And we owe 96,000.

It looks like we're more than broke.

Don't sell vegetable patch.

I guess we were squeezing

too many people in here.

I have to admit it...

Is better off gone.

You're not broke.

I'm better off

than i was before.

I've got cash to buy this land

for what ill bring now.

Dirt cheap.

I guess the Chinese will

hate me for that.

What about you?

I'll never hate you, Captain.

You know, if Mei Li were

to marry Noel...

it may heal a lot of wounds.

No good. Hoxworth up here,

Kee down there.

I know what you really think.

Hoxworth down there, Kee up there.

You know, Mei Li is supposed

to marry the smart Wong boy.

You never cared much for being

Auntie to your own children?

But, at least you had

the man you wanted.

Never mind, i guess you can't

let her marry a white boy.

I'll still let you borrow

any cash you need.

96,000 dollars.

96,000 dollars?

And a bit more to buy bit

of land while is cheap.

And Mei Li marry Noel.

You know,

I'm a damn lucky man.

At my age i still

have a goal in life...

to keep you from getting my shirt.

Wu Chow's father...

I know you're bothered that

Mei Li's marrying a white man...

but remember that

all the sons...

have married as well

as you could hope.

Asia has six children.

Africa, seven.

Australia has five

and another will come soon.

Europe, remember

we worried about him...

he has two.
