She needs to prove it.

Go on.

"I do hereby declare

this contract

is binding in the State

of California

in the year

of our Lord 1871..."

Do you want me to go on?

No.

I don't know what the hell's

going on, but I know him...

and I don't know you.

So I want you and your men

to get the hell out of here.

We don't need your kind

of trouble in this town.

And you,

I want you to crawl back

in the hole

that you crawled out of.

Stay away from my men!

This isn't the Wild West!

This is Los Angeles!

Come on.

Go.

You.

Hey, you. I said go.

Go!

[in Chinese]

[mewling]

[in Chinese]

[laughing]

[in English]

You are a little man.

You have no vision.

[in Chinese]

[in English] How?

By kowtowing

to the white man?

All these people know

and understand is power.

I am the one; not

a little man like you.

Can make them respect us.

[in Chinese]

[man]

[people muttering

in Chinese]

[laughing, chattering]

Hey, friends...

The Chinamen are gonna

go to war.

Once they are busy

fighting each other,

we will go down there

and we will clean them out.

[assent]

We will send John Chinaman

back to where he came from!

Am I right?

Am I right?!

[crowd cheering]

[grunting in pain]

[in Chinese]

[men continue yelling]

In 15 minutes,

I will walk down N*gger Alley.

Policemen will cover me

from behind.

When I get

to the general store,

I will give you all a sign.

Then it's every man

for themselves.

Whatever you find

you can keep.

[Yu Hing]

Gentlemen, let us take back

what is ours!

[crowd] Yeah!

Yeah! Come on!

Bust out the door! Come on!

Let's take back what's ours!

Come on!

Come on!

Where are you going, son?

Get up there!

Take everything!

Come on!

They shot him!

There! There he is!

Easy, easy.

Come on, round 'em all up!

[gunshots]

[grunts]

[gunfire]

[screaming]

[gunfire]

China...

I'll see you in hell.

- [shouting]

- [glass breaking]

[screaming]

Here we go. Come on!

Huh?

[crying]

[man] Let's go! Let's go!

Hang him!

Hang him! Let's go! Yeah!

Hmm?

[groans]

[gasps]

[screaming]

Come on! String him up!

Yeah!

Hey!

Here's another one!

[fight grunts]

[baby crying]

Tom!

Tom!

Peony!

[screaming]

Tom! Tom!

Go inside!

Take cover!

Tom, help!

She needs my help.

I'll find you later!

Tom! Tom!

[muttering]

[in Chinese]

[baby cries]

[fight grunts]

- Aah!

[baby cries]

Oh...

Oh, my God! Peony!

My God!

[Yu Hing]

Hyah!

Peony!

[coughing]

Peony, don't give up.

I need you.

Our baby needs you.

[crying]

Tom...

Take me to Jin Shan.

I promise.

We'll go together.

I love you.

Please...

Stay with me.

I... I promise.

Peony!

Peony!

[sobs]

Peony...

- Tom, we have to get out of here.

- No!

I'm not leaving her behind!

- [girl] Grandpa?

- You should thank Grandma.

She's the one who brought

your necklace from China.

I think we should leave and let

Grandpa have some time alone.

Grandpa, tell me the story

of the jade pendant again.

Of course, sweetheart,

when we get to the restaurant.

Good! Then you can take me

to my kung fu lesson!

Yes.

But you have to promise me

you won't hurt me.

Dad, we should go.

Give me a minute.

Go ahead.

Don't stay too long.

She wouldn't want you

to be late for the opening.

She's been with me

for the other four, Sam.

She knows I'll be late.

Go ahead.
