"This city is eating itself, man." "That's why I don't get involved." "Do we have a deal?" "Whatever you need." "And your ang mo partner?" "Let's just keep this between us." "Well, that's James Lim, right." "He's a businessman on his way up, and his brother is Lim Chee Kit, the senior union leader." "I'd love to see a film with you, get to know you better." "Why, so you can open a file on me?" "Listen, South-East Asia is like one big, bloody seesaw - you have the CIA on one side, you've got MI6 on the other." "Mr CIA Agent was looking for you earlier." "Forget him, Su." "You sound like my father." "Why do you think he's different?" "He's not." "I thought about what I said about being with people you love, about making your own life." "I'm leaving Frank." "What if I don't get in?" "You will." "But I haven't heard anything." "Don't worry." "You will, trust me." "You're going to go to school in New York or DC." "I'm going to get posted back to Langley, then I can take you to a ball game." "A ball game?" "Yeah." "Baseball." "It's the greatest game in the world." "I could take you to Shea Stadium to go and see the Mets." "That's my team." "You know that last year they lost, like, 109 games." "That's terrible." "It is." "They were awful." "I'm sure it's against a dozen city ordinances, but..." "Conrad." "What is it?" "Just wait here for a minute." "You guys working late?" "Work site." "Boss needs us to get it ready for the morning crew." "Down, down!" "You OK?" "Stay here." "Wait for the police." "Mm, curtains." "Curtains?" "Yeah." "I like it here, but it needs some colour." "Some running water would help too." "All in good time." "Do we have to?" "Yes." "But what about Frank?" "Well, he's not back till the weekend." "That's only four days." "He needs to hear it from me." "He deserves that." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "This is what I want, Sam." "It's all I want." "Is it what you want?" "Yeah." "Are you free tomorrow night, Mr Callaghan?" "Is Conrad alright?" "Mm-hmm." "Are you sure?" "Apart from some cuts and bruises." "Guys, seen this?" "Front page of The Chronicle." "'Eyewitness" " Miss Ch'en Su Ling.'" "(Sighs) Just what your parents don't need to know." "Hang on, why are they blaming Professor Lim Chee Kit?" "Seems like the union is behind the bombing." "But I know Professor Lim." "That's impossible." "He advocates nonviolence only." "Yeah, nonviolent bombs." "They blew up a coat of arms." "Nobody died." "They might be trying to say, look, independence is a joke and we're still under British control." "They blew up a building!" "Mrs Cheng." "Mr Lim." "To what do we owe the pleasure?" "My brother had nothing to do with last night's bombing." "That's not what the cops think." "But if they find him, they're not going to arrest him." "They will make an example of Chee Kit, and they will kill him." "Why would they do that?" "You saw what happened last night." "The man, he was unarmed, and still they shot him." "Well, Special Branch and the government see Chee Kit as a political threat." "What can we do for you?" "I want to take Chee Kit offshore." "Internal Security Act." "The cops catch us taking a subversive off the island... (Whispers) ..it's a long holiday in Changi." "I'm not asking you to take him, just find him." "And when it's safe, I'll arrange a boat myself." "You're well connected." "Why can't you find him?" "I don't think he would want me to, but... ..he's my brother." "Why would James Lim want to get his brother off the island?" "Chee Kit is Mr Social Justice " "Malaysians for Malaysia and all that." "And James doesn't mind the ang mo?" "As long as he can make money off us." "The word is, James has ambitions, political ambitions." "Maybe that's why he wants his brother gone." "Ange, I need a libation." "I just poured you one." "Well, what can I say?" "I love the service." "Jesus, Macca." "Have you met Sam Callaghan?" "No, but I've heard about you." "You're the investigator." "Ange Warnock." "Pleased to meet you." "Yeah, g'day." "We have to talk." "I hear you have contacts in Chinatown." "Yeah?" "Who told you that?" "You can always talk to me, you know." "Mm." "Look who's here." "You going to fill me in?" "Absolutely." "Wannabe journalist." "She's good." "She won't be if she talks to you." "Inspector Amran." "Any comments on the shooting last night?" "Go speak to the Public Liaison Unit." "Where's your friend Kang?" "Why, what's he done?" "He's a known associate of the terrorist we shot last night." "A 'known associate'." "Hey, what's that mean?" "Tell your friend it will be safer for everyone if he comes in on his own accord." "Don't get too pissed." "Of course not." "You got noticed last night at Langley." "Getting knocked out got me noticed?" "(Laughs)" "Unarmed, chasing terrorists." "Shows mettle." "They like that." "The bomb attack got their attention." "Langley wants a who's-who in the Singapore zoo - union activists who work with Chee Kit, communist sympathisers, spies." "You know the drill." "Pretty much anyone who shouldn't get a US visa." "It's all yours." "What is this?" "Langley convinced MI6 to share their intelligence with us." "And Major Miller agreed?" "He's as worried about the commies as we are." "Have fun." "You were supposed to be here three hours ago." "The cops are looking for you." "So?" "Amran says you knew the guy they shot last night, the guy with the bomb." "Yeah." "His name is Yam." "He works on the wharfs." "You knew him too." "He doesn't really talk to anybody." "You haven't done any transports for the unions, have you?" "No." "Kang?" "I said no!" "They've got their eye on you." "Promise me you won't do anything stupid." "Yeah, whatever." "Maybe you should start keeping your promises too." "What's that supposed to mean?" "You know exactly what it means." "And you can tell Mrs Simpson that Singapore is very small." "When someone sees something, everybody sees it." "I came here with such high hopes, but I won't miss any of this." "You're not going anywhere, are you?" "No." "Oh, don't tell me Frank's been transferred?" "What?" "No, no, no." "Not that he's told me." "I thought you said he was away till the weekend." "Mm." "He is." "Well..." "Darling!" "Frank." "Lady Tuckworth." "I thought you weren't back till Sunday." "The good news is, we got the deal signed off a few days early." "The bad news is, I'm on a ferry to Batam in less time than it takes to get there." "I really need to talk to you." "I'm sorry." "I'll be back tomorrow night." "I'll take Monday off." "We'll have a whole long weekend together..." "Frank." "..starting with dinner right here at eight o'clock, OK?" "I love you." "Lady Tuckworth." "Felix is now an accountant for a textile union." "And he can get us to Chee Kit?" "Yes, that's what he says." "We were both in Professor Lim's class at university." "Were you both student radicals?" "We weren't radicals." "We were involved in a political school protest." "And that's history." "How long did you go out with Felix?" "I didn't." "His parents just once thought we might be a good match." "So you broke up with him?" "No." "Well, maybe a little, but it was such a long time ago, and he was quite happy for me to come see him today." "Did you tell him about your CIA boy scout?" "Mr Harrison is not a boy scout." "(Laughs) You didn't tell him, did you?" "I'm going to try and get you and Felix back together." "He's an accountant." "Sounds like a solid chap." "Sam, what's wrong with you?" "Why are you happy?" "Am I?" "I hadn't noticed." "It's got to be a fever." "I should call this meeting off." "Stop talking." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "Keep walking." "Are we being followed?" "I think so." "I just want to make sure." "Who would follow us?" "I don't know." "Police, Special Branch." "I'll distract them, you meet up with Felix." "What?" "Sam!" "Go, go." "Hi." "Hello." "Good to see you." "I heard that you and Mrs Cheng are working with an ang mo." "This Sam Callaghan, he could be spying for the British or the Americans." "No, Sam's Australian, and he's not a spy, I promise." "You've become a very beautiful woman." "I always knew you would." "Felix, do you really know where Professor Lim is hiding?" "Yes." "We don't want the police involved any more than you do, but James Lim says he's worried, so I just want to speak to Professor Lim for him." "Please." "OK." "Stay here." "I'll give him a call." "Thank you." "Anything interesting?" "Harrison." "Major Miller." "Uh, no." "No names stand out?" "No." "No, not yet." "I just..." "I mean, most of this intelligence is five, ten years old." "You want me to get Davies to go over the rest of it with you?" "No." "I've started." "He's just sitting out there swatting flies." "I'll get him off his butt." "No reason to waste your time." "No, it's only going to take me a couple more hours." "You sure?" "Yeah, yeah." "Dedication." "I like that." "Me, right now, I'm dedicated to lunch with Major Miller." "Meet us in the club when you're done, if you want." "OK." "Thanks." "This one." "Sorry - you've got to go into the boot." "This way." "Ch'en Su Ling." "Professor Lim. (Speaks local language) Good to see you." "And you." "Felix tells me my brother sent you." "Yes." "He was worried that the police might catch you." "The only thing that ever worried James, as he calls himself now, is his bank balance." "He wants me to leave the country, doesn't he?" "He said he didn't want you dead or in Changi." "If I leave, I can't do anything for my people." "So please, tell him you have found me, and I thank him for his concern, but I will stay here in Singapore." "But, Professor Lim, a man was killed yesterday." "Please let us help protect you." "It was good to see you again." "(Approaching footsteps)" "Sorry I'm late." "Why are we meeting here anyway?" "Conrad, what's the matter?" "You said that before we met you were just a pigtailed girl." "You wanted home rule, democracy." "That's all." "Yeah, that's true." "Why?" "I found an intelligence report on you." "It's from six years ago, but it's incriminating." "Oh, it can't be." "I went through the rest of the files, made sure there was only one." "What does it say?" "It says that you used to organise student protests and that you were a..." "How can you believe that?" "Is that true?" "I, Ch'en Su Ling, solemnly swear that I am not, nor have I ever been, a member of the Communist Party." "This is not a joke." "Who wrote the report?" "I don't know." "Never heard of him." "It's a guy named Felix Yao." "Yao?" "Yao?" "Yeah." "Do you know him?" "Yes." "When was the last time you saw him?" "Today." "Today?" "Why?" "For Mrs Cheng." "There's got to be a mistake." "I hadn't seen him in years, but he would never say these things about me." "Well, six years ago he did, and if this file ever gets out, you will never get a US visa." "But Conrad, why would he lie about me?" "I don't know." "Why would he?" "OK, OK, OK!" "Alright." "Extra special." "Sam, I was set up." "The day after the bombing, cops crawling all over the harbour, and you smuggle in C-4?" "No, I didn't." "Didn't I warn you?" "Would you just listen to me?" "No matter how much money they offer me, do you actually think I'm that stupid, to bring in C-4?" "Do you really think I'm that stupid?" "Amran thinks you are." "That guy always had something against me." "Well, what are we going to do about it?" "You know what the charge is for a smuggling offence." "They're going to hang you." "That's why you have to believe me, Sam." "You have to believe me." "I was set up." "Yeah, I believe you." "My opinion isn't going to get you out of here." "Who hired you?" "Just some guy with a shipment of arak." "You're going to protect him now?" "I'm not pro..." "Fine." "You're not going to like this." "I don't know who, but I think I know why I was set up." "I have been transporting arak for the unions." "After the bombing, knowing Amran is looking for you?" "It was just a job, OK?" "I was making money, bringing in arak for union clubs." "That's all." "That was it, OK?" "No guns, no explosives, nothing like that, Sam." "I swear - I swear, man" " I was set up." "Alright." "You think my men planted C-4 on his boat?" "That's not what I'm saying, but he was set up." "By who?" "I don't know." "He was smuggling arak for the unions." "That's it." "Oh, come on." "You know Kang." "He's an opportunist, but he's not an activist." "He's not going to smuggle C-4." "Have you found anything yet?" "Not yet." "Well, you're not going to." "We'll keep searching." "And... we're impounding your boat until Kang's trial." "Oh, hang on, hang on." "You're not even going to consider the possibility that Kang was set up?" "If you're wrong, he'll hang." "I'll tell you what I'll consider." "Bring me Lim Chee Kit," "I may take a favourable view towards your friend." "You think Chee Kit planted the explosives?" "I don't know, but I'll consider that when you bring him to me." "Why, so you can take him to the police?" "No, I just want to talk to him." "You think he's guilty, don't you?" "I don't know." "I want to find out who's responsible for the bombing." "I told you." "It's not Professor Lim." "But you don't know that." "But I know Kang will hang if we can't find out who planted explosive on his boat." "Do you want to see him hang?" "Sorry." "There's nothing I can do." "Don't move." "What do you want from me?" "Who are you?" "You don't want to know." "I've done nothing wrong." "Don't move." "That's not true, Felix." "Don't look at me." "Is that your signature?" "Where did you get it from?" "Is that your signature?" "Yes." "Now, you accused Ch'en Su..." "Don't look at me!" "You accused Ch'en Su Ling of being a communist sympathiser." "Is that true?" "No!" "Then why did you lie, Felix?" "I was angry." "My parents... ..they thought that we'd be a good match together, but she just wasn't interested in me." "So you made a false report, did you?" "Did you?" "I'll retract it." "I'll tell them I lied." "Shut up, shut up." "This is what you're going to do." "You're going to say nothing." "If anyone ever asks you what was in that, you're going to deny you ever gave it, is that understood?" "Yes." "I will say anything." "If I ever hear of you giving information on Ch'en Su Ling again" "I will come back here." "I know where you live." "Now, get up, face the wall." "Don't look at me." "Don't look at me." "Face the wall." "Count to 50." "OK." "It must have been one of the union guys that ordered the arak." "It would have been loaded in before it got to you." "Yeah, I guess." "But I told you - I can't identify any of them." "We've got to find Chee Kit." "Maybe he knows something." "What if it WAS Chee Kit?" "I'll bring him in." "The bomber for you." "That was the deal with Amran." "Do you know where I can find him?" "Kang?" "I don't know where he lives... ..but I do know where he prays." "(Tyres screech)" "(Toots horn)" "Stop tailing me." "The job's finished." "It's not our fault your brother doesn't trust you." "Does he know about your deal with Inspector Amran?" "I have many sources in the police department, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them to protect my brother." "(Speaks Mandarin)" "Already there's too much violence on the streets of Singapore." "Our union has never resorted to such things." "No!" "If we kill government officials, there will be no support among the people." "Then we'll take them all out." "No!" "Every bomb is another excuse for the British to leave their troops here." "While I am the leader of this union, we will not use violence." "No!" "No guns." "No guns!" "Who are you?" "A friend of Su Ling's." "You've got no choice." "This way." "Why are you helping me?" "I don't want anything to do with my brother." "I don't work for your brother." "I'm doing this for Xiao Kang." "Kang?" "He's a friend of mine." "He's in prison for something he didn't do." "What do the police think he did?" "They think he smuggled explosives for your union." "They're right." "Wait." "Wait!" "I said, wait!" "What are you talking about, what did Kang do?" "You want the truth?" "Kang smuggled weapons for Gao and the militant ones." "No." "No, no." "No, he didn't." "But he had nothing to do with the post office." "That was all Gao Yi." "I tried to get him to stop but..." "(Gunshot)" "Help me." "Hang in there." "Get an ambulance!" "Quickly, get an ambulance!" "Chee Kit didn't order the attack on the post office." "Who did?" "He said it could have been Gao Yi." "Did you see who shot him?" "Hey, Sam..." "I've got an idea." "Uncle?" "If I was looking for a doctor to take out a bullet, no questions asked, where would I go?" "Surprised to see that?" "I don't know what it is." "It took some persuading, but that backstreet doctor admitted that he pulled it out of Peng Li's shoulder." "Peng Li who works for me?" "That's right." "He didn't show up to work tonight." "I wondered what had happened." "Your brother is probably going to die." "What is it you're so scared that he could possibly tell the police?" "I heard you were there." "Did my brother say anything before you let him get shot?" "You're going to regret saying that one day." "You don't want me to be an enemy, Mr Callaghan." "It's a bit late for that." "If your man followed the cops... ..how the hell did they know where I was?" "A deal's a deal, huh?" "They caught the bomber and they let me go." "I owe you one, man." "Thanks." "So is..." "Chee Kit going to live?" "What do you care?" "You told the police where he was." "Why didn't you wait?" "I would have got him out alive." "I didn't have a choice, man." "They already knew..." "You've always got a choice." "The police own you, Kang." "They own you!" "Look, I told you about this first." "It's not like I didn't tell you." "At least with you there, I thought, you know," "Chee Kit could have a chance that he could get out." "I knew he had nothing to do with the post office." "Why should I believe you?" "You set me up, you lied about the unions, you lied about the smuggling, you lied about Chee Kit." "You set me up, Kang!" "They were going to hang me!" "I always knew you'd play an angle." "I didn't have a problem with that." "But I never..." "I never thought you'd lie to me like that." "He's probably going to die." "We're done." "We've been done for awhile, Sam." "Hello, darling." "You look beautiful, as usual." "Shall we?" "I..." "I think we should go." "Look, I'm so sorry, Claire." "I know, these last six months, I've been gone nearly every weekend." "Frank..." "No, let me finish, please." "I've spoken to Maxwell." "He agrees I've been doing the job of three men." "So, he's getting me an assistant and giving me a two-week vacation starting tonight." "We can go anywhere you want - Italy, Australia, the US." "You name it." "I don't want to go anywhere." "Then we can stay here." "Relax, sleep late." "Whatever you want to do." "Frank... ..I really think we should go home." "What's wrong?" "Look, I don't want to do this here." "I think we should go home." "Do what here?" "What is it?" "Claire?" "Frank, I've met someone." "I'm moving out." "Who?" "Frank..." "Who is it?" "Shh!" "I'll shout if I want to." "Who is it, Claire?" "Sam Callaghan." "You're kidding me." "I didn't plan on any of this." "How long have you been seeing him?" "Frank." "How long?" "A couple of months." "So you're going to move in with Sam Callaghan." "You think that will last?" "I do, yes." "I'm so sorry." "Enough." "Just go." "I'm going to have to pick up a few things from home." "Not tonight." "I'll make sure I'm gone tomorrow." "You can pick them up then." "♪ Anyone" "♪ You can blame me" "♪ Try to shame me" "♪ And still I'll care for you" "♪ You can run around" "♪ Even put me down ♪ (Knocks)" "♪ Still I'll be there for you" "♪ The world may think I'm foolish" "♪ They can't see you ♪ (Knocks)" "♪ Like I can" "♪ Oh, but anyone" "♪ Who knows what love is" "♪ Will understand" "♪ Anyone" "♪ Anyone ♪ I just feel so sorry" "♪ Anyone ♪ For the ones who pity me... ♪" "Mrs Simpson." "I was supposed to meet Sam, but he hasn't come back yet." "I'm afraid I can't help you." "Please." "He said he'd be here." "Give me a moment." "Kang!" "Mrs Cheng?" "Are you sure you want to see this?" "Is... is he alright?" "Yeah." "He won't be going anywhere for a few hours." "Better to just let him sleep it off here." "Don't worry." "I'll bring him home in the morning." "I got in." "Columbia and Georgetown," "New York and Washington DC, just like you said." "That's great." "Conrad, what's the matter?" "I destroyed your file." "I had a chat to your buddy Felix." "I don't think that he'll bother you anymore." "What did you do?" "Nothing." "We just... had a little talk." "But I need you to stay under the radar from now on." "Conrad, look - radar." "Su Ling..." "OK." "Yes, I'm not doing anything." "No rallies." "No talking to your friends about the US or anything." "Nothing." "For how long?" "For as long as you want a visa." "I got rid of the file, but I can't be certain that's the only one they have." "If they find out you've got a history and see you making trouble and talking to people about Vietnam or anything, they will revoke your visa and they will send you home." "No, they can't do that." "Yes, they can do that." "Because people with histories don't get study visas." "I need you to promise me that you will stay under the radar from now on." "I promise." "Whatever you say." "Mr Harrison." "Can we have a word?" "Alone, I'm afraid." "Pretty girl." "You wanted me to find her file." "That's why you gave us the intelligence." "Don't worry." "These go no further than here." "We have many interesting photographs." "Heard you lost a couple of Australian girls." "The girls weren't on the ship when it docked and Customs has no record of disembarkation in Singapore." "SAM: £10,000 or they'll kill 'em." "Who controls the waterfront?" "Kay Song and his thugs." "'Grazier's Daughter Triad Horror.' The story writes itself." "You should be grateful I don't kill you where you stand." "(Screaming)" "You're my new conduit into Langley." "You want me to spy on the CIA for you?" "I saw your husband..." "Did you see...?" "..on the night he died." "Do you know what happened?" "Chin up." "You're a real spy now."
