China Gate (1957).1080p. Movie Subtitles

00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,This motion picture
is dedicated to

00:01:57,167 --> 00:02:00,France. More than 300 years ago, French
missionaries were sent to Indochina

00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:04,to teach love of God
and love of fellow man.

00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:07,Gradually, French influence took
shape in the Vietnamese land.

00:02:07,433 --> 00:02:10,Despite many hardships, they
advanced their way of living

00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:13,and the thriving nation
became the rice bowl of Asia.

00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:17,Vast riches were developed under
French guidance until 1941,

00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:19,when Japanese troops moved in

00:02:19,933 --> 00:02:23,and made the rice bowl red
with blood of the defenders.

00:02:23,433 --> 00:02:26,In 1945, when the Japanese
surrender was announced,

00:02:26,733 --> 00:02:29,a Moscow-trained
Indo-Chinese revolutionist

00:02:29,467 --> 00:02:31,who called himself
Ho Chi Minh

00:02:31,433 --> 00:02:35,began the drive to make his own country
another target for Chinese Communists.

00:02:35,933 --> 00:02:39,Headquartered in the North, he
called the new party Viet Minh.

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,With the end of
the Korean War,

00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:45,France was left alone to hold
the hottest front in the world,

00:02:45,167 --> 00:02:48,and became the barrier between
communism and the rape of Asia.

00:02:49,033 --> 00:02:51,Members of the Foreign Legion
imported from North Africa

00:02:51,567 --> 00:02:53,fought valiantly
under the French flag,

00:02:53,767 --> 00:02:57,but the ammunition pipeline
from Moscow could not be found.

00:02:57,533 --> 00:03:01,Bombs and shells made in Russia
were stocked in secret tunnels

00:03:01,467 --> 00:03:03,along the mountain range
of the China Gate.

00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:06,This arsenal was winning the
war for the Communists.

00:03:06,633 --> 00:03:12,Bombs and shells stocked underground
smashed village after village.

00:03:12,367 --> 00:03:16,But still fighting for her life,
100 miles from the China Gate,

00:03:16,467 --> 00:03:20,is the dying village of Son Toy,
the last holdout in the North.

00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:24,Her supplies have been ambushed,
her ammunition depleted,

00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:25,but she fights
as she starves.

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,Her only chance of survival is the
American food air-drop from the South.

00:03:35,133 --> 00:03:38,The year, 1954.

00:03:38,167 --> 00:03:40,The day, Thursday.

00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,The time, 10:in the morning.

00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,All animals have
been eaten. All but one.

00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,Food! Food!

00:06:34,267 --> 00:06:38,- How's Pierre?
- Pierre's hungry.

00:06:41,367 --> 00:06:42,Food!

00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,Keep off the road,
understand?

00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:55,Come on, Leung.

00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:51,It's gonna blow.
Look out!

00:07:52,467 --> 00:07:53,Spread out!

00:08:15,567 --> 00:08:18,Thank you, sisters.
Thank you very much.

00:08:20,633 --> 00:08:24,You look wonderful,
Lucky, just wonderful.

00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,Now that's the way
I like to see you.

00:08:26,367 --> 00:08:29,I want you to meet Captain
Gaumont of the Air Force.

00:08:29,733 --> 00:08:32,He has been pulled out of action
specifically to meet you.

00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:34,Captain, this
is Lia Sermer.

00:08:34,267 --> 00:08:37,So you're the one
they call Lucky Legs?

00:08:37,133 --> 00:08:39,I keep them covered
on social calls.

00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,I heard they are hollow,
to keep your cognac in.

00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,You'll never find out.

00:08:44,933 --> 00:08:46,What's on your mind,
Colonel?

00:08:46,867 --> 00:08:51,I know what an ordeal it is for you
to stay sober, but this is important.

00:08:51,467 --> 00:08:53,Mmm-hmm.
Important to whom?

00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:55,Important to all of us.

00:08:55,933 --> 00:08:58,This is an aerial photo
of the border.

00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,There are hundreds of tunnels here along
those hills and mountains at the China Gate.

00:09:02,867 --> 00:09:05,You g***t me sober
to tell me that?

00:09:05,733 --> 00:09:07,I know you know
about those tunnels.

00:09:08,033 --> 00:09:10,What's this all about,
Colonel?

00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:14,Somewhere in this area is
a big dump of bombs and shells

00:09:14,367 --> 00:09:17,and small arms ammunition that
are crippling our troops.

00:09:17,367 --> 00:09:19,Everybody knows that.

00:09:20,067 --> 00:09:23,But no one knows just
exactly where it is.

00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:26,Some of our bombers g***t
through, but hit nothing vital.

00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:30,We have sent out patrols
but they never g***t back.

00:09:30,267 --> 00:09:34,You know the 100 miles from here to
the border like you know your cognac!

00:09:34,867 --> 00:09:38,You have made this trip, oh, a
hundred times with your cousin.

00:09:38,467 --> 00:09:41,Those Reds trust you.
That's why we need you.

00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:48,Above all, you know Major
Cham at the China Gate.

00:09:52,933 --> 00:09:57,My business with the Major
is strictly my business.

00:09:57,233 --> 00:10:00,We are interested in the Major
because he is the lock to the dump

00:10:00,533 --> 00:10:04,and you are the only key
that can open him up.

00:10:04,267 --> 00:10:05,This isn't my war!

00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:07,- You are part Chinese!
- Ah!

00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,I'm a little of everything
and a lot of nothing.

00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:16,The Chinese say I'm this, the French
say I'm that, the Americans say I'm...

00:10:16,133 --> 00:10:18,As far
as I'm concerned

00:10:19,067 --> 00:10:24,you and the hammer and sickle boys can
go fight it out among yourselves.

00:10:24,433 --> 00:10:25,When the dump is blown,
there should be

00:10:25,967 --> 00:10:27,a chain reaction
through the whole area.

00:10:28,033 --> 00:10:29,In the confusion,
we steal a plane.

00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:31,My job is to fly
you back here to Son Toy.

00:10:31,833 --> 00:10:34,We will give you $5,000.

00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,We'll open a new bar for
you in Saigon

00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,and stock it with the finest
wines and liquor.

00:10:41,467 --> 00:10:42,It's a deal?

00:10:48,933 --> 00:10:50,No.

00:10:51,367 --> 00:10:56,All right, then. Name your own price.
How much do you want?

00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:00,I want to get
my son to America.

00:11:03,433 --> 00:11:06,He has no criminal record,
no disease.

00:11:06,467 --> 00:11:11,He's five years old and his eyes
are a cross he's g***t to carry.

00:11:11,533 --> 00:11:14,But in America, I think that
cross would be lighter.

00:11:15,567 --> 00:11:18,You know the right people.

00:11:18,867 --> 00:11:23,You use your influence for my son
and I'll find that dump for you.

00:11:23,267 --> 00:11:26,No. The laws are
strict in America.

00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:29,All right.

00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,Lucky! Wait a moment.

00:11:34,567 --> 00:11:37,In this particular case,

00:11:37,867 --> 00:11:39,I think we can
work it out.

00:11:41,567 --> 00:11:44,- When do we start?
- Right away!

00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:46,I have a pleasant
surprise for you.

00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:48,What? A bottle?

00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,Send him in.

00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,You remember the American
dynamiter, Sergeant Brock?

00:11:54,867 --> 00:11:56,He is with the
Foreign Legion now.

00:11:56,933 --> 00:11:59,He will be in charge
of explosives.

00:11:59,333 --> 00:12:02,The deal's off!
Find the dump yourself!

00:12:03,633 --> 00:12:06,But I don't understand.

00:12:06,867 --> 00:12:11,I thought it would be a wonderful
reunion for both of you on this job.

00:12:11,867 --> 00:12:15,It would make
everything more pleasant.

00:12:15,267 --> 00:12:20,I knew you lived together in
Saigon, but what happened?

00:12:20,133 --> 00:12:22,We just didn't live
together, Colonel.

00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,We were married,
in church.

00:12:25,667 --> 00:12:28,Oh, you could have bought
her for $30 for two years

00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:30,as a government-registered
wife.

00:12:31,233 --> 00:12:32,That's right.

00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,Well, then, did she find
you with another woman?

00:12:36,867 --> 00:12:38,Is that why
she slapped you?

00:12:38,533 --> 00:12:41,No. I walked.

00:12:41,567 --> 00:12:44,Oh, that happens every day
in this part of the world.

00:12:44,867 --> 00:12:47,Oh, yes, it could
have been worse.

00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,It is. No.

00:12:48,533 --> 00:12:49,What do you mean?

00:12:50,967 --> 00:12:54,She...
