[Rookie Agent Rouge]
[Episode 18]
Lan Yanzhi. You are very smart.
But do you know
what the difference is between a smart and stupid person?
A smart person would never think they are smart.
But stupid people always thinking they are the smartest!
In Feng Zixiong's case,
you depended on your little wit and the luck the heavens gave you!
You could be a spy for the rest of your life.
But you can't hope that good luck will always be on your side!
Alright.
Since you've already exposed yourself, you can't take part in any action for now.
Stay put for a while.
Thankfully, no important organs were hurt.
I was so worried.
I couldn't help you.
The code book has been intercepted. The new code has been deciphered.
The report from the police came just in time.
But in the end, she still escaped.
Who can tell me why?
Lan Yanzhi
rented a room fifty meters from us!
She freely spent so many days, yet no one found out!
She's just a newbie!
Look at you all!
Don't you feel ashamed?
It's just...
we were very close.
Very close?
You were very close every time!
Don't you think like that's a very big problem?
She's just lucky.
A person can't always run into good luck, Miss Manna.
I remember I once told you all
I said,
the one that ruined your parents' intelligence network
might become our biggest opponent in the near future!
I was indeed right.
Miss Manna.
You didn't think you'd run into her so soon, right?
And you lost to her too.
Chief Feng already did very well.
If she didn't break the code,
until now, we'd still know nothing about the enemy's movements.
Inspector Zhou.
You mean that Lan Yanzhi and the radio she had
disappeared together, and you feel like you earned merit?
I was the one who found the radio. I just didn't guard it well.
I should be punished.
If you want to pursue the matter,
I will not protest.
-What do you mean by that? -Enough!
It's already come to this, so stop talking.
Inspector Zhou, recuperate well.
Chief Feng Manna, come out with me.
The Secret Service has announced that
because Feng Manna did well when breaking the enemy code,
she'll be conferred the military rank of Major.
Chief...I...
Manna. I was strict with you just now because you didn't finish your mission.
I'm rewarding you now
because you cracked the enemy's new code.
You weren't trained at all,
yet you cracked such a complicated code.
It's not a simple task.
I cannot avoid saying that you are a genius.
But Chief,
She hid by the headquarters for so long, yet I didn't realize it.
I feel so ashamed.
Manna.
The Imperial Army treats you as their own people now.
There's a Chinese saying. 'To know shame and change from it is a form of courage.'
We did lose,
but...I hope you can learn a lesson from this failure.
Next time,
take back the victory.
Thank you Chief. Next time, I'll definitely win beautifully.
Very good.
We did lose,
but...we successfully cracked the enemy's code.
Do you know what that means?
It means...?
We have the upper hand.
It's a shame.
Lan Yanzhi still escaped. She also left behind something suspicious.
Yes. Her radio disappeared.
Or perhaps you can say, it mysteriously disappeared.
Sit.
According to Inspector Zhou's testimony, he said when he went by the security office,
he saw the radio inside.
He thought to take the radio and continue with the pursuit.
What he didn't expect was...
he was shot by someone, and then he doesn't remember anything else.
That means inside The Great World,
someone on their side had things set up,
attacked Mr. Zhou, and then took the radio away.
But as I see things,
Inspector Zhou's injury doesn't look like someone else inflicted it.
Look. The bullet went from behind his waist
and went up and through him.
He bled a lot, but it wasn't a fatal wound.
No! It's very serious, he bled a lot.
He almost died!
-Is that so? -Yes.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Take good care of him.
Congratulations.
Lan Yanzhi is a genius. A genius will have their own weaknesses.
And they would be very obvious.
Besides herself, she doesn't look upon anyone else.
She thinks on behalf of others and values affection.
We know these weaknesses.
Feng Manna and the secret service naturally know too.
She's arrogant and won't accept suffering under anyone.
As a rookie, to suffer setbacks and get her to be less proud,
To her, this is a good thing too.
With her rough edges softened, one day,
her usefulness in the future
will be bigger than a group of soldiers.
Hongkou District. Japanese Concession in Shanghai.
Here you can see kimonos everywhere.
Cheongsams and long robes are the minority here.
Though Yanzhi grew up in Shanghai,
she's unfamiliar with this area.
Following the Branch Leader's orders, Song Mian had to hide her here.
Go slowly!
This is the Japanese Concession.
Let's go.
Hello, long time no see.
Hello Sachiko-san.
These are persimmons from my hometown. For you, please have them.
Thank you very much!
Please! Please, please.
Please sit. I"ll go make some tea.
This is our year long reserved room.
The owner came with her husband here ten years ago.
Eight years ago, her husband died.
She sews and rents out this room for a living.
She has no relationship with either faction.
She doesn't understand Chinese either.
My identity?
My ex-wife. To avoid my current wife,
I can only have you suffer and stay here.
Name?
Wang Ju Hua. (Ju Hua means chrysanthemum)
You did it on purpose!
Wang Da Hua, Wang Gui Hua, just pick one. Anything will do. (Da Hua means big flower. Gui Hua means osmanthus)
Mission?
Stay here, don't step outside of this door.
The boss lady keeps an eye on every piece of news.
We'll send a message to you via the advertisements.
If you have time, learn how to sew from the boss lady.
It'll be useful in the future.
Excuse me, I've made you wait.
You've traveled hard.
Who was the original guest?
It's a lone female guest. She paid three months of rent.
After a few days, she left without saying bye!
Sir, you are so lucky!
We usually don't have empty rooms here!
Then I'll give you three months of rent too.
Okay, okay!
To save Lan Yanzhi, you risked such great danger!
How could you not report this to headquarters?
We're both Chinese. I'm just helping her out of convenience.
You have even used the trick of hurting yourself. (one of the tricks in 36 stratagems-Inflict injury on oneself to win the enemy's trust)
And you call that "convenient"?
Why did you act on your own volition?
That girl is very talented.
I want to bring her in as our comrade in the future.
The one we have to bring in first is Feng Manna!
She's the one we need most!
Zhou Yuhao, your life isn't your own.
The headquarters didn't put in all efforts to place you into the Secret Service
just for you to be stubborn and act on your own!
You have to do self reflection and write a report.
You're using this trick?
If I really wrote a report and send it to you personally,
that would be taking my life as a joke!
Okay okay, sit sit.
Have a smoke, calm down a bit.
Let's talk serious matters.
What serious matters?
My serious matter now is to immediately report to headquarters.
I have to take you out from the Secret Squad headquarters.
Take me out?
You should've said so earlier. I just got the radio.
I was planning to show you some of my skills.
-Radio? -Yes, Yanzhi's radio.
How did you get it?
The radio was inside the security room. I took it in the chaos.
You saved her to get the radio?
Why didn't you say so earlier?
It's not too late to say it now!
Sit sit sit!
Comrade Li Jie, do you still want to advise the headquarters to pull me out early?
You brat!
Is the radio safe now?
I hid it in a place that no one can find.
Where?
The room Yanzhi rented. Bailinan Road, number 172.
Is that place safe?
I looked into it.
That room has to be rented for three months. The owner won't agree to a shorter time.
Yanzhi was exposed, but the landlady doesn't know about it.
You still need to be careful.
We have the radio now. What should we do next?
Send a cipher telegram to base camp as soon as possible.
Zhou Yuhao,
If you are a man, then drink quickly! Stop dragging your feet.
You really love to dress up. No matter where you go,
you've to put on perfume.
It's too disgusting!
You tricked me?
I did trick you!
What do you need?
-Let me see that one. -Okay.
A woman's perfume is worth a poor man's half month wages.
Don't bother about whether it's half month or one month wages. Return this to me.
It's like this.
Like this.
The order in Shanghai is restored pretty fast.
Tokyo side is very pleased with you.
Thank you.
Compared with us Japanese,
the Chinese are too sly and too difficult to govern.
But if we let their own people govern them,
the effect is much better.
They need money for food and clothes.
We also need money for our army.
Shanghai is a financial hub.
It's the life source of China's economy.
I believe it shouldn't be a problem to make money here.
This is the common bluebottle butterfly.
This is
Leopard Lacewing Butterfly.
This is Kaiser-i-Hind butterfly.
Of the world's 8 most rare and precious butterflies, it ranked top.
I went to great lengths to get it.
Mr Oshima's hobbies are quite extensive.
Your design of your office has so artistic feel to it.
It's just the design,
most of these butterfly specimens are done by myself.
It must have been done meticulously.
You're right.
Using an insect pin to keep a butterfly
in place on the mounting board is not difficult.
The difficult part is to let the butterfly specimen to be displayed as its natural flight motion.
My greatest hobby is
to let a worthless carcass
take on a new look.
Come take a seat please. We'll sit and chat.
This is a cipher telegram from Tokyo.
An order from the command headquarters.
Please.
Top secret order regarding currency war from the command headquarters.
Gist of currency war.
Under the governance of Chiang Kai Shiek, the currency system is collapsing.
They are losing the resistance war.
Assist the Nanjing government to build up new financial order,
to seek co-prosperity in Greater East Asia.
Its code name is Sugi Assignment.
I've stayed in Shanghai for quite some time.
I've never heard of Sugi Agency.
Is it so?
This is under the direct command of Tokyo.
A highly confidential bureau of the General Staff Department.
You should have heard of Tokyo's 9th Army Technical Research Laboratory, also known as Noborito Laboratory.
Yes, I have heard about it.
The Noborito Laboratory
is the Empire of Japan's top secret.
I don't know the full details.
I used to work in Noborito Laboratory.
Now this Sugi Agency
is the sub-division of Noborito Laboratory in China.
Qing Mu, what we were talking about on the way here,
we occupy Shanghai, we occupy China,
is not only to govern them.
China has vast land and rich resrouces.
This are what the Empire of Japan
lack. Therefore...
Therefore our coming to China,
we need to seize China's resources,
and expand the Empire of Japan's power,
in order to achieve the target of supporting war with warfare.
To win in the war, it
not only depends on the country's military power,
her economic power is also important.
We must win first in the economy,
then we can safely say we've conquered China, and from there conquer the whole whole.
What would you want me to do?
These are the dollar notes distributed by Nanjing government.
Have a look.
I don't really take note of the Chinese currency notes. But from the look of it,
they seems rough.
These are counterfeit notes.
Our first battle in the financial war
is to circulate them into the market
to mess with their economy.
If we are lucky, we can get
war supplies free of charge.
This strategy is too brilliant.
I got the help of some underground societies
to circulate a small amount of the counterfeit notes in the market,
so as to test waters.
This matter must be kept confidential.
You must reveal this even in Secret Service Headquarters.
Yes, General.
What you need to do now is
to choose a Chinese bank and work with them
to circulate these notes through normal channels.
The best way is to find a bank with good reputation with the Chinese,
to aid in our control.
I've thought of the best person to do the job.
Okay okay.
It's done.
Give it a try.
This is a traditional cuisine of the Japanese.
It's called sashimi.
Only VIP guests can eat it.
To be able to eat such a delicacy in wartime,
it's too valuable.
Don't just see that is'a piece of raw meat.
Add some vinegar and wasabi.
Come, give it a try too.
Is our Manna, who isn't afraid of bombs or guns, afraid of this?
Come come come.
Actually, getting revenge isn't hard.
As long as you eat them all.
Then I'll tell you the answer.
Add some vinegar and wasabi.
I'm sorry.
Actually, it's not hard to make Lan Yanzhi show herself.
Attack her family?
No. That's not a good idea.
This is between Yanzhi and me.
What a weak heart.
But you have to know.
When Lan Yanzhi destroyed your family,
would she think of that?
This is the only way to make Lan Yanzhi show up.
You can think about it.
Tell me.
Why has it become like this?
Lan Yanzhi.
Since you won't be loyal,
then don't blame me for not being loyal either!
Hello, long time no see.
Hello.
-Please sit. -Okay.
Madam, the man out there is your husband's colleague.
He brought you something.
A news will be out in the newspaper tomorrow asking to meet with you.
The one meeting you is Song Mian.
After you meet him, I want you to continue following him.
If he meets another person,
then follow the one he meets.
You must find out who that person is and where he hides.
But Song Mian is my direct supervisor.
If...something is wrong with your supervisor?
In the current situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak.
Anything is possible.
Impossible.
I also hope that he won't.
These are vegetarian pan-fried buns from Zhen Ru Temple.
Give it a try. It won't taste good if you leave it over night.
Hongkou Park
How is your embroidery skills coming along?
Not bad.
It can't be "not bad", you must be skilled.
There're news that require the use of embroidery to be sent.
There's a music score sheet on page 10 of the magazine.
Embroider the score sheet's musical scale on the kimono obi.
Someone will come get it.
Sir, let me borrow your lighter.
Get in the car.
Talk.
Who gave you the order?
Talk!
It was myself.
Suzhou River is up ahead.
Throw me into the river. Saves you the trouble of digging a hole to bury me.
China has their traitors, and the Japanese have theirs too.
Young Lin is my mole.
He's the eldest son of his family, he must support them.
Compared to winning the war and their Emperor,
What he needs more is money.
I didn't intend to tell you these things.
As a spy, the less you know the better.
You'll be safer that way.
It's alright. Things have already come to this.
In a bit, go get me something from the trunk.
Why?
Don't trust anyone. Including me!
Remember!
