- Episode 4 -
[National Salvation Council in Shanghai]
Plant these three bugs in the living room,
bedroom and in the study room's telephones at Feng house.
There is a fruit store on the west side of Feng Zixiong's house.
It's our rendezvous point.
You can see it from the second floor window.
If you see a green sign hanging at the store,
that means there is news, and you must contact them.
If there is a yellow sign, leave immediately.
A red sign means all communication must temporarily stop.
Stop all your actions and wait for orders.
If "Taking Inventory" is posted, it means something unexpected happened.
If anything happens, take care of it yourself.
Are you done yet?
There's one last thing.
Protect yourself.
Stop, stop.
Thank you, miss.
Miss, what do you need?
Boss, are there lychees?
Not right now.
If you like them, we can get some.
Okay, then I'll come again when you have some.
Okay, take care.
Watermelons! Freshly picked watermelons!
Hello, Auntie.
Yanzhi.
It's so chaotic outside.
Why are you running around?
Auntie, I'm looking for Manna.
Manna isn't up yet. Go back first.
Auntie, I-I made a date with Manna yesterday. She's waiting for me.
Manna! Manna!
Come on up!
Auntie, I'll go on up.
Manna, I'm coming!
I say, why are you getting up so early?
You're getting up too late!
The sunlight's so nice, but you won't open the window to get some fresh air.
Yesterday,
I was caught in the Japanese bombing.
I was really scared.
A woman who was holding a basket
was blown in two, right in front of me.
The bottom of her body was gone but her upper half was still crawling!
Stop. Stop. Just listening to it scares me.
I remember you told me once
that war would break out in a few days.
How could your father have been so accurate?
What's so strange about that? My dad is a military man.
How can a military officer not know about the war?
That's true.
What do you want to drink? I'll have Mother Liu bring it up.
There's no need, I can get it myself. What do you want to drink?
Red tea with lemon!
There's too much interference. I can't hear a thing.
When did the interference start?
The signal was lost after the target entered the Feng house.
Right. Feng Zixiong designed his own mansion.
He must have included some anti-surveillance materials in the plans,
like copper wire girds.
[Fresh lychees]
Manna! They have fresh lychees! I'll go buy some!
No. Let the servants do the job.
They can't pick them the way I do.
Boss, you got some so soon? You're quite trustworthy.
Of course. We got them just for you.
Have a taste.
So little?
There's even more in the storeroom out back. Go pick some.
Sit.
What happened?
Feng Zixiong installed material to block listening devices.
We can't get the signal.
It is all up to you now.
What in the world are you guys doing?
What should I do?
I can't come buy fruit every time something happens.
Use the code.
Take the lemons back.
You can correspond secretly with lemon juice.
Show me.
Write, "I love Lan Yanzhi."
Write it! If you don't, I can't learn.
Don't you understand what I said?
"I love Lan Yanzhi."
You're missing two words!
Lives are on the line. I can't joke around with you!
If you don't write it, I won't do it.
Enough. Enough. Enough.
I was just testing your loyalty to Tianmu.
If you dare write that,
just watch how I'll punish you!
Letter for you.
Give it to me.
- Thank you. - I'll be going.
Feng Manna, a letter from Nanjing.
Air mail.
Who is it from?
Give it to me.
Tell me who wrote it.
You don't know the person.
I don't?
You are blushing. Are you dating?
You didn't tell me?
It was arranged by my parents.
We have yet to meet.
Your parents may have arranged it,
but you still have a boyfriend.
What does he do?
He's a soldier, like my father.
Then what is his rank?
He's a major in Nanjing Military Commission.
Feng Manna, you're amazing! Let me see!
I want to see how a major writes letters. I have never read a love letter before.
You are tickling me!
It's just the beginning!
When something is sure, I'll tell you.
Give me some space, okay?
Petty!
Slow down, Manna.
Our Manna's expectations
are just too high.
If I hadn't worked hard to persuade her this time,
would she have agreed to write him letters?
Yanzhi, where is your boyfriend?
I don't have one.
Really? Your mom is not worried?
My mom doesn't care about me. It is up to me.
Auntie, you see, Manna is in a relationship now.
I have to send this back quickly before it get's lost.
Look how pretty the stamp is.
We should have been more careful. How could we put a pitcher of water on it?
Let's not get it dirty.
This isn't a commemorative stamp.
I like airmail stamps, too.
I didn't know you collect stamps, Auntie.
I can't call it a hobby. I'm just interested in them.
Okay, take it up to her.
Okay. I'll wait for you to come back.
I won't say anything else. Hurry and come back.
Madam, your medicine is ready.
Mother Liu, did you see anyone pass by?
No.
Okay, come in.
Manna, your envelope.
Auntie took the stamp.
What does she want that for?
Doesn't Auntie collect stamps?
She doesn't. My father does.
Regardless of the mail, he will remove the stamps. He has many stamp books now.
Are you going to reply to him?
I'll look at it for you.
What do you intend to do?
I'm looking at it for you!
Men love to use flowery words.
You need to learn to discern the true words
from the flattery.
Manna! Quit being so petty!
How about... you tell me a bit about him?
His name for instance.
Yanzhi,
why do I feel like you're more interested in him than I am?
Because... because you're my friend!
Of course, I care about you.
Open the door!
- Is that Feng Zixiong's car?-Yes.
Why did he come back so early?
What did Shadow say?
What do you think?
We should catch a big fish for the Japanese. I mean the biggest one.
The biggest fish?
Who?
Is it Jiang...
Is it really Jiang?
Shadow has received definite news.
To avoid the Japanese bombing, Old Jiang
planned to use the British Embassy's car
to travel to Shanghai from Nanjing and supervise operations.
Now, Old Jiang is also using deceptive means.
We have to tell Qing Mu immediately.
- I'll go tell Deputy Liu.- Okay.
Sir.
Take this. Be careful on the road.
Don't worry.
- Deputy Liu, are you going out?- Miss.
I'm running errands for the Commander.
You look quite handsome today, Deputy Liu.
You're exaggerating, Miss Yanzhi. I am just a gofer.
I'll be on my way.
Manna.
The walking stick that Deputy Liu was holding looks like Uncle Feng's.
That's my father's.
He is always using Father's walking stick to gain attention.
Yanzhi, are you finished yet?
What are you doing?
I'm almost done with my shower.
Having a shower in the middle of the day?
Manna. You... You...
Are you done now?
Done. Done. You go ahead.
Yanzhi, what were you doing?
It's a new beauty secret. Didn't you know?
Using lemons for beauty?
Putting lemon juice on your skin makes it white and soft.
Try it out.
You try it. I'll leave it to you. Take your time with it.
It's dry.
Didn't she take a shower?
Give me the airplane.
No! I got it first.
I'll trade you.
Give me the airplane and I'll give you lychees. Okay?
Let's go.
You're not going to pay for the lychees?
Yanzhi, what are you doing?
Nothing.
Then, why do you look so nervous?
What is there to be nervous about?
What did you see?
Nothing! I'll peel you a lychee.

You two eat first.
Mother Liu, I suddenly remembered.
When I bought lychees, the fruit stall owner gave me too much change.
Can you return it to him for me?
Yes, Miss Yanzhi.
You are so kind. You even return one dollar to someone.
I'll go right now.
Thank you, Mother Liu.
You're just looking for trouble.
- When did I?- Always!
You watch that fruit stall from day to night!
After eating lychees, you eat lemons.
That fruit stall has been next to my house for many years.
Is the owner really handsome?
- I'll go take a look.- Okay. Okay.
I won't go buy anymore. I'll just have Mother Liu go. All right?
What are you thinking in that head of yours?
Our guest bought fruit here.
She said you gave her an extra dollar of change.
Thank you. Thank you!
I'll leave you to your work.
Come do business with us again!
Platoon Leader.
She's quite smart.
[Keep an eye on Deputy Liu's walking stick.]
Sir, let me borrow your lighter.
Any news?
Nothing.
That person is problematic.
One cup of coffee, please.
He's been sitting alone all this time.
Writing and calculating all the while, I have no idea what.
He hasn't talked to anyone.
Check, please!
-Should I follow him?-Wait.
Check, please!
- Check, please.- We have thoroughly investigated this.
The receiver is Watanabe Ichiro.
He's the head of Investigation at the Japanese Secret Service.
This time, it's all thanks to the reports from Yanzhi.
We never would have known the secret hidden in the walking stick otherwise.
That child is a talent! We must keep her on our side.
If we don't, the consequences are unthinkable.
Then what should we do next?
Continue the surveillance. Gather evidence.
Headquarters is preparing to take action.
They will reveal the mole in the Military Commission.
We must do our best to work with them!
-Yes!-Yes!
[Japanese] The report has been retrieved.
[Japanese] Watanabe.
[Japanese] A moment is approaching in which history will change.
[Japanese] The war will soon end.
[British Embassy Car Fleet]
What?
Old Jiang is not with the British Embassy's motorcade?
This is a missive from Leader Qing Mu.
Something must have happened along the way.
Where can he be?
Could they have changed plans at the last minute?
Look, fancy a leader of the country
hiding himself in a foreigner's motorcade to reach the front line.
He would lose face if it were leaked.
As I see things, since it was just a false alarm,
we shouldn't worry about it.
We should bide our time and carry on with our business.
On the road from Nanjing to Shanghai, the British motorcade
was met with Japanese bombers.
Do you know which important person was originally
meant to ride in the car? It was Councilman Jiang.
They wanted to kill the country's leader?
It's a shame. They fell for the trap.
The motorcade was filled with our people.
Some were hurt,
but we have totally exposed Feng Zixiong's
intelligence source. The mole in the Military Commission
and the one who stole the plan to seal off Yangtze River
are the same person.
[Nanjing]
The plan to eliminate Shadow's communication web is gradually being fulfilled.
The communist Underground Force member, Zhou Yuhao, the spy in the Military Commission,
is still unaware of it.
Right now, he has to carry out
his superior's special assignment.
[Blue Mountain Western Food Restaurant]
Sir, what can I bring you?
- I'm waiting for someone.- Very good.
We can't wait any longer. We have to finish off Lin Sheng from Confidential Affairs Bureau.
This should be the action team's work.
If they could, we wouldn't have needed to use you!
I'll be exposed.
You won't. Five hours from now,
someone will meet you at the Blue Mountain Western Food Restaurant.
He will arrange everything for you.
Then what's the secret code?
You came early.
I like the western chilled steak and mushroom soup here.
Enjoy.
It'll be 9 PM when we finish eating.
Let's go to Alice Nightclub.
There's an American Appreciation Ceremony tonight.
I'll get you into the event hall.
You will strike when Lin Sheng starts dancing.
When you finish,
exit by the servant's passage on the left of the hall.
I'll cover you to safety.
Remember, don't eat too much. You won't be able to run.
Perhaps, I won't be able to escape.
No. You can definitely escape.
We still have a plan B.
Hello. Papers, please.
Okay, please go in.
Hello. Papers, please.
I'll go touch up my makeup.
Hello, Division Chief Lin.
Hello, Division Chief Lin. [Division Chief of Confidential Affairs Bureau, Lin Sheng]
Are you all right?
Don't move! Don't move!
None of you move!
Cooperate with the investigation! Stop the music!
Cooperate with the investigation!
Please, excuse the interruption.
This is an order from the Defense Ministry.
An enemy spy
is hidden in this hall tonight
and is planning to create chaos!
Please separate by gender.
Take your own bags.
Cooperate with the investigation!
I came to protect your safety!
Search!
It's okay, don't be scared.
Hurry, come with me!
This way!
This way. Come in here!
Hide your gun in the toilet.
Change into these clothes and lie down.
We need an airtight story for when they search the rooms.
If it wasn't for him,
I would already be dead.
You won't die.
Our mission is to protect you,
to die in your place.
What is your name?
Is there a need to know?
[Guo Ji Produce]
Manna, if there's nothing to do then I'll go back now.
What's the rush?
Don't you like staying in my house?
I do!
I'll come again tomorrow.
If I asked you to stay with me,
would you be willing?
I-I didn't bring anything with me!
I insist you stay.
Manna,
you...
Look at how scared you are!
I just want you to stay with me!
We can talk about how to help in the resistance.
How about we start a performance troupe?
Performance troupe?
We can perform on the streets
to boost morale, or organize some donation drive.
It's settled then!
Now, go call your mother.
Let's go!
It's ringing!
Hi, Mom?
I'm going to stay at Manna's house tonight.
There's nothing wrong.
Really! Manna just-
I'll tell her. I'll tell her.
Auntie! Yanzhi isn't coming home tonight.
No, no! She should stay for a few more days.
Right, Yanzhi?
That's right, we are good friends.
Back in college, we couldn't spend time to together like this.
Yes! Yes! Don't worry about her staying here!
Eating chocolate cake every day?
She won't get fat.
Yanzhi would be pretty even if she got fat! She's pretty no matter what!
Yes, Auntie!
