Episode 22
You keep locking yourself up in your office eating catered food. If you get any skinnier,
one gust of wind will blow you away.
I have no appetite.
What? Lan Yanzhi still won't confess?
It seems like you care more about her than me.
I came out with you today
to hear you say one honest word.
Every word between us is honest.
Is that so?
Just who are you?
Which side are you on?
Why did you get close to me?
I am the one you love.
I am also the one that loves you!
You only need to remember that.
Then why did you use the secret egg code to send a message?
What?
Why did you use the secret egg code to send a message?
I was the one that cracked that code.
You were there then.
But we're the only two who know it!
-Was Chief Qing Mu the one that told you?-No!
It's the report from the radio department.
But I already dealt with it.
No one else will find out.
But San Ge,
you really cannot trick me.
You can't trick me!
Besides you, I have nothing else!
Enough, Manna.
Tell me. What did the radio message say?
Money mold, money mold, money mold!
You're being ridiculous.
Why didn't you tell the higher ups?
If something happened, could you take responsibility for it??
If there's really a mole,
all those who took part in the secret service special meeting are suspicious.
How about this?
Go and report to the secret service right now.
I'll go investigate.
We will definitely find the mole.
Not many people know about this, right?
It used the code that Yanzhi brought in.
Isn't that code already useless?
Yes, so we don't know if it's from an enemy or a friend.
No matter what, we have to be prepared for the worst.
The crisis now is getting Manager Cao's money making machine and money mold
and move them away.
Doesn't Lan Changming have those things?
Lan Changming has half, and Manager Cao has the other half.
It is probably hidden in Central Bank's storage warehouse.
Only when the two halves will we have the four banks' unique money mold.
We first had to get Lan Changming's half because
he was watched by the Secret Squad headquarters.
Now Yanzhi is captured.
Something may happen to Lan Changming.
So we have to first transfer out Manager Cao's half.
Even if Lan Changming's money mold
fell into the Secret Squad headquarter's hands,
the Japanese would have no way of using half a money mold
to create real money.
Within three days, we must
find Manager Cao's money printing machine and money mold and move it out of Shanghai.
Yes.
That night, Manager Cao who received a secret message
brought the money mold to Pudong,
waiting to meet with people from Chongqing.
What's wrong?
I'm okay!
Who's there?
-Split up! You all go over there, let's go!-Yes
Hurry!
Don't move!
Leave the case behind.
Leave the case behind, you can go.
What are you doing?
Boss, why aren't why saving him?!
It's useless! He's already dead!
It's too dangerous. Let's go back first.
Then how are we to explain to the Branch Leader?
I will. Let's go!
Just what is it that must be hidden away?
He had to fall into the river.
I also want to take a look.
-Yes!-Yes!
Central Bank's note printing machine.
Miss Manna. You've really opened my eyes!
Chief. My surprise for you isn't just this.
Miss Manna. I want to take you somewhere.
Yes.
You failed again.
Platoon Leader Song, you are really capable.
-Branch Leader--Don't explain.
You don't need to explain.
If you want to explain, then go report to headquarters in Chongqing.
It's enough that the printing machine fell into the Japanese's hands.
Those two money molds...
I've reminded you repeatedly! You!
Even both of us added together can't make up for it!
Reporting!
Come in!
Branch leader, Chongqing headquarters sent a message.
Tell me.
Tell me!
Actually, they just gave two words. Why don't you look yourself?
Deserve to die.
Get lost! Leave!
[Deserve to die.]
You are my only card left.
Yanzhi...
Qing Mu Wu Zhong from Secret Squad headquarters.
Shan
Miss Manna, let's go.
Shan Agency, also known as Ban Tian Agency.
It's attached to 9th Army Technical Research Laboratory,
under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Army General Staff headquarters.
it is also the research facility of the highest security.
It's established under the direct orders of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.
Such a secretive place,
you are the first lucky Chinese person to come in.
Let me introduce.
He is the head of Shan Agency, General Oshima.
She is Section Chief of Secret Squad's Investigation Bureau, Miss Manna.
Hello, Miss Manna.
Hello.
Miss Manna, please sit!
Miss Manna, please have some tea.
Thank you.
You're very curious, right?
Why does my office have so many butterfly specimens?
Yes. I thought I'm in a butterfly museum.
Butterflies are the most beautiful.
I love everything that is beautiful.
If you are interested, Miss Manna,
we can investigate preserved insects together.
Let's talk about serious matters.
Have you brought the money mold?
How beautiful!
Please.
Making money is a very complicated matter.
The real money mold is carved by human hands.
There are 10 lines carved withiin every milimeter.
The Chinese way of printing notes is a combination of American and British ways.
The core techniques of paper, secret marks and serial number,
we still haven't fully grasped it.
It is very hard to make it look real.
Look. This is real money.
We have always been experimenting.
But we are still very far from making it passable.
The lines of the money aren't clear enough.
If you look at it carefully, you can still tell.
The counterfeit money from Watanabe was made here too?
It was discovered within a moment.
So...we have to find the real money mold.
And make real money.
That's right.
This is top secret order regarding the currency war from the command headquarters.
Gist of currency war.
To cause a breakdown of the currency system which is under the governance of Chiang Kai Shiek,
so that they lose the ability to resist the war.
Assist the Nanjing government to build up new financial order,
to seek co-prosperity in Greater East Asia.
Its code name is Shan Assignment.
As long as we can complete this mission,
it means we have destroyed all of the enemy's forces.
Chief.
I didn't think that the two money molds we got were so important.
But we can't be happy too soon.
Because we only have part of it.
We still need the other two pieces of the money mold.
Only then can we print real money bills.
At the moment, what you need to do
is to make the counterfeit money flow into the market.
Not just to any regular market, but the financial sector.
Bank?
The Chinese banks.
For example...Lan Changming.
Use Lan Changming's Jing Xin Bank to give out counterfeit money?
Smart girl.
It's just...I'm afraid they won't work with us so easily.
Isn't Lan Yanzhi in your hands?
Manna. Remember this.
A true master cannot be trapped by the emotions before them.
You have to keep an eye on the big picture.
Consider the outcome of the war always.

Hello, Sir. Are you taking a picture or picking one up?
Is the owner here?
I'm here.
How about this? Go deliver these photos to this address.
Okay.
Please come in.
That child's name is Ah Chun.
I brought him from base camp.
He knows how to send telegrams and help you with some of the work.
He doesn't look like he has much experience.
His parents are martyrs. He's a reliable person.
-There's something I need to report to you.-Go ahead.
When you weren't here, I used the telegraph.
What was the message?
The Japanese got news
the money printing mold is in Shanghai.
They are searching for it. If they succeed,
the entire Asian economy will be in chaos.
The ones that will suffer is still the common people.
They want to distribute counterfeit money?
It was an emergency situation, and you weren't there. I had no other choice.
I could only risk the danger and use Yanzhi's half of the code
and sent a warning to Shanghai.
Was there a response?
There was little time. I left after sending the message.
The news was sent out.
The Secret Squad would have intercepted it.
The risk of your exposure is even bigger.
When I sent out the message
I already came up with my future plan.
This radio was lost at The Great World.
So Qing Mu and Manna both suspect me.
Now the radio has appeared again.
We can use this radio to send another message.
And send the clue somewhere else.
It's just, that radio might have to be sacrificed.
Even one hundred radios can't make up for your worth.
Speak. Where do you want to send the clue to?
Chen Jianlun. Chief of the action team.
He has drawn many subordinates of Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong to his side.
Besides Manna at the secret service headquarters, he has the most power.
Those two dislike each other very much too.
Du Yuesheng is currently in Hong Kong.
The radio and code were snatched by his subordinates.
They have close ties with Chen Jialun.
So the news of the money mold was sent over from Chen Jialun.
They want to use this to trade with the Shanghai branch.
Do you think this line of logic would work?
Didn't you already think of it long ago?
Just tell me how I can help.
Let's set on the time.
Have Ah Chun send the message out as I arrange it. Remember,
he must leave as soon as the message is sent.
I will bring people over.
[If you want to know the whereabouts of the printing mold, prepare 3kg gold bars. Set a day to meet. From someone you know.]
Record down immediately! Look at what the message says.
-You, come with me!-Yes!
Ba Ye, stay here at the entrance.
-Everyone else, go in to search!-Yes!
Reporting! We found it!
-Bring it back.-Yes!
Let's go!
This is the secret message we just intercepted. It's been decoded.
These words
proves my deductions about a mole earlier.
Based on this message's contents, this person
isn't someone who has been hidden among us for a long time.
Instead, it is a person who wants to use the money mold [If you want to know the whereabouts of the printing mold, prepare 3kg gold bars. Set a day to meet. From someone you know.]
for selfish gains.
He may really know where the code is.
He may also want to use the code to make a profit.
If it's the latter, there won't be any serious consequences.
But if it's the former...
So, we must find him immediately.
And ask him where the money mold is.
Perhaps we can observe and follow him.
Let him take us to the money mold without him knowing.
Who could it be?
It's not you, it's not me. It's not a Japanese either.
There are so many Chinese inside the Secret Squad headquarters.
Who would be so daring to risk their lives to earn money?
Do you have any guesses?
Chen Jialun...
What are you doing?
Report to the Secret Service!
Report what? Do you have evidence?
Isn't this evidence?
These are clues.
Suspecting Chen Jialun is just our deductions.
We sell our lives for the front lines but he plays double agent behind us?
He got you this hurt too! Are we just going to let it go?
Wait a bit longer, when he reveals more clues.
I'm sorry.
I made you suffer.
There are a few new missions.
I need you all to work to finish them.
Ribo Yefu, a Russian, has some news.
The army is interested in this news.
But based on our tenuous relationship,
it's not convenient for us to personally ask for it.
Ribo Yefu lives in the French Concession.
We don't want to create any conflicts between countries either.
The army doesn't wish that Ribo Yefu
will realize the news has disappeared.
If there are any losses,
they don't wish that it was done by our own people.
This is the first mission.
The second...the war is continuing.
We need a large amount of American money and gold bars
to buy American weapons.
The headquarters hope we can use multiple methods
and multiple paths to gather money.
From today on,
the real financial war
is just beginning.
Mr. Zhou, you're not joking are you?
You said she hasn't slept for eighteen days?
Yes.
She's already gone past the limit a human being can take.
A strong person like that, there's nothing she can't do.
I think we should use that sort of talent for ourselves.
But can we do it?
We might still need some time for her to join us.
But what Chief mentioned about previously
the Russian news and gathering of American notes in the French Concession,
I think we can give it to her to do.
Would she listen to you?
I'll give it a try.
How much of a guarantee do you have?
100%.
How confident of you.
It looks like I have no reason to reject your idea.
It's just...we can't let her escape again.
Don't worry, Chief.
If she runs off, I'll give you my life.
-Turn off the music.-Yes.
You've finally made it through.
How many...
How many days has it been...?
Eighteen days.
The previous record
was twelve days.
Let me sleep a while.
Just a while.
I've been through this round before too.
Let go of me!
Hello Uncle Lan.
Long time no see. Do you want to see your daughter?
Yanzhi?
She's inside this villa.
Guess where she is.
Yanzhi. Yanzhi! Yanzhi!
Do you want a heroic warrior?
Or do you want an alive and kicking daughter?
Lan Changming! Look carefully!
Don't!
Don't! Don't!

Do you want him to see the way you are right now?
If you joined the military to protect the country, then within your ability,
you should also protect your family and their safety.
Talk. What do you want me to do?
Do something that doesn't go against your conscience or belief.
If you work with us, I can guarantee your father's safety.
Don't...
Mr. Lan! The next time will be for real.
What do you want?
What do you want me to do?
I promise you anything!
Just let go of my daughter!
I'm begging you! I'm begging you!
I'm begging you!
Let go of my daughter!

Save your family. We won't make it hard on you.
[Trust in me.]
If you're willing, then use this syringe and inject in your veins.
Within 24 hours, if I don't give you another shot,
then you won't regain consciousness. The doctor will diagnose as a heart attack.
Sleep here for a while.
Five hours later, we'll set out. Come on.
I want to buy shares in Jing Xin Bank.
I want 50% of the shares. We will split the profit in half.
This...that's it?
Okay. I agree.
Go back and prepare all the stuff. I will come find you for them at any time.
I will use cash to buy the shares.
But...doing this...
why are you doing this?
You'll know why in the future.
The target is Ribo Yefu, a Russian.
He and his Chinese lover Ruan Qing Qing
live in a villa in the Shanghai International Settlement.
That place is very open and wide. There're no neighbors nearby.
He and his lover are the only ones in the house, along with a driver and a butler.
Tonight their whole family will go to a theater in the French Concession to watch a play.
The play starts at 7:30, and ends at 9:40 pm.
You have three hours including travel time.
The intelligence we want is probably in his safe.
The safe is behind the portrait in his bedroom.
It's a roll of film.
This is the room's map. I'll tell you now.
the alarm code and the safe code.
You all know it so well already.
Why not do it yourself?
Knowing and doing are two different things.
Just like an airplane maker will not be a pilot.
This is Ribo Yefu's villa.
The road we took here is your retreat route tonight.
Can you remember it?
It's all here. If you don't say so many things, I can remember it even better.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2, we'll wait for you here.
Bring what we want. If anything happens,
for your parents' safety, it's best for you not to tell about us.
