Episode 2 -
Bring me a needle.
Still nothing?
Could it be within the foundation?
This foundation
should be Yanzhi's.
Junko's should still be with Yanzhi.
Could something have happened?
I'm saying... Yanzhi discovered this isn't hers.
Let's clarify Yanzhi's identity first.
This won't do.
Keep her here first.
Okay, I'll go do it.
This is mine.
I'm sorry.
I use the Twin brand, too. What a coincidence!
[Most Urgent. The Military Commission has planned to implement the blockade of Yangtze River plan.]
Who is it?
Yanzhi, the dance is about to start!
Why are you being so slow inside? Open up!
Yanzhi! I say, I-!
What are you doing, acting so suspicious?
Classmate Feng Manna,
can you imagine what the biggest thing was that happened inside this room?
You're not ill, are you?
You discovered your prince charming!
Look at you, yearning for love.
Are you pregnant?
What are you thinking about in that head of yours?
Stand straight!
I'm telling you. Right now, this war's fate
is in my hands!
My god!
No... you... Where did you get this from?
It was inside this foundation box.
My foundation was switched out. After we left the ship, it barely left my side.
Then that means... it was done by that Japanese spy?
Or else you were the one who did it.
Cut it out. Let's hurry and report this!
Report to who?
My dad, of course! He's the head of the Shanghai Secret Service branch!
He probably knows well how important this news is.
I think we should give it to to that Song Mian.
He's despicable, but we should leave this to them.
Song Mian? But... you don't even have his phone number or address.
How are you to find him?
If I want to find him, naturally I will be able to.
Dad! Dad! We discovered news from a female Japanese spy!
What female Japanese spy news?
The one that was taken away!
She hid the news with Yanzhi, and Yanzhi discovered it!
-Where is Yanzhi?-On the phone downstairs, getting ready to report!
Connect the call to the National Salvation Association in Shanghai.
Who cares who I am?
I'm telling you, I have important news for them right now. There's not a moment to spare!
Hello?
-Who is it?-They hung up.
Call and ask who called.
What joke are you playing?
Could the likes of you discover a Japanese spy news?
It's true! Ask Manna if you don't believe me!
What nonsense!
Can you yell this sort of thing out for the world to hear?
Let's talk in my library.
Boss, the phone call just now sounds like it was
from the house of the head of Secret Service branch.
-Feng Zixiong? -We tried calling back but calls couldn't be connected'.
It sounded like a young woman's voice, too.
I discovered news. Is it wrong to report it to the Secret Service?
Of course not. But...
you have to be certain of the new's validity.
That's right, Yanzhi. Your Uncle Feng is the head of the Secret Service branch.
He could access the intelligence reports from the Defense Ministry, so whether the intel is true or false,
your Uncle Feng will know it well.
Girl, the people from Shanghai branch are not to be trifled with.
If you got it wrong, you'll land yourself in serious trouble.
Dad! Why are you being so mean to Yanzhi?
You scared her!
It's nothing, really.
-Give it to me. It's just a few words, look!-Manna!
It's okay!
What intelligence report is this? You'll have to decode it first.
In the academy, they taught us
if we found relevant news, we have to protect it
and have the proper people deal with it. Just give it back to me.
You're very right.
I'll personally call the Shanghai branch.
I know the situation best, I'll call.
Do you know their phone number?
No.
Is this Shanghai Station?
We discovered something here.
Send someone to check it immediately. Yes, it's at my home.
The faster the better.
Okay, Yanzhi, don't worry!
Leaving this here is the safest.
Manna, I'm going to call home.
Miss Manna, may I have this dance?
Hello? This is the home of Leader Feng.
He just called you.
I just want to ask how long your people will take to come.
They have already set out. They will arrive in fifteen minutes.
Thank you.
Faster.
What are you doing?
I need to understand what this news entails.
Zixiong, have you gone crazy? You're sending yourself to your death!
If their people arrive, how are you to explain?
This is the only way.
[Most Urgent. The Military Commission has planned to implement the blockade of Yangtze River plan.]
[Gist of the plan. 1. Block the Jiang Yin Channel 2. All forts to prepare for war.]
[3.Yangtze coastal army to find opportunity to enter into position.]Yingzi got this top secret meeting minutes from the supreme headquarters of Nanjing Military Commission.
Then won't the Japanese Imperial Army fleet along the river be in trouble?
No wonder Chief Qing Mu said to get the information at all costs.
[Report from 601. Map of Jiang Yin fort and Wusongkou fort newly added cannons.]
-Intelligence report from 601. -601?
601 is Long'er's code name.
Long'er has discovered from his on-site investigation that from Jiang Yin fort to Wusongkou fort,
there are signs of expansion works.
Zixiong, think of something!
Their people will arrive really soon!
Let's do this. Let Adjutant Liu bring out the information. I will handle the situation here.
Go on.
Zixiong, tell me. Do you have a guarantee?
I must risk danger once.
Be careful.
Please.
You're from the Shanghai branch?
[Army Officer Pass]
I'll leave this place to you.
We unnecessary people will leave first.
Close the door!

There was nothing on the paper to start with.
Then I thought, if it was hidden so secretly, there must be a problem.
So I looked at it under the light.
Then the words appeared.
Be careful! Smoke if you want, just don't set the paper on fire.
How did you know to use heat to see it?
I read it in books.
Besides you, who else has seen this?
Manna... and Auntie Feng.
You have done more harm than good.
All those who have seen this paper must receive our interrogation.
I helped you and now you're suspecting me?
Because you know what you shouldn't know. You saw what you shouldn't have seen.
Thankfully, only one line showed up. If they all showed up,
you'd be in trouble.
What trouble?
This is a top level secret. If you saw it, you'd have to go back with us.
Okay. Are meals provided?
"Most urgent. The Military Commission has planned to
implement the blockade of Yangtze River plan. Gist of the plan.
1. Reinforce the construction works along Huangpu River.
2. To prevent the enemy army from entering through the river,
we intend to plant underwater mines along Huangpu River."
How has it become an intelligence report on the defense of Huangpu River?
This is too strange.
I distinctly saw high-end binoculars in Long'er's room.
What he should be observing is Chang Jiang.
Did we get something wrong?
Perhaps the Japanese army didn't get news of the plan to seal off Chang Jiang?
If it's like this, then it's our luck.
But this can't explain why Long'er was observing the defense forces on Yangtze River.
Could this news be fake?
Let's report to the Nanjing headquarters immediately!
If it's possible, I suggest bring forward the plan to seal off Yangtze River.
[Japanese] Such audacity.
[Japanese] To think they
[Japanese] dare to strike out at our naval forces.
[Japanese] "To Headquarters. Most urgent. Based on intelligence gathered from the enemy's supreme headquarters,
[Japanese] the plan to seal off Yangtze River is in progress.
[Japanese]Our spy has confirmed after a thorough investigation on-site that
[Japanese] the forts at Jiang Yin and Wusongkou
[Japanese] have signs of expansion works going on.
[Japanese] In no more than three days, the forts from Jiang Yin to Wusongkou
[Japanese] will fire shots from thousands of cannons of our naval fleet at the lower Yangtze River.
[Japanese] The life and death situation of our Imperial Army is hanging by a thread."
1937, late night on the 7th of August,
the Japanese naval and commercial fleet set sail urgently
towards the mouth of Yangtze River.
When the Chinese discovered their movements
and sent their fleet to intercept at Jiang Yin fort,
it was too late. They could only intercept two Japanese merchant ships.
Urgent telegram from the Defense Ministry.
Last night, all of the Japanese naval fleet and merchant ships on Yangtze River suddenly set sail,
moved towards the mouth of Yangtze River. This shows that our judgement was correct, the news is false.
Shang Feng called earlier, the Headquarters had known that
there's a mole from the Japanese Secret Services hiding in Nanjing Military Commission.
Code name is Yingzi.
He is Long'er's handler. The report that Long'er passed to Junko is most likely
the news of sealing off Yangtze River.
But how did the Yangtze River plan suddenly become Huangpu River plan?
It's a switch plan.
Then the most suspicious person should be Feng Zixiong.
All those who came in contact with the news are suspicious.
Including the little lady who discovered the news.
You're talking about that little lady Yanzhi?
If she's a spy, why did she willingly give us the news?
Then why did Junko give the news to her in a time of crisis?
If Yanzhi isn't on their side,
what use is giving out this information?
Perhaps she just didn't want us to get it.
She could have thrown it away when she ran off.
She didn't!
Besides, after the news was transferred to Yanzhi,
she was killed by her own people.
Is there anything left to say?
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Reporting.
Who are you? Why did you capture me?
Wretch!
Because you made mistakes in transmitting the intelligence,
we have lost two ships! Over 200 people!
How to make up for it?
Speak! While the news was being transferred,
what happened?
Talk!
Shoot. Shoot!
If I die,
have Song Mian come collect my body.
Have your Secret Service put a gravestone for me.
It's written on there, "The National hero Lan Yanzhi (Blue Rouge),
every year at new years, have that Song Mian come bow in front of my grave!"
Nonsense!
With only this weak pyschological resilience, how can you even be a secret service agent?
Hurry and let me go!
Lan Yanzhi, I'm Wan Zhichao, head of the National Salvation Association Shanghai branch.
How did you tell it was us?
There were too many loopholes.
Let's hear it.
Okay then.
The car stopped in the middle of the villa. I got off the car.
A rickshaw stopped at the villa. One person got off.
There was an army marching in the distance.
But what they wore weren't Japanese leather shoes.
They were Chinese military cloth shoes.
Later on, when I passed through the hallway...
Reporting.
I heard someone say "Reporting."
It was a very soft sound, but I could tell for sure that it wasn't Japanese.
Also! It's him!
Leader Song, don't you know the smell of your smoke is different from others?
You can tell it's me because of the smoke smell?
Of course not.
But the one who uses this dumb lighter every time is definitely you.
Every three times, it's like sending a telegraph.
If one is human, they can remember it immediately.
Platoon Leader Song, hurry and get a new one.
Head Leader Wan, is it?
Your subordinates exposed their identity so easily.
Shouldn't they have received criticism?
Sit wherever you want.
Sit.
I'm sorry. We were just following the rules earlier. We made you suffer.
Can I go now?
-I'm afraid you can't yet.-Why?
We can't tell you the details.
-Song Mian, explain the situation to her.-Yes.
Because the information you provided had a mistake last time,
it caused the command headquarters to make a wrong judgement.
There were large casualties. Because of your mistake,
you have already affected the entire Songhu battle's fate! Do you know?
We also hope that this has nothing to do with you.
So, you must remember properly.
From the moment you met that female spy on the ship,
until the moment we took the news away, the entire process.
I've already said what I need to say.
Did you leave anything out? Think!
Platoon Leader Song.
Let's do this. Write down the entire chain of events.
The more detailed, the better.
Especially what happened in Feng Zixiong's house.
Write!
Timing & subtitles brought to you by Love and HateTeam @ Viki
-I'll write it down at home.-Stop!
You should write it here. Once you're done, we'll send you back.
If I don't finish, I can't leave, is that it?
Write slowly. Tell us when you're done, we'll be nearby.
Platoon Leader Song, let's not bother Miss Lan anymore.
This little girl, her memory, attention,
and critical thinking skills are better than most people.
A talent!
Can I leave now?
You've worked hard. We'll escort you back.
There's no need. I'll leave myself.
What are you doing?
Sorry. According to the rules, we have to make you suffer a bit more.
We have to blindfold you.
- To fathom the heavens and the earth,- To predict life and death.

-Newspapers for sale!-Come look, I do fortune telling!
-Newspapers for sale!-I know everything from astrology to geography
-I do fortune telling!-Newspapers for sale!
Hurry up, driver.
All present! Move on quickly!
Aren't you sending me home? Why are we back again?
We already gave your home a call.
You'll stay to eat dinner and take a little test.
Who wants to eat dinner with you?
What test?
It's a test for talents like you.
Is this also according to the rules?
Just now, we made a big circle around the city.
-Can you--You want to ask me what people we met with, what they look like,
how many streets we passed by, and write them all down, right?
Smart!
Three hundred meters after leaving the exit, we went right
and entered the first small road.
There were a lot of people on the road.
There was a small child with a Subei accent selling buns.
And there was an old fortune teller with a Northeastern accent.
At that time, a public bus came from the opposite side of the road
and stopped at the bus stop on the opposite side.
Our car stopped.
A group of military officers passed by us.
There were six of them.
Where did they go?
They went to the platform that was across the way.
Can you speculate which platform it was?
But if you give me a map, then I can.
Map!
Yes!
[Yuyuan Road] [Next stop: Jingan]
It's here. Yuyuan Road. This station is at the Jingan government office.
If you go forward fifteen meters, it's the four way intersection.
Reporting!
Come in!
It's all ready.
Good.
Should you treat me to dinner now?
There is no other choice!
The little lady in front of us is the best choice!
I saw her blindfolded.
Find another person and blindfold them to test!
Get up!
I don't want to drag innocent people into this!
No one is innocent in war. No one deserves to die either!
Branch Leader!
Okay. Let's give her one more test.
If she succeeds,
then it's the fate the heavens gave her.
Do a test with us.
You're not done yet?
The last one.
Go out! Or else I'll go out.
I promise, it's the last time.
-What are you promising with?-My dignity.
After I finish my noodles.
Are you secretly in love with me?
You overthought things.
I'll give you five seconds to tell me how many petals are in my hand.
Five. Four. Three. Two.
163 petals.
One. Two.
156. 157. 158. 159.
160. 161. 162.
You're off by one.
163 petals.
It was just a warm up! The real thing is coming now!
I'll make it harder. This time, you have to count carefully
how many flower petals go up, and how many go down!
Do you guys have nothing to do?
Look carefully!
-Reporting!-Come in!
She got them all right?
Welcome to our team!
From today on, you are a member of the county's elite force!
I refuse.
The rise and fall of the nation is the concern of every man.
I'm not a man.
If even women have to go to war, what will you guys do?
We paid so many taxes to the country.
Where have they been used?
You're not willing to accept because you're afraid of the truth?
If the news leak has to do with Feng Zixiong's family,
then your best friend Feng Manna will also be dragged down.
You're afraid you'll be sorry to her.
I'll be honest with you. No matter if you're willing to accept this or not,
we will still investigate Feng Zixiong's family.
But if you are willing to join in,
perhaps you can still prove their innocence.
Feng Zixiong is the head of the logistics department in Shanghai.
If there's a problem with him, there will be large implications for the battle.
You know. If we lose,
what does that imply?
These are only the three provinces of East China.
If we lose, the entire country will be like this.
400,000 comrades, compared to one Feng Manna.
Do I need to go further?
Then even if... even if something's up with Feng Zixiong,
I believe Manna is innocent.
I hope you can let them go.
Okay.
Promise.
In the name of saving the country, I give my word.
So, I hope that you will, at Feng Zi Xiong's home,
stay for as long as you can.
Look for every clue, look at every corner.
Find out what makes sense, and what doesn't.
Take their conversations, even their expressions,
and remember them all and report them to me.

Ends of the fingers, moving across the long dark night
The flames, not knowing when will it be quenched
This separation we have never said our goodbyes
You and me
Gather some safflowers as we have promised
Hoping we’ll be together as our youth passes like a fleeting wave
But in a flash it’s already the end of time
It’s been a long time since we met
Lalalala who is there by the window
Lalalala whom is the heart pining for
Lalalala as love sways with the breeze
Lalalala someday
Lalalala dreams will come true
Lalalala love flings caution to the wind
Indistinctly the skies blossom into a lotus
Slowly it falls into the deep blue sea
Remembering that moment you smiled
It has never changed
Lalalala who is there by the window
Lalalala whom is the heart pining for
Lalalala as love sways with the breeze
Lalalala someday
Lalalala dreams will come true
Lalalala love flings caution to the wind
