Sparrow
Chongqing sent over a secret telegraph message
that they've confirmed that secret agent Rehmannia
has already successfully infiltrated the Special Agents Central Headquarters.
The 'Return to Zero' plan is just being kept inside the archive room.
I'll plan to steal it in the coming days.
Think of a way to investigate their backgrounds.
If we want him to continue investigating further, I must first betray you.
- Will he suspect that all of these were done by us?- He will.
- Someone sent me an accusation letter.- What will you do?
Conniving in secret, harboring evil intentions.
Episode 27
Because you told me last time that you will hit me every time you see me.
Oh, right, how could I have forgotten about that?
Oh, it's because I am not holding any flowers today. What will I use to hit you then?
Oh, there's water!
Just joking with you.
Ms. Li, can you do me a favor?
What favor?
My sister doesn't know that I'm working for the Japanese.
I also don't know what you do.
Thank you.
[Division Chief Office]
Are you suspecting me?
You tell me.
Then give me some money. Send me away like how you send away a rickshaw driver.
This way, you will be at ease.
Guilty?
Old Bi, if we are going to talk like this, then it's no fun anymore.
Raging due to humiliation.
Do you want to give me some grand service and see if you can make me admit after torture?
I really don't know if you are just a naturally good actor
or really so heartless.
Old Bi, you really are having it hard.
It is indeed not easy to be me.
Leading a pack of wolves all day, trying to earn a living.
On the outside, it looks so glorious. Everyone is envious of me.
Maybe one day, I'll just suddenly fall off my throne. I don't know how many people will even throw stones at me.
That's why you don't trust anyone.
You busy your self everyday, not in other things, but in scheming against other people.
Are you scolding me?
If I am you, I will also do the same.
Or else, if you don't scheme for a day, someone will scheme against you.
Will you also scheme against me?
If I say no, will you believe it?
If one day, I really do betray you,
what will you do?
Good brothers are very clear when it comes to counting debts. I will give you grand torture service and make you admit for your crimes.
- Is it delicious?- Very delicious, Sister Su. It tastes like the ones made by my mother.
That's good then.
Xiaonan, where is your province?
- Shaoxing in Zhejiang.- Oh...
Who else is in your family?
None anymore.
- Sister, how come you are so talkative when eating?- No...
Our family isn't also better.
Those heartless Japanese killed my man.
And in the end, they didn't even let my five year old son go.
Bastards...
Sorry, Sister Su. I made you remember your past painful memories.
It's fine. It's fine.
At this time, who doesn't have one or two tragic experiences?
But don't us who are living still have to continue living?
Enough already, Sister Su. Let's talk about something happy when eating.
- Eat more.- Right. Right.
Xiaonan, didn't you say that my cooking tastes the same as your mother?
Then come often next time. I'll make them for you.
Sure. Thank you, Sister Su. You really are so good to me.
Hurry. Give her some food.
No need. I'll do it on my own.
Eat some fish.
Hurry and serve her food.
Looks like there are a lot of people who want to see the world in chaos.
Guess who wrote this letter.
If it's not Li Moqun, it's Su Sanxing.
Reason?
Last time, we tricked Su Sanxing. When he went home and thought about it,
he surely have already realized that it was us who connived to harm him.
This time, he learned to behave properly and just threw a bomb secretly.
He wants us to lose our cool so we destroy our own formation.
Trying to drive a wedge between us?
You and Xu Bicheng are usually quite close. Didn't you notice anything?
How is her relationship with Tang Shanhai?
They indeed seem to be having some problems lately. Haven't you heard of it?
Tang Shanhai and Liu Meina seem to be having an affair.
The two of them are currently quarreling.
Then don't you exactly have the chance now to revive your old flame?
Cut it out. Xu Bicheng is Li Moqun's niece.
Just with this tensed relationship you have with Li Moqun, if she and I are together,
won't you drag me out to feed to your dog?
Then tell me. Could it be that their relationship is not really that good to begin with?
I don't know about this.
A pampered son like Tang Shanhai who pays a lot attention to proper decorum,
even if they do fight everyday at home, he still won't want to be embarrassed when outside.
I am unable to decipher this matter.
Then haven't you heard anything about this from Li Xiaonan?
Li Xiaonan?
We have broken up.
Xiaonan, if you have time in the future, come over here often.
Thank you, Sister Su. Hurry and go back in. No need to send me off.
I won't anymore. I'll just let Su Sanxing take you home.
We will get going then.
- Goodbye.- Okay. Goodbye.
Stinky bastard, his eyesight is quite not bad.
Thank you.
Thank me for what?
My sister still thinks up to now that I am still killing Chinese traitors who are siding with the Japanese.
Then why did you join the Special Agents Central Headquarters?
So as to live better.
In the past, I used to be very determined to kill all the traitors in this world.
Who would have thought that I, myself, will become one of those traitors?
Everyone has their own predicament.
Don't you hate the Japanese or the Chinese traitors?
What's the use of hating them?
As a weak woman, I can't do anything.
My mother said before that it's better to have a bad life than to be dead.
Ms. Li, where is your family?
Dead already.
An epidemic. All are dead.
Because I came to Shanghai to work with a co-villager of mine,
that's why I was able to escape it.
So sorry.
It's fine.
We all are people with the sad plights.
If you need something in the future,
anything that you will need me for, just tell me.
You are planning to court me, am I right?
I do know martial arts.
I'm going now. No need to walk me home.
Bye-bye.
Are we done talking? Can I go now?
Wait. Last statement.
Just one statement. If you make another one, I'll ask money for it.
The Sparrow of the Underground Communist Organization is starting to move again.
There are also information from the Service Office Mei of Kagesa that got leaked.
They said that they have arrested a communist rebel.
Before that person died, he admitted to be under Sparrow.
Aren't you Sparrow?
You couldn't really have been sent by Li Moqun, right?
Is he asking us to work again?
Kagesa's office just got two telegraph detector vans sent here to Shanghai.
They need us to send over two people to assist them.
Choose some people in the Division to undergo training.
Hey, are you really treating me like a jack of all trades?
When have I let you suffer?
You said a total of four statements earlier. Removing the first one, there are three statements in total that you have to give money for.
You're really ruthless.
Go and gamble already.
Wish me good luck.
Little rascal...
I must go back and calculate it well.
If I sold you out, how much can I earn?
If there comes a day that I really betrayed you,
what will you do?
Sparrow has resurfaced again.
This famous Communist special agent is like a legendary tale
that strikes terror in the heart of the Japanese and the Reorganized National Government's Special Agents organization.
It also made Chen Shen feel a strange sense of pride.
He suddenly remembered his deceased sister-in-law, Prime Minister.
If she is still alive, she surely will be happy for another of Sparrow's victory.
While he won't be like he is now,
alone and lonely, persisting in fighting.
Aiyo, Xiaonan, I am already very happy that you can come to visit me.
Let me tell you. You must not bring anymore things next time.
Save those money for your wedding.
If you get married, you have to stay at home. Do you know that?
What's wrong?
Sister Lanzhi, Chen Shen doesn't want me anymore.
You two...what happened to you two again? Tell me.
I also don't know. What's really wrong with me?
He just doesn't love me.
Not true, Xiaonan. You are very good. Believe me.
You are very good. It must be Chen Shen who is wrong.
What happened to him? Did he bully you? Tell me. I'll go scold him.
- Sister Lanzhi.- Yes?
If I don't end up with Chen Shen,
will you still acknowledge me as your little sister?
Of course! What nonsense are you thinking?! Of course, I will. In this life, I am determined to have you as my little sister.
Let me tell you. If Chen Shen bullies you, I can disown him as my little brother!
Don't be sad. If you are like this, I'm really sad too.
Xiaonan, I have an idea.
Do you know that Chen Shen has an adopted son in the orphanage called Pi Pi?
He loves him so much as if he is his own son.
I'll take you to see him. If Pi Pi also like you and all of us like you,
what reason does he still have to not marry you?
- Adopted son?- That's right.
Pi Pi.
Wow! So great! So great!
Great, right?
Come. Hold this.
Wow! So great! So great!
Mrs. Bi.
- Drink some water.- Thank you.
What do you think of Chen Shen's girlfriend?
Good. Good.
Say, Chen Shen should really look for a wife already.
Isn't it?
Pi Pi!
- So great! So great!-Pi Pi, come, come.
Pi Pi, let's go drink some tea, okay?
Let's go. Go.
- Come. Oh, my, you are full of sweat from playing.- Sit down.
- Here, Pi Pi.- Pi Pi, let me ask you.
Did you adoptive father come visit you recently?
Chen Shen has not visited for quite some time already.
- Come, drink some water.- Pi Pi, look.
This is for you. This is called a treasure chest.
- Wow!- In it, there is a picture book.
And also, Chinese chess pieces. You love it?
If you have any wish, just draw it and put it inside.
Maybe in the future, your wish will come true.
Come. This is for you.
Are you happy?
[Division Chief Office]
[The Nationalist Government has already ordered Special Agent Rehmannia who has infiltrated the Special Agents Central Headquarters to look for the 'Return to Zero' plan.]
[From the information received by Chongqing, the Communist special agent Sparrow is also looking for the same plan. From, Leopard]
Bi Zhongliang didn't really tell Chen Shen the exact details of that letter.
In reality, in that letter, the tipster already pointed out
that Chen Shen might be Sparrow
and that Tang Shanhai is Rehmannia.
Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng are only a fake married couple.
Tang Shanhai and Chen Shen have already made an alliance through their relationships with Xu Bicheng.
Before today, Bi Zhongliang still thought
that it was just a conjecture by a tipster who wanted chaos.
But this secret information sent by the secret agent Leopard in Chongqing,
sent shivers down Bi Zhongliang's spine.
If all the conjectures in that accusation letter are true,
how can him, now being surrounded by his enemies, deal with it?
[Service Office Mei]
Has the training of the telegraph personnel started?
General Kagesa, it has already started.
- Division Chief Bi.- Yes.
Do you know that Supervisor Li Moqun
has a reason for always being dissatisfied with you?
May General Kagesa enlighten me.
In the destroying of the Shanghai division of the Nationalist government, your achievement cannot be denied.
But in the matter of catching Sparrow,
you kept being unable to come up with a good idea.
Don't say just Supervisor Li, even I can't help but suspect
that you, Division Chief Bi, take pity on the communists.
General Kagesa, there is definitely no such thing!
Each day that Sparrow isn't eliminated, I also can't eat or sleep well.
How can I have compassion for them?
Sparrow hasn't been arrested yet and now, a Rehmannia from the Nationalist Government has appeared.
Division Chief Bi, Supervisor Li has already suggested to me numerous times
to choose another talented individual to replace this division chief position of yours
but I kept being unable to decide on it.
But if you still doesn't score an achievement,
I also can't find a better excuse to convince Supervisor Li.
After all, your Special Operations Division is directly under the Central Headquarters.
I understand.
Actually, the reason I came here today to see you is to talk about this matter.
I already received reliable information
that Sparrow and Rehmannia are both trying to find a chance to steal the 'Return to Zero' plan.
Even a top level secret like the 'Return to Zero' plan also got leaked out?
Looks like the Special Agents Central Headquarters are not really doing their job well in keeping secrets.
General Kagesa, please calm down. Although the 'Return to Zero' plan is top secret,
there were a lot of people involved with it
so it can't be helped to have flaws and leaks.
But I already have a good plan.
I can lure Sparrow and Rehmannia to come out.
How about letting me beat them at their own game, lure the snake to come out of its lair?
Liu Meina trusts Tang Shanhai now.
When does he plan to take action?
Shanhai said that after he stole Liu Meina's keys last time in the car,
Liu Meina thought that she lost the keys herself.
These days, she's been more careful,
so it'll be harder to carry out the plan.
That's for sure.
Liu Meina's birthday is in a few days. Let's plan to
invite Liu Meina out and let Shanhai take action.
Then, we need to find a way to help Tang Shanhai.
Really? You don't even touch her anymore?
Yes.
She sleeps in the bedroom, and I sleep in the study.
Does she not fight with you?
You know Xu Bicheng's personality.
She acts aloof and condescending. She wouldn't begin fights with me.
That's right! She's unlike me.
All day, I think about how to make you happy.
Of course I know that you treat me well.
Your birthday is almost here, right? What gift would you like?
How did you know?
If I wanted to know, I would have a way.
You've changed so fast.
Previously, when you wanted to buy a gift for your wife, I helped you come up with the ideas.
Maybe the person from before isn't the one I truly like.
You are a very teachable person.
Hello?
Yes, Division Chief.
What do you think about Liu Meina?
Liu Meina...
She's very steady in her work, but she gossips a lot.
But she's still very smart.
In the past, when you asked me to find Chen Shen's briefcase in his office,
she was the one who covered me up.
Let me do this manual labor.
Team Leader Chen is a flower
in our Division. So many girls want to marry him.
Really?
Yes. I'm certain that she saw me,
but she didn't expose me.
Division Chief, were you looking for me?
Come, sit.
Meina, these days, you had to reorganize the files in the archives room.
It's heavy workload. It must have been hard for you.
It's not hard work. It's only my job.
Plus, Team Leader Chen helps me.
My work efficiency doubles when working with a familiar colleague.
In the past, I considered you and Chen Shen.
You two are both unmarried.
I was thinking for you two to get married.
Team Leader Chen is a man of striking appearance.
Many girls like him. I can't win him over. I don't dare to think about it.
What about Team Leader Tang? Do you like him?
Division Chief, what kind of joke is this?
Even if I like Team Leader Tang,
Team Leader Tang is another woman's husband.
I don't dare to think about it even more.
But I've noticed that Team Leader Tang has been visiting you frequently.
Division Chief, it's not only Team Leader Tang.
Men always visit my office.
Have you heard Team Leader Tang complain about
Ms. Xu and Chen Shen's relationship?
This... Is this related to our work?
Well... D-Divison Chief, I didn't mean that.
I have a duty to respond to questions relating to work,
but if it's not related to work,
I can't talk about others' privacy. Don't you agree?
In this world, there are two types of people.
One type is self-knowledgeable.
These people know what things should and shouldn't be done.
The other type is self-conceited.
These people think that they can temporarily hide from everyone's sight,
but they'll be exposed eventually. Don't you agree?
I'm a dumb woman. I don't have any hidden schemes.
I just want to marry a good man and live a stable life.
I have no other thoughts.
Of course I know that.
I know that you are a smart girl, Meina.
Thus,
I have a task for you.
Only you and I know about this task.
You cannot leak it to anybody.
Otherwise, the Japanese will hunt us down.
- Meina, are you leaving work?- Yes.
Let's go eat dinner together.
I've been eating out too frequently. I'm getting fat.
I can't even fit in my cheongsam anymore. No thanks.
Let's drink coffee!
Kaisiling Coffee is pretty good. I'll treat you to coffee.
Coffee is even worse! If I drink coffee, I can't sleep at night.
Thank you, Secretary Qian. Next time.
Next time, then! You must come next time!
Sister Na, are you leaving work?
- Are you also leaving?- Yes.
A few girls from Mee Koo May wanted me to help them retrieve their cheongsams from Shengji.
Team Leader Chen, you're so considerate to girls.
By the way, I heard that you wanted a cheongsam exactly like the ones in movie posters, right?
Yes! I looked last week, but Shengji didn't have my desired fabric.
I went last time, and they have new fabric stocks.
- Really?- Yes. Let's go together.
- Okay!- Let's go.
Let's go.
Have you decided what birthday present to give Liu Meina?
I'll give whatever she likes.
How do you know what she likes?
She's unlike you. If she likes something, she'd tell me.
Chen Shen said he's taking Meina to buy a new cheongsam
for her to wear on her birthday.
Once she wears a cheongsam, she can't keep her keys with her.
That's right. That's exactly what Chen Shen said.
This way, she'll put the keys in a purse.
Then, we can find a chance to get that purse
to find the true keys to the archives room.
We don't know if she'll wear a cheongsam that day.
A woman is willing to die for beauty. She will wear it.
It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm really missing the zongzi from Old Tao's family.
This is it.
So pretty!
These fabrics have almost run out.
There are only enough to make two more cheongsams.
Miss Liu, if you had come tomorrow, I would have run out of this fabric.
Master Sheng, what's wrong with you?
Didn't I tell you last time to call me once the fabric arrives?
How could you forget?
Huh? Look at me. I'm sorry, Miss Liu.
My business has been too busy lately.
I'm getting old, so my memory is deteriorating, so I forgot.
Please forgive me.
I can forgive you, but you need to rush the creation of my cheongsam.
I need to wear this next Friday.
Okay, okay. I'll try my best.
Why do you need to wear such pretty clothing?
It'll be my birthday.
You're definitely wearing it for a certain man to see.
I'm already 26 years old. I want to marry somebody before I turn 27.
Of course I need to hurry.
Miss Liu, take a look. Which buckle do you like?
They're all so pretty.
Team Leader Chen, you have good taste. Help me pick one.
This one.
Why?
This fabric is already fancy enough, so the buckle doesn't need to be too sumptuous.
Moreover, the most important aspect of the buckle is its ability to be easily loosened.
Okay! Master Sheng, it'll be this one.
Okay, choose this one, then.
- Let's take your measurements now.- Okay!
- Hey.- Division Chief.
Sanxing, why are you still here?
Oh, I'm on duty tonight.
Have you gotten your salary for this month already?
I have. Thank you for your care, Division Chief.
If you need any help with difficulties in your life, be sure to ask me, okay?
I have no difficulties. Everything is fine.
The Dragon Boat Festival is next month.
My wife made some zongzi for the men in the division.
Later, I'll ask Erbao to deliver some to your house.
How could I possibly ask you to do that?
We're brothers. Why are you being so courteous?
I thank Division Chief and your wife.
Sanxing,
stop drinking.
Look at me. Usually, I like to heat up my alcohol.
I didn't consider the fact that others aren't used to it.
Framing. This is clearly a frame!
Su Sanxing!
You're too impulsive. General Kagesa is sitting here.
I can't believe Bi Zhongliang planned such a big trap
just to oppose me.
[Team 3 Leader Office]
It's already been days since we sent out that accusation letter.
How come there aren't any movements from Bi Zhongliang's part?
Since I've been here, I noticed
that Bi Zhongliang is a person that will never trust anyone.
Although he appears to not be doing anything, he might already have a plan set up.
I am Su Sanxing.
Division Chief.
Night snacks? Sure.
I surely will be there.
Team Leader Su, how is it going?
A stone thrown will surely make ripples in the water.
Burlington Hotel
221B Baker Street
Sanxing, since you came to the Special Operations Division, I have never really gave you a welcome party.
And also before, we had some unnecessary misunderstanding.
The meal today is one, to welcome you.
Second, I want to apologize to you.
I dare not accept that...
Division Chief, I should be the one to apologize to you.
I didn't understand the rules and caused you a lot of trouble.
Division Chief, I am already grateful that you are willing to forgive me for my mistakes.
I'll then drink this all first to show my respect.
Come. Let's eat. Let's just chat while eating.
Actually, I also know very clearly
that it's hard for you to be stuck in between me and Supervisor Li.
No such thing...
Division Chief, I owe both you and Supervisor Li for being kind enough to recognize my potential and hire me.
It's just right for me to serve you two.
Actually, to put it more bluntly, we all are serving the Japanese.
Do you know what matter makes General Kagesa's head aches the most now?
Please explain it to me.
Sparrow and Rehmannia.
I have always felt that Sparrow and Rehmannia are hiding inside the Special Operations Division.
Then Bi Zhongliang's responsibility for it will be huge.
And General Kagesa has already gave an order
to immediately arrest these two people.
That's why, I need you to help me.
I need you to help me complete the mission this time.
Division Chief, don't say that.
It's right for me to risk my life and go through fire and water just for you.
This whole mission this time
will be executed by the two of us.
Aren't Team Leader Chen and Team Leader Tang joining?
A few days ago, I received an accusation letter.
The letter said that Chen Shen might be the Sparrow that's hiding in here
and Tang Shanhai is Rehmannia.
The two of them might have already made an alliance with each other.
No way.
You really think that way?
Division Chief, in your heart, you surely understand it more than I do.
And also, he also said that the two of them are looking for a top secret 'Return to Zero' plan inside the Special Agents Central Headquarters.
'Return to Zero' plan?
This plan is enough to let Old Jiang and the Communist Organization
to be totally eliminated.
So you mean...
Then let's just take this plan out.
Let's see who wants to get near it.
Whoever shows real interest to it
are Sparrow and Rehmannia.
Brother Bian Tou, are you really going to be the one paying today?
Of course. Although I am not as generous as my boss,
I am not really that petty, either. Right?
Let's not eat in a food stall today. Let's eat at...Huamao Restaurant.
Huamao Restaurant? That's like you are the boss already.
Bian Tou, did you bring your wallet?
I did.
Didn't you tell me this morning that your wallet got confiscated by your actress girlfriend?
Zhu Zhu?
She insists on being my wife and took my wallet way.
I don't really put much importance on money.
If she wants to take it, then just let her take it.
- Let's go.- Bian Tou hasn't yet married his girl but has already being strictly controlled by her.
- Get in the car.- That's right.
[Mee Koo May]
We're here.
- Let's go in.- Go.
Guard the car.
Boss, you two go up first. I'll just go to the bathroom.
You are not planning to run away from the bill, right?
No way. Going now.
- No. 6. We'll be waiting for in room number 6.- Sure.
Mister, hello. How big is your party?
- You're new here?- Yes.
Give me room 6.
So sorry, mister. There is already a guest in room number 6 today.
Then just give us another one then.
Then...how about room 12?
- Okay. Let's go.- Mister, please come with me.
Come.
Sanxing, after you, I have to entertain another guest. I'll let Erbao take you home first.
No need. I can go back by my own.
You must complete the task I instructed you to do before Chen Shen returns to the division.
- I surely will complete it.- Okay.
Come, Sanxing needs a listening device. Just get one from my small storage room.
Take him to exit through the back door.
Yes, Division Chief.
- Farewell.- Okay.
Aren't we supposed to eat in room 6? How come we ended in here?
There are someone in there. Can't do anything about it. Who did you see?
- None. The waiter was just cleaning up the table.- No one?
