Sparrow
Just yesterday,
Su Sanxing has caught Du Huanle and he already confessed
that he was supposed to meet with the Superior of the Underground Communist Shanghai District One's communications line with code name Doctor
here.
If we are able to catch that person with code name Doctor,
we then can catch the Sparrow that's hiding among us.
I will think of a way to send Su Sanxing away.
Take your men and you must surround this area.
Catch this big fish before he does!
Never thought that it's you.
Episode 52
Aren't you afraid that I drugged the alcohol?
Since you said that you'd treat me respectfully,
you wouldn't stoop so low as to drug me.
Moreover,
you can't bear for me to die so soon.
You are so smart. Here.
Miss Li, cheers.
Good. Let's talk about serious business.
I'm most curious about how
you managed to play the most elite men of Central Headquarters like toys.
That's an overstatement. It's not that complicated.
At first, I was only using my courtship of Chen Shen
to hide my identity,
helping me to approach the superiors of Operations Division.
I always wanted to get some intelligence from Chen Shen.
Sadly, his heart belongs to somebody else. He didn't mind me at all.
His heart belongs to somebody else?
You mean, he likes another woman?
Yes. The woman he likes
is your cousin's daughter, Xu Bicheng.
Lies!
Continue talking.
Everyone knows that Xu Bicheng is a nationalist special agent.
Although Chen Shen didn't care about me,
I borrowed my relationship with Chen Shen...
Oh, I almost forgot. With Mrs. Bi's help,
I became neighbors with Xu Bicheng.
Xu Bicheng was very willing to share with me the intelligence that she received.
We used Chen Shen together.
We made Chen Shen unknowingly help us with a lot of things.
Sadly, Xu Bicheng and Tang Shanhai were exposed too soon.
But as their comrade, I needed to return their favor.
When their identities were exposed, I helped them.
Turns out you leaked the information at the hospital.
Director Su,
if without your help, I wouldn't have been able to deliver the information.
How did I help you?
I was the only one capable of delivering the news.
You were so eager to take me to the hospital. Of course I need to thank you.
But of all these smart men here,
nobody suspected me.
Did this really happen?
Why did nobody stop her?
Now, let's talk about my ties with Division Chief Bi.
Division Chief Bi's wife, Liu Lanzhi,
cares a lot for Chen Shen.
She was eager for Chen Shen to get married.
I used this to win her over.
I also used Liu Lanzhi, this bridge, to gain a connection with Division Chief Bi.
Li Xiaonan, you are good at acting,
but you are even better at making up stories.
Division Chief Bi, a minor shareholder at Fushou Hall,
can't compare to Supervisor Li, this major shareholder.
But last month, Division Chief Bi told Chen Shen to buy a shipment of opium
from Hongji Hall of Pier 16 with seven times the cost.
Then, he sold them to Fushou Hall.
I think he must have earned a lot of money.
But Hongji Hall isn't so easy to fool.
Why did he use seven times the cost
to sell opium to Division Chief Bi?
Of course it's because I gave him sufficient benefits.
Division Chief Bi is smart. In order to thank me,
he revealed to me that the nationalists betrayed us.
Otherwise, I would have been captured
since the operation at Red Mill.
Li Xiaonan, your story is getting more absurd.
It's the truth.
Chen Shen
is a crafty man with no ambitions.
Maybe he knew what I was doing,
but he knew that Bi Zhongliang knew everything,
so he had to pretend like he knew nothing.
Moreover, he used me as a guise
so that he can continue flirting with Xu Bicheng, even with Tang Shanhai around.
Division Chief Bi is a smart man,
but he had Supervisor Li suppressing him.
Plus,
Su Sanxing was in the limelight.
Sometimes, even he felt frustrated at his own incompetency.
What should he do? Earn some money, of course.
He could set up a secret relationship
with the communists or nationalists to leave an escape route for himself.
Li Xiaonan, your story is becoming more absurd!
Now,
let's talk about Su Sanxing.
He was stubbornly courting me.
Asking him to help me with errands was extremely easy.
Li Xiaonan, I'm telling you,
I arrested Du Huanle.
He's the one who betrayed you.
If somebody hadn't taken secretly obstructed me, I would have been the one to arrest you.
That's right.
The only thing that surprised me
is that since you couldn't win over my heart, your love became hate.
You were so cruel to come arrest me
to hand over to the Japanese.
Luckily, you didn't arrive first.
Otherwise...
Otherwise what?
You would have shot me dead at the first opportunity.
Then, I would have no chances
to tell them what you've done for me.
Lies!
Good. Miss Li, I greatly admire you.
Your skills are comparable to that of our Yoshiko Kawashima.
Chen Shen understands very well
that Li Xiaonan is currently
misleading the audience so that they will lighten their suspicion of him,
but Chen Shen knows that
she has already stepped onto the one-way road of self sacrifice.
What kind of courage must it take?
Nobody here
will want to spare her life.
She is just like Shen Qiuxia.
She's using her own sacrifice to protect his cover,
so that he can continue carrying on her faith
and uncompleted mission.
I forgot to tell you; I made all these sushi myself.
Nobody else here has tasted them before.
Let me tell you;
if you help me find Sparrow,
you don't need to bear your past crimes. Also, you can receive
the highest honor.
If you try to trick me,
then I will let you know that there exists a place in this world
that is darker than hell.
Think about it carefully.

After you all heard Li Xiaonan's testimony,
you all probably have some words to tell me, right?
Director Su, do you have anything to say?
It's better to let Division Chief Bi talk first.
Fine then. We will let you all say it one by one.
- Division Chief Bi. - Yes.
You go first.
For Li Xiaonan to be able to move around under our watchful eyes for so long without us noticing her,
is enough to show how outstandingly scheming this woman is.
That's why no matter what she says or does today,
I will not be surprised.
Old Bi is right. Ever since she started to get near us,
she already made adequate preparations on what to do if she gets exposed.
She will do everything to gather information that can be used to blackmail us,
leave fabricated evidences,
so that she can have a retreat path when the time comes.
Even if she is unable to survive, she'll be able to pull some to die with her
and bring a huge blow to the Special Operations Division.
Right.
All of these are a trap she designed.
A set up to trap all of us.
It's so rare that you all are in agreement.
Then tell me, should I believe her
or believe you?
I am willing to fully cooperate with General Kagesa's investigation
to prove my innocence.
- Supervisor Li. - Here.
I am ordering you to investigate this case.
Yes.
I don't want to falsely accuse a meritorious officer,
but I also won't let a termite go.
I understand.
Everyone, sorry.
You all must stay here for tonight and undergo investigation.
Yes.
Boss, just tell me what you need for the next few days. I'll buy them for you.
It would be fine.
So what if you can't get out? You basically live here anyway, no difference.
Close the door.
Boss, what is it that you want to tell me?
I surely will help you.
If you might lose your life, will you still be willing to help me?
What is it?
Go to Xu Bicheng in my behalf.
Xu...
You were the one who hid Xu Bicheng?
Only today did I know that Li Xiaonan was actually Doctor.
Since I already know, I can't just sit and do nothing.
That's why, I must save her.
It is also saving myself. You are the only person left that can help me right now.
General Kagesa is brilliant. There were indeed some truths in Li Xiaonan's testimony.
Could it be that Sparrow is either Bi Zhongliang, Chen Shen,
or Su Sanxing?
The words said by this woman is just half true, half false.
I think she's trying to confuse us so she can cover up for that real spy.
That's why, we temporarily can't make any conclusions.
You mean to just observe for now?
The real Sparrow will surely won't just sit and wait to die.
Even if he is currently locked inside the Special Operations Division,
he will instruct other people to find a chance to make a move.
That's why, for the next few days, you must closely monitor those people who has any interactions
with Bi Zhongliang, Chen Shen, and Su Sanxing. Follow the vines to get to the melon.
I understand.
Whoever makes a move first, is most likely Sparrow.
[Division Chief Office]
Division Chief, I already investigated at Tongren Hospital. On the day that Li Xiaonan was hospitalized, she had contact with a
nurse named Zhu Haiyan. She has already left.
What's going on? When did she leave?
Based on what doctor said, before we arrived, she received a call and left.
How about her house? Have you gone there to look?
We did. We came late. When we arrived,
the landlord said that she just moved out and went back to her province.
Looks like this Li Xiaonan indeed has an accomplice.
It must be her accomplice who called the nurse.
- Sorry. - Hey,
mister...your fish fell.
Thank you.
Only today did I know that Li Xiaonan actually was Doctor.
Since I already know, I can't just sit and watch.
That's why, I must save her.
It is also saving myself.
Right now, only you can help me.
You're back.
The child can move now and he even gave me a kick.
Good.
What are you thinking?
Where is the fish I told you to buy?
Isn't it inside?
Where?
I clearly bought it!
Hey...why do you seemed preoccupied?
Ms. Li is in big trouble.
Xiaonan actually is an underground communist rebel?
Then Team Leader Chen also saved Xu Bicheng...
and also plan to save Xiaonan...could Team Leader Chen also...
be an underground communist rebel?
I don't know. I didn't dare to ask.
My brain is currently in a daze.
Tell me. How come all these people are this formidable?
So many identities, just changing so suddenly.
I am so fortunate to still be alive after being in the Division for so long.
Then did you agree to help Team Leader Chen already?
No. How can I dare to?
I tremble when I lie. When I tremble, I stutter.
Everyone is so smart. I surely will get found out.
Moreover, if something bad happens to me, what about you and our child?
Bian Tou, shouldn't we know to repay other people's kindness?
Yes, we should.
But I am worried about you two.
Listen to me.
Think about it. If not because he has no other choice,
will Team Leader Chen ask help from you?
If you don't help him now, when do you plan to help him then?
Moreover, if Team Leader Chen dies,
who will take care of you in the future? Can your conscience take it?
That is indeed right, but I might lose my life.
Never thought that Xiaonan is actually a communist rebel.
She actually did something that I have always wanted to do.
What are you saying? Don't you know what your husband's work is?
Still wanting to be a communist...what else do you want to do?
I have wanted to tell you about it long ago.
Why not just look for another job?
Others call you a traitor. Aren't you ashamed?
Not pleasing to the ears? Now you think it's not pleasing? What about the past?
Okay. Okay. I know that you are just trying to earn a living. You don't really like to be a traitor.
But think about it. Sometimes, you are forced to kill your own countrymen for the Japanese.
That's creating sins.
Bian Tou, let's go help Xiaonan.
After all, we are good sisters and Team Leader Chen was good to you.
Not only this. Even if it's just to accumulate good karma for your child, you should go help him.
Let's then help him.
If it is inconvenient for you to do it, you still have me. Xiaonan knows how to act.
Don't forget, I too know how.
Son, I am doing this for you. When you come out, make sure not to be a traitor.
- Stupid. - Is he still kicking? Come, let me hear it.
Supervisor, that is what happened.
I indeed bought a batch of opium at a very low price from Hongji Hall Pharmacy,
but I don't know anything about Li Xiaonan manipulating the prices.
I am also willing to submit everything that I earned from it.
May Supervisor Li punish me.
Let's not talk about money first. Li Xiaonan said
that the failed arrest operation in Red Mill was because you leaked it.
That the liaison in Red Mill was a communist.
I only knew about it today.
And also, that time, I had the same stand as you, Supervisor.
We all hoped to help Tang Shanhai to make up for his crimes with a meritorious deed.
Why then will I hit my own foot with a stone?
You are indeed Division Chief Bi.
Your words earlier are all reasonable. No holes at all.
I am only being honest.
- Sit down. - Yes.
Zhongliang,
tell me. Are Chen Shen and Su Sanxing
questionable?
Both are doubtful.
Reasons?
After all, both of them have unclear romantic relationships with Li Xiaonan.
You're right.
I am willing to cooperate in any investigation.
But I also have one thing to ask.
Say it.
Later, my wife Lanzhi will come bring me some clothes.
Can you not tell her
that I am being detained for investigation? I fear that she...
Any man that cares for his wife is a good man.
As a man, one must be like that.
No problem. I won't say it.
I'll go first.
What is so urgent? Even asking me to bring you some change of clothes.
Don't you know to go home and get some by yourself?
Isn't it because I suddenly need to go to Nanjing for some business trip.
I still am finishing a lot of documents, so I had to trouble you.
- How come you still have-- - Hello, Mrs. Bi.
Supervisor Li, so sorry. I didn't notice you.
I should be the one to apologize.
I was discussing some things with Zhongliang that caused him to be unable to go home.
It's fine. You two are talking about serious matters.
I'll then go home first, Zhongliang.
When will you be back?
I still don't know. Once I have any news, I will immediately call you.
- I'll wait for your call at home then. - Okay. Go now.
- That...Supervisor Li, I'll take my leave then. - Okay...
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Thank you very much.
- Going home now. - Okay.
Bian Tou, off from work and going home already?
Going home to be with my wife now.
Are you bullying me for not having a wife?
I am indeed bullying you. Who told you not to have a wife?
- Goodbye. - Take care.
[Team 3 Leader Office]
Director, you have been interviewed already. Why don't you go home and sleep for awhile?
I am here anyway. You can be at ease.
Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
Director, let's not make jokes like this. This... no...
Was it you?
Huh? What 'is it me'? I am not...
Was it you who sold the information to Bi Zhongliang?
No...it wasn't me, Director.
Then, how did they catch Doctor before me and even ambush me?
I also don't know, Director. You must not falsely accuse me.
Do you still remember how Zeng Shu died?
I know...
Qiang, you better remember that well. Anyone who betrays me will not end up well.
I know. I know, Director.
Go home now.
Where are you?!
You're home.
- Doing chores again? - It's fine. That won't tire me out.
Come... Sit...
Did you already tell Team Leader Chen?
Sit down first. Shouldn't you rest?
Hurry and tell me.
I already did. What you need to help me do tomorrow is find Xu Bicheng.
Ms. Xu?
What if Ms. Xu doesn't believe me?
You two have met before.
Give this to her tomorrow and she'll believe you.
Okay.
Drink some water.
Hey, fresh fishes! Come take a look!
Fresh fishes! Very good!
There is someone in front.
Don't look!
Once that person leaves with me, you then go out. Do you remember everything that I told you?
Don't worry. I'm very good in memorizing lines.
Baby, I'm going! Be good!
I'm going, honey.
Ride slowly!
- Ms. Xu, eat some stuffed buns. - Thank you.
Ms. Xu, that Ms. Li hasn't visited for several days.
She might be busy with work.
Last time, she told me she can help me get cheaper sugar.
Don't know if she was able to get it for me or not.
Hello. Yes. Yes.
Oh, okay.
Ms. Xu, telephone.
It seems to be that Ms. Li.
Help me ask her about the sugar.
- Hello. - Hello, is this Ms. Xu?
Who are you?
My name is Zhu Zhu. I am a colleague of Xiaonan in the movie company. I am also Bian Tou's wife.
We met before. Don't know if you remember me.
I remember you. How did you know that I live here?
It's like this.
Right now, Team Leader Chen and Li Xiaonan are in a bit of trouble. It also isn't convenient for Cian Tou to come out.
What has happened?
For the details, it is better for us to meet first before saying them.
Team Leader Chen said that for your safety, I better not go to where you are staying to look for you.
He even gave me a harp and said that it was given by you.
He has a very important matter that he wanted me to tell you. Please believe me.
I believe you.
You are saying that Xiaonan is a communist and Chen Shen personally arrested her?
Right now, the Japanese have detained Team Leader Chen, Su Sanxing,
and Division Chief Bi in the division and aren't allowed to go anywhere.
I fear that Li Xiaonan might not be able to bear the torture.
Then won't Chen Shen be in big trouble?
Team Leader Chen said that to save Xiaonan, we must look for you.
What does he want me to do?
A few years ago, I rented a safe in Bank of Communications. Put this key
in Li Xiaonan's house. Let the Japanese find it.
Okay.
For the other key and this magazine,
give it to Xu Bicheng and let her place it in Su Sanxing's house.
Okay.
- Just these? - Right, just these.
Bian Tou said that as long as you can do this task,
he then can have a way to save Xiaonan.
- Okay. - Here. This is Su Sanxing's current address.
I'll do it today. Call me later in the afternoon and wait for my news.
Ms. Xu, I heard that the Japanese is currently watching them very keenly.
There might be agents monitoring Su Sanxing right now.
You must be careful.
Okay.
Li Xiaonan is actually a communist?
Xu Bicheng suddenly understood everything.
That's why she previously failed in kidnapping Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan has always been guarding by Chen Shen's side.
As if just accidentally giving him a lot of help.
They were all actually meticulously planned by her
to protect him without leaving any trace.
Those careless smiles of hers
are actually hiding the sorrow of knowing everything, and a bottomless secret.
At this time, there is only one thought that's in Xu Bicheng's mind. She must save her.
She and Chen Shen already lost Tang Shanhai. They cannot lose Li Xiaonan too.
She has already become a comrade and family.
[Comrade Sparrow, you must destroy Bi Zhongliang's power from within and find the 'Return to Zero' plan as soon as possible. From, Doctor.]
Why are you looking for me in a rush?
I already know the whereabouts of Su Sanxing's sister.
As long as we can control her, we can then lure Su Sanxing to come out.
- Where is she? - Find me a place
and leave me this task of bringing his sister there.
Will she believe you?
I think she will.
Okay. I'll arrange it for you.
Thank you.
Sanxing!
He didn't come home all night and didn't inform me about it. Seriously...
Little sister, who are you looking for?
- Auntie, is your surname Su? - Yes.
There is a sister who told me to tell you that Su Sanxing is in danger.
That guy in front of your house has been monitoring you the whole night already.
The sister is asking you to immediately go to Celebrity Movie Company to find her.
Celebrity Movie Company. Could it be Xiaonan?
Su Sanxing, are you alright? Don't scare me.
Oh, my, stupid cat. That scared me.
