Sparrow
This is the person we have to rescue.
Supervisor, how do you think we should handle Prime Minister?
Interrogate her if you can. If you can't,
- just take her to Nanjing.- What do you think about letting Tang Shanhai escort Prime Minister to Nanjing?
But Prime Minister isn't a nationalist.
I just received a task to go to Nanjing to join an employee preparedness training class. I'm to go with you.
If possible, I hope she can stay safe.
Completing the organization's task is most important. I don't need you to save me.
- Episode 6 -
Miss, sit tight.
Although the plan has changed, I'm confident I can save you. Trust me.
It's not that I don't trust you.
If Bi Zhongliang doesn't trust you, you have no chance of success.
That Mrs. Tang brought her luggage on here in a rush.
It's obvious she received the task this morning. Same with her husband.
If you had time to schedule a rescue mission,
it means you knew that I'd be transported today.
Bi Zhongliang purposefully leaked this news to you.
That's why I have no way to retreat. I must save you.
Even if I stay behind, he won't trust me again.
I must leave with you and Pi Pi.
I believe you also saw those people as we were getting onto the train.
Their index fingers and hands are all callused.
They use guns very often.
I think you know better who those people are than I do.
- I have a solution.- You do not.
Bi Zhongliang sent those people here as an execution order.
The slightest mistake will result in our deaths.
Your older brother sacrificed himself to protect me.
At the time, I wanted to follow him to death,
but I know that the best way to repay him
is to continue living.
I hope you will think the same way.
If you sacrifice your innocent friends in order to save me,
you'll also delay the finding of the Japanese intelligence. It's not worth it.
He has to admit that Bi Zhongliang's scheme is foolproof.
Even if Li Moqun were to make unanticipated adjustments,
Bi Zhongliang still would have a way to control the situation.
Everyone knows that Chen Shen is Bi Zhongliang's most trusted subordinate.
Once Chen Shen's identity as a communist spy is uncovered,
Bi Zhongliang will lose all his dignity.
He will surely get rid of Chen Shen en route.
Then he'll announce to the public that Chen Shen sacrificed himself for the mission
to avoid damaging his position and influence in the Special Operations Division.
Chen Shen, give up.
I won't allow anyone to die.
I've read your files before. You married on February 25th of 1939.
In just the three months after leaving Batch 16 of the Whampoa Military Academy,
you married someone else.
Our mission this time is very dangerous.
Since we claim that we are a married couple, we cannot show any inconsistencies.
Bi Zhongliang can surely find out Chen Shen was once your teacher.
You watch the prisoner. I'll go to the bathroom.
- Four Q's!- Go, go. Drink up!- Five, five.
They're all bomb cards!
Here, here. Two J's.
Boss.
I can greet you guys, but bullets won't.
It's okay. Even Division Chief said that you're
a lucky soldier. You have a blessed and safe life.
That's right.
Immediately confirm the identities of everyone on this section of the train.
- Also, tell the conductor that if the train makes another stop, nobody is allowed to enter this section.- Okay.
- Ah Da, Ah Qing.- Here.
You each guard one end of the section. Random people are not allowed inside.
Yes, sir.
Hurry.
You're not like a special agent.
You are really dissimilar to those others.
You are not like a communist, either.
Then, what am I like?
I should say, you shouldn't suffer like this.
I can tell you are a graceful wife.
I could only wish.
But my husband sacrificed himself.
Your husband is also a communist?
I'm sorry.
We shouldn't be having this conversation.
It's okay.
I am destined to die soon, anyway. Moreover, I have no ulterior motive
to ask you to release me.
Actually, whenever I remember that I will soon reunite with my husband,
I am more relaxed than ever.
I still remember
the look in his eyes when he said his last farewell to me.
Men's mouths can lie, but their eyes can't.
The way that sir from earlier looked at you,
is the same way my husband once looked at me.
You're not allowed onto this section. Leave.
- You can't go.- Why not?
- Hurry and leave.- What's going on?
You're not allowed on this section of the train. Don't you understand?
Hurry, hurry.
Hurry.
Done. Prepare to cut the rope.
Sister Wang, hold onto that end.
I have two over here.
Let's go to Wuxi Railway Station
and meet up with Chen Shen.
Come to my office.
Division Chief.
- Did you move my keys?- Yes.
Team Leader Chen called and said that Miss Li needed to go to his office to retrieve a briefcase, so I opened the door for her.
Miss Li took a briefcase?
Yes. I originally wanted to return the key sooner, but I was delayed by a phone call.
I only had time now to come.
When did she leave?
Maybe ten minutes ago.
- Where's Erbao?- I think Erbao also went out.
When did he leave?
Around the same time as Miss Li.
- Tell Ah Rong to come here.- Yes, sir.
I'll go get some water.
Teacher,
can you wait for me to return?
What a good girl.
What do you mean?
Sister-in-Law, what are you thinking about at a time like this?
I'm not thinking anything.
I just want you to continue living and fighting
with your brother's and my ideals.
I will fulfill your wish.
Bian Tou!
You watch the prisoner. I'm going out to get some air.
Get air?
More like you want to go fly a kite.
What do you mean?
I just saw a kite walking over, with a cup in her hand.
If you continue talking nonsense, I'll throw you off the train. You'll turn into a kite with a broken string.
Don't. After so many years, I understand you. You don't mean it.
Watch her.
You still like dazing off.
Thank you.
Even if you have nothing to tell me,
can you listen to me?
Operations Division isn't a place for you.
After this training class, hurry and leave with your husband. Go live a normal life.
Are you done speaking?
I've often wondered,
when I can give you another haircut?
No matter what happened in the past,
I have no intention to ask about them.
I just want you to live well.

Boss Sheng,
have you finished tailoring that cheongsam?
Oh, it's Miss Li. It's done. Please wait. I'll go get it for you now.
Okay. I'll wait for you in the dressing room.
Okay.
Miss Li.
Sir, are you wanting to purchase clothes?
No. Is Miss Li here?
Miss Li is in the dressing room.
Miss Li.
Huh? Why is she gone?
She just told me to wait for her here.
- Does your store have a back door?- Huh?
Hello?
What? The patrolmen reported that the railway collapsed?
You can't go inside.
Enough, enough. Back up.
We already bought tickets. Let us inside.
I heard that a huge boulder fell at Yangsiling.
It destroyed the railway. I'm afraid the train isn't coming.
Back up, back up!
Young man, my wife is coming from Shanghai with a lot of luggage.
I need to go inside.
Don't move. Didn't you hear the railway collapsed? Plus, it's posted that
nobody can go inside right now.
Leave, leave. Back up.
- Hurry and leave.- Give us an explanation!
Pi Dan, what do we do?
Pi Dan, I know. This way.
Come with me.
We're almost at Wuxi Railway Station.
Nobody is allowed to leave.
We just got a report that the railway ahead collapsed. Stop the train here and wait for repair.
Yes, sir.
The train has arrived. Why is Brother Shen not here?
That's right. I don't see him. It's been so long.
We should go to that side to search for them. Go.
They're wanting to rescue the prisoner. Let's take action!
Go!
I finished asking.
Five kilometers ahead of the train station, there was a landslide at Yangsiling. It broke the railway.
Do you know when we can leave?
I don't know.
- I'll go ask.- No need.
Let's wait for Team Leader Chen to return. We should just guard the prisoner.
Hey, what are you looking at? Nobody will come rescue you.
Even if they come, they're walking into their deaths.
Let her see the sky a few more times. She doesn't have many chances left.
Mrs. Tang, your words are so sophisticated.
Mrs. Tang, I have a question for you. What flowers do you like?
I don't like flowers. I like leaves.
Leaves?
Ginkgo leaves. Golden ginkgo leaves.
Do women not like dogs or flowers?
Instead, they like leaves?
What did you say?
I'm sorry. This section has been requisitioned. You can't go inside.
- Brother, we're from the same side.- What are you talking about? Get lost.
- We were ordered to take over the prisoner.-You can't. Get lost.
Take action!
Boss! Where is he?
- Chen Shen!- Where's Boss?
Chen Shen!
Communists! They must be communists!
- Bian Tou, come here. Hurry and open the window.- Okay.
Let's go.
Done.
I'm sorry. The railway ahead collapsed. You cannot enter.
Let's go.
This is the person we have to rescue.
These two are in charge of escorting the prisoner.
It's them.
Be careful.
But Brother Shen isn't here yet.
I'm so anxious.
Why is there another gang of people?
If we keep waiting, it'll be too late. Hurry!
Move aside.
It's them. There are only three of them.
Let's not wait for Chen Shen. We'll take action first.
Mrs. Tang, there are communists. Don't be afraid. Go find our boss.
I'll stay in the back and block them.
He has a gun. If we want to rescue her, we have to take extreme measures.
Hurry and go.
Why'd you run into me?
Pause the operation. Wait for me in Shanghai.
There must have been changes. Let's leave.
Let's go. Hurry.
It's me.
Come with me.
Who is it? Who are you?
I am Chen Shen from the Shanghai Special Operations Division.
I have a secret mission to execute. I need to borrow your phone.
[Chen Shen]
Division Chief.
Immediately send people to find Liu Erbao.
Tell him to be cautious of the escape routes. Guard the roads and the pier.
Okay, I understand.
- It's me.- Shouldn't you be on the train right now?
The railway ahead of Wuxi collapsed. The train stopped.
I'm afraid we can't leave tonight.
Just stay there and don't leave. I'll immediately contact the team in Wuxi
to pick you up at the railway station with a car. Continue the rest of the escort via the road.
Okay, I'll wait.
Is that woman okay?
She's fine.
Why didn't you tell me beforehand about the reinforcements you sent?
Remember, safety first.
I got it.
Secretary Qian!
Hit him!
We are from the same side. We are from Songjiang Sub-Station.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
I'm sorry.
- Immediately gather Operations Team 2 to go with me to Wuxi.- Yes, sir.
Wait. Tell Nanjing and all teams in Wuxi
to create a blockade on all roads connecting Wuxi to Nanjing. If there are any suspicious cars, immediately search them.
Yes, sir.
Contact the Operations Team in Wuxi for me.
I'm so angry.
Turns out, they're from Songjiang Sub-Station. What is Division Chief up to? He didn't even tell us beforehand.
Luckily, they're not communists; otherwise, we might be dead by now.
Old Bi will instruct the Wuxi Operations Team to pick us up.
Bian Tou, you take them to wait outside at the gate.
Let's go.

Team Leader Chen, I am Liu Jun from the Wuxi Operations Team. I got orders from Chief Bi to dispatch you.
- Continue escorting the prisoner to Nanjing.- Yes, sir.
Get in the car.
Bi Zhongliang assigned two operations teams
to overtly and covertly watch his every move.
Old Wang and the others have already left the railway station. If he wants to rescue Shen Qiuxia now,
he can only rely on himself.
The only possibility is to find a chance on the road to Nanjing.
Chen Shen has already made his decision: Whether or not this rescue succeeds,
he must give it his all.
- What are you doing?- Move aside.
Division Chief Bi, we are from the Songjiang Operations Team. Team Leader Chen has already set off.
Immediately send a car to closely follow Chen Shen's car.
If his car goes off the route, block him right away.
- If there are any signs of the prisoner trying to escape, kill.- Yes, sir.
Come down.
What are you doing? What do you want?
We're confiscating your car. Get out.
Division Chief, Operations Team 2 has been gathered together.
- Let's go.- Yes, sir.
Not long after starting on his way, Chen Shen realized another truck was tailing him.
He understands that Bi Zhongliang has never sincerely trusted him.
If he takes any unusual actions, he won't be able to rescue Prime Minister.
He also might be executed by these soldiers.
At this moment, though, Chen Shen felt no fear.
He already had decided to do his best to shake them off.
Who are the people in that truck?
Chen Shen, what are you wanting to do?
They're enemies. We must shake them off.
Bian Tou, are we driving in the wrong direction?
- Bian Tou.- How would I know?
Keep quiet.
Them again! What are those people after?
They're trying to take over our job!
Take over our job?
- Continue chasing us! - Come on!
- What are they doing?- Block them! Don't let them pass us!
Continue chasing us.
Won't you stop?
Sit tight.
- Continue chasing us. - Why did you stop chasing?
Game over now, huh?
Bian Tou and the others haven't caught up?
Liu Jun, what's going on?
Let's go down and take a look.
- What's wrong? - There's a problem with the truck.
There's a problem?
Chen Shen, should we wait for Bian Tou to catch up?
Bicheng, can you help me ask that man a question?
I don't know which intersection up ahead leads to Nanjing.
Okay.
Chen Shen, don't do anything foolish.
Sir, which is the way to Nanjing?
Chen Shen!
Chen Shen! She has a gun!
Chen Shen!
Chen Shen, she has a gun!
Hurry and stop the car!
Chen Shen, do you know what you are doing?
You're just afraid I'd hurt innocent people.
Now, I can rescue you without sacrificing any lives.
Did you forget everything I told you?
It's too late now.
Why don't you understand?
You can only continue hiding here if I die.
That's how you'll have more chances to obtain that top secret Japanese plan.
My most important wish right now
is to see my family continue living.
It was so difficult for you to plant yourself here, but you're giving up before finding the Japanese intelligence, just like an army deserter.
Chen Shen, I have to tell you, there has never been a deserter in the Chen family before.
You don't need to try and provoke me.
The steering wheel is currently in my hands. I get to make the decisions.
It's fixed. Hurry!
Let's go!
Hurry!
Isn't that Mrs. Tang?
Mrs. Tang!
Mrs. Tang, why are you here?
Where's our boss?
What happened?
I don't know.
Get in the truck first. Hurry.
Team Leader Lou, thank you.
Division Chief Bi, don't say that. We are on the same side.
It is my duty to help out the Special Operations Division.
Thank you.
Is the escort going successfully?
We sent two trucks and ten men. I especially reminded them
- to call me once they reach Nanjing.- Good.
Team Leader Lou, there's a call for Division Chief Bi.
This way, please.
Chen Shen,
by doing this, you are letting down your older brother and me.
Currently, I can let down anybody, but I cannot let down Pi Pi.
When was the last time you saw your son? Do you know how he's been living?
Pi Pi can take care of himself. I know that.
He's timid, weak, and often bullied. He can't take good care of himself.
Dou Dou, you're bullying Pi Pi again.
I like this, so I will surely take it from him.
One day, you'll understand that nobody can predict their life.
Nobody can block the winds and storms for them.
You and Pi Pi both need to walk onward alone.
Yes. Mrs. Tang said that Boss told her to ask for directions, but before she returned to the car, he drove off.
Also, Mrs. Tang lost her gun. Maybe Prime Minister stole it.
Immediately search in Nanjing's direction. We must find the whereabouts of Chen Shen and Prime Minister.
If they purposefully left Xi Bicheng behind, then he's a communist.
- Go on.- Okay.
What did Division Chief say?
He said if Boss purposefully left you behind,
it means he's a communist.
Team Leader Lou, what is the license plate of the small car you dispatched?
6258.
Leader Lou, please instruct all operations teams to block all main roads within the Wuxi range to stop this car.
Someone is wanting to rescue the prisoner?
If the car doesn't stop and insists on barreling through, execute them.
Yes, sir.
If he wants to escape, this pier is the only exit.
- You two, split up and search.- Yes, sir.
You two, come with me.
Stop the car.
- Where is your police certificate? - Here.
Hand over all your police certificates.
Do you see that?
Bi Zhongliang calculated all your routes of retreat. The hailstorm of bullets is everywhere.
If I don't try, how do I know I can't survive?
Then, let me ask you: If we make it across, what do you plan to do?
Return to Shanghai. I already bought boat tickets to Hong Kong for tonight.
You, Pi Pi, and I will leave together.
Where are the tickets?
Somebody will deliver them to the pier tonight.
What if that person can't come?
Sister-in-Law, what are you doing?
Promise me one thing:
Treat Pi Pi as your biological son.
Teach him to become a courageous and responsible child.
Pi Pi is your son. Why don't you teach him yourself?
One day, you'll understand that
our country is currently like Pi Pi. She has gone mute.
She has suffered enough hardship and torment. She is being bullied everywhere.
But with soldiers like us, who are willing to devote our lives to achieve freedom,
our country will grow strong one day.
I have no more opportunities to teach Pi Pi.
