Sparrow
I heard that all significant members of the Reorganized Goverment
have made it to Hurricane Squad's blacklist.
My mission from the organization leaders
is to provide you with these traitors' movements to the best of my ability so that you can organize assassination plans.
Would mere troublemakers have guns?
Would mere troublemakers randomly shoot at you?
Only people inside Operations Division would know you're going to the orphanage today.
You think there's a mole?
Are you hiding something from me?
It's best if you don't know everything.
Sure. Tonight at 6 PM,
I'll wait for you at Red Lantern Hunan Restaurant.
- The target has appeared. Everyone, prepare for operation.- Yes, sir.
- Episode 9 -
Let's stop here.
I want to eat Hunan cuisine.
But I already reserved spots for Red Mill.
You must order two dishes.
Just pretend like those two you ordered were mine.
Fine.
I'll have a serving of each type of fish.
I'll waste all your money.
Okay. Please wait.
Bicheng,
look. There are no more seats.
Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang,
what a coincidence. You two are also here to eat?
Yes. Sadly, the restaurant's full.
Sit together with us! We have a big table.
Huh?
Come on!
We're already here. It's not good to leave.
Actually,
today is our wedding anniversary.
Really? That's so great!
Chen Shen and I can help you two celebrate it.
Mrs. Tang, do you like fish?
Yes.
I just happened to order a table-full of fish!
I don't think this is suitable.
Why isn't it suitable?
Chen Shen and I were worried we couldn't finish all the food.
We originally planned to eat Western cuisine.
Halfway there, she changed to Hunan cuisine.
I really don't understand her thoughts.
Men will never be able to understand a woman's heart.
I envy you two so much. You've been married for two years already.
Chen Shen and I haven't even known each other for one years.
I met you on July 5th.
We've known each other less than seven months.
Moreover, are we even dating?
We are! Of course!
You remember so clearly how long we've been together.
Mrs. Tang, do you think he remembers so clearly because he cares about me too much?
That day just happened to be the Ghost Festival.
Outside the Celebrity Movie Company, I met you, this female ghost.
Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.
Have you seen such a pretty ghost before?
- Isn't there one right here?- Have you?
Mrs. Tang,
what did Mr. Tang give you for your wedding anniversary?
Flowers.
Flowers? He delivered them to the Operations Division, right?
Yes.
I'm so envious of you.
Mr. Tang is so romantic.
He's so unlike Chen Shen.
All he knows is how to cut hair.
If he only cuts my hair,
I'd be touched,
but it seems like
he's somehow connected to every woman in this world's hair.
I'm going to the restroom.
You weren't hurt yesterday, right?
I'm the lucky soldier from Operations Division.
You were ambushed yesterday, yet you still dare to come outside today.
You're quite gutsy.
Roses are rather pretty.
But they're not the most beautiful gift I've ever received.
Thank you, teacher.
This is the most beautiful gift I've ever received.
Can I sit next to you?
Yes.
I want to say, you'll always be my teacher. You'll always be--
The dishes are here. Be careful.
Wait!
I don't think this fish is fully cooked.
My wife has a bad stomach. She can't eat things that aren't fully cooked.
- Take it back to the kitchen to remake. - Okay, sir.
Wait.
Hey!
Be careful.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's fine.
- What happened?- Team Leader Chen, were you calling for that man?
It's nothing. I just wanted
to bring another bowl of Heaven Chile for me.
It's fine. I can just ask him when he comes back.
Don't you plan to give me a plausible explanation?
I'm afraid you wouldn't listen, no matter how I explain myself.
What about yesterday?
Chen Shen was ambushed on his way back from the orphanage.
You don't know about that, either?
Since we are work partners,
why don't you tell me your plans?
Even if you are just obeying orders,
haven't you considered the outcome of
if I came back with Chen Shen from the orphanage yesterday?
What if I was accidentally killed?
That's a little unreasonable.
Tao Dachun knows you. How could he accidentally kill you?
Which means the zongzi from yesterday were from Tao Dachun?
I should have guessed it earlier.
Only zongzi from Tao Dachun's family
have that special cumin flavor.
I'll admit I organized yesterday's attack,
but I already told him to pause the assassination
in order to avoid Bi Zhongliang suspecting me.
If you hadn't wanted to go to that Hunan restaurant, I wouldn't have known he'd make another move there today.
Why are you unwilling to let go of Chen Shen?
I was ordered to gather the names of the Chinese traitors in Shanghai.
Among all of these wicked people,
why must you kill Chen Shen first?
Your uncontrollable emotions will become our weakness. Did you know that?
This is your only reason for wanting to murder him?
Comrade Tang Shanhai,
stop trying to find excuses for your jealousy.
You're getting too into the role.
We are only pretending to be a couple for work.
Who I like
is none of your business.
Please do not avenge a personal wrong in the name of public interests.
How am I avenging a personal wrong in the name of public interests?
There are so many traitors on the blacklist.
They are all targets.
Tao Dachun is also behind Bi Zhongliang's ambush yesterday.
How am I solely targeting Chen Shen?
I'll admit that I'm not a qualified special agent,
but I'm an agent with a heart and feelings.
I don't believe that Chen Shen is a true traitor.
Maybe his belief isn't implanted deeply enough.
Maybe he's just wanting to earn money by working under Bi Zhongliang.
He must have his own hardships.
We could even
instigate him to start a rebelling among our enemies.
Are you crazy?
I only wrote Chen Shen on that blacklist because I was afraid you'd think this way.
Instigate him to rebel?
Why is he worth to be instigated to rebel?
If he can earn such a high position in Operations Division,
he's not an idiot, scraping to get by.
And you are trying to instigate him to rebel.
If you expose your own identity, you are just digging your own grave.
Why can't we instigate Chen Shen to rebel?
If we can get him,
It's going to be a big help for our work.
There are a lot of past examples of the success of instigating for rebellion.
You cannot seclude yourself because you are afraid of the risks.
Anyway, I do not agree you putting Chen Shen's name on the list.
And please notify Tao Dachun to terminate the assassination of Chen Shen.
Otherwise,
I will refuse to be your partner.
I will notify the superior tomorrow
about your list
and your disciplinary violation of not following the order.

She is an innocent girl.
I could see
that you are purposefully hurting her.
What a good girl.
I want you
to continue living and fighting
with your brother's and my ideals.
I want to say, you'll forever be my teacher.
- You'll forever be--- The dishes are here. Careful.
[Classified Archives Room]
The files that you wanted are all here.
You can look at them here. I'm going downstairs.
Is that a good idea?
There's a rule in the Division that when people are looking through the files, you must be present.
I'm only going downstairs to the front door.
In Operations Division, other than Old Bi,
you have the most power. Old Bi isn't here today.
Don't betray me, okay?
That's not for sure.
If you don't bribe me, I might really sell you out.
Team Leader Chen, so annoying.
Okay, I'll be right back.
- I'm sorry.- Sorry about that.
Hello?
Oh, okay. At the front door? I'm coming now.
- I'll be right back.- Okay.
Meina! What delicious food did you get from your hometown?
You brought it inside for me?
At the end of the day, Bian Tou, you're still the most caring.
How's the injury on your hand?
It's healed now. I need to pretend like it's severe.
This way, Boss will think I'm working hard.
Your boss is very cunny.
He's only pretending that he doesn't know.
Bian Tou, help me bring this to my office. I'm going to the restroom.
Okay. I'll put it by your door.
Your boss is inside. Just go directly inside.
Okay.
Boss!
Are you inside, boss?
Open the door, boss.
- Why are you here?- Liu Meina told me to bring something here.
Come in.
What were you doing? You took so long to open the door.
- Why? Did you wait too long? Should I apologize?- That's not it.
Boss, isn't there a reward associated with those six Nationalists we caught last time?
- Yes.- When will the leaders...
You two look so happy. What are you chatting about?
Bian Tou is thinking about what food is inside your bag.
- Yes.- Hurry and come open it!
They're native products from my hometown: pecans, red dates, and some others.
You two can get some more later.
Great!
Where's my key?
That's not right. I remember bringing it downstairs with me.
Did you leave it in the bathroom?
- Bian Tou, help her search.- No way.
Why is it here?
That's not right. I clearly remember...
Look at my brain.
[Resume]
[Tang Shanhai]
Supervisor of the Confidential Branch of the Nationalist NBIS Military Commission of Chongqing, Tang Shanhai.
Maybe he planned all of this
to pave a path for Surname Tang.
They wouldn't possibly try to kill me inside Operations Division, right?
You are right.
I need to borrow these two files.
Sure! Come fill out this register form.
Bring more.
The files over Sparrow that you wanted.
We have a deadline to capturing Sparrow.
That date is coming up soon. What will we do?
What do you mean?
This isn't something my mere Operations Division can accomplish.
If the superiors blame us, at worst, us Operations Division will get punished.
I'll go to the Cigarette Shop in a little bit.
- It's time to retrieve our money for this money again.- Okay.
Once you get the money, buy some wild ginsengfor your sister-in-law to help nourish her body.
I know.
What's wrong? You still need something?
Have there been new missions recently?
Volunteering for work isn't your style.
No, I'm trying to escape.
Escape from what?
Last night,
when I went to eat dinner with Li Xiaonan, that killer appeared again.
Was it the same person from before?
Most likely.
He didn't make a move?
At first... I think he was going to take action,
but coincidentally, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang also went to the same restaurant.
Because the restaurant was full, we sat at the same table.
Are you talking about Tang Shanhai and Xu Bicheng?
Yes.
Maybe the killer thought there were too many of us,
and was afraid he couldn't escape alive,
so he left.
Did Tang Shanhai know beforehand you were going there to eat dinner?
Of course not.
Then, do you think this is a mere coincidence?
You think Tang Shanhai is also one of them?
If what you said is true,
I think it's unlikely.
Think about it.
If Tang Shanhai knows the killer,
he wouldn't appear at that place to avoid suspicion, right?
Hurry and think of something, then!
Find a secret mission so that I can temporarily hide from other people.
There are secrets missions, but I can't have the final say.
From Bi Zhongliang's words, Chen Shen confirmed
that there is definitely a top secret plan underway.
Its confidentiality
isn't something he can reach.
Could it be the Japanese plan that Prime Minister mentioned?
Chen Shen needed to find evidence.
How about you live in the Operations Division for now?
No.
No women, and no gambling. I don't want to. I'd rather die.
Then, go die!
You said it yourself, okay? I'm going to tell Sister-in-Law.
I'll say that you want me to die. Just watch how she'll punish you!
Aiya, little rascal!
Don't say nonsense to your sister-in-law.
Do you hear me?
Team Leader Chen.
- Team Leader Tang.- You're going out?
Yes.
You spent so much money for us last night. I feel apologetic.
I shouldn't have intervened yesterday.
Moreover, yesterday was your wedding anniversary.
But Li Xiaonan ordered those dishes.
If I really ask for money from you, I'd feel guilty.
Don't be such a stranger.
Actually, I'm just trying to be friendly to you,
Team Leader Tang.
If I'm too polite, then I'd really treat you as a stranger.
Only if we each owe each other, but don't mind it,
that's when we'll know we're friends, right?
You're right.
- Treat me some other day.- Definitely.
I'm leaving.
[Fushou Shop]
This is Boss Bi's money for this month.
Okay.
Brother Shen, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Boss Hua has a worker called Wu Long. Do you know him?
- Wu Long?- Yes.
I think I have a slight impression.
He's left-handed?
Yes, that's him.
What's wrong?
One day when I was sleeping in the warehouse,
I overheard Wu Long talking to another person.
That person will ship in a batch of opium.
Wu Long plans to avoid Boss Hua and work for his own gain.
Originally, I didn't want to stop him from earning his fortune,
but I heard that this person is from the Chongqing government.
That's why I felt I should tell you.
There's an emergency mission. Six people from the Chongqing government are having a secret meeting.
Arrest them all.
Let's go!
Supervisor of the Confidential Branch of the Nationalist NBIS Military Commission of Chongqing,
Tang Shanhai. He just came from Chongqing.
It's my first time here, so it's just proper for me to bring some meeting gift.
- Did you hear clearly?- I can't be mistaken.
Go find this Wu Long,
but don't alarm anybody else.
Okay. I understand.
Brother Shen, he's here.
Thank you.
Team Leader Chen, were you looking for me?
In the past, you helped Boss Bi take care of some smuggled goods in the black market.
You did a good job with it and didn't leave any traces.
Nowadays, everyone's trying to earn some secret stashes.
Boss Bi gave me the job because he trusts me. That's why I had to do a good job.
Boss Bi is currently looking for a Nationalist who's smuggling opium. Do you know about that?
Why?
Now you even dare to steal Old Bi's goods?
No, no, Team Leader Chen. This is a misunderstanding.
I didn't know Boss Bi also wanted these goods.
Whether or not Old Bi wants these goods
is Boss Hua's business.
You are quite daring to secretly take the business for yourself.
T-Team Leader Chen, I really did not know.
Team Leader Chen, please don't tell Boss Hua. If he knows, I'll be doomed!
It depends on if you understand the rules.
Please tell me, Team Leader Chen.
Stand up first.
Team Leader Chen, you must help me.
How much do you know about that nationalist?
I only know that his name is Liu Sanmu.
He has a younger brother who's a part of the Nationalist Military Commission.
I think he's called...
Right! Liu Sanjin.
He was caught by your Operations Division recently.
I heard Liu Sanmu say that the Nationalists long knew that they've been smuggling opium,
so they've been trying to hunt them down. After finding them in Shanghai,
the Nationalists purposefully leaked the news to you so that you could capture them on their behalf.
Fortunately, Liu Sanmu heard news of it beforehand and luckily escaped.
Now, he's wanting to quickly get rid of the opium and leave Shanghai.
Chen Shen remembers the name Liu Sanjin.
He's a member of the six-member Nationalist group that he captured,
and this six-member group
just so happens to be Tang Shanhai's gift for the Reorganized Government leaders.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Shen formed a conclusion.
The Military Commission wanted to quickly take down that corrupted six-member group
and purposefully asked Tang Shanhai to betray them.
They are borrowing another force's weapons for their own gain
so that Tang Shanhai can stabilize his position in Operations Division.
Team Leader Chen,
please don't tell Boss Hua about this.
Also, please put in some good words for me to Boss Bi.
I'll heavily thank you.
When are you delivering the goods?
Tomorrow at 3 PM in the afternoon at Pier 6.
You must complete this in two minutes.
Five minutes. Two minutes for sending the blacklist,
and three minutes for reporting your unauthorized actions to the superiors.
What are you doing?
It's fine if you hold a grudge against me,
but you can't joke around with the reports.
If the Organized Government finds out, it'll affect our work and expose our identities.
I'm not joking around. When you were taking unauthorized actions, you didn't consider the exposure of our identities.
If I take two minutes longer on sending the report now,
we might not necessarily die.
Fine.
I'll apologize to you for my reckless actions from last time.
Not to me. Apologize to our party organization.
You are my party organization,
my superior,
and supervisor.
Promise
that in the future, you will inform me of any actions you late.
You must report all situations to me.
I promise.
We should also report to the superiors and request confirmation about
Chen Shen possibly being one of us and could be ligated to rebel.
Sure.
I'll listen to my party organization's demands.
We only have two minutes. Will you have enough time?
Back in Batch 16 of the Whampoa Military Academy, I was bad in every subject,
but I was first in telegraph messaging.
Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
Hello?
Remember: at 3 PM tomorrow afternoon,
a man named Liu Sanmu
will deliver that batch of opium from Chongqing at Pier 6.
Who are you?
Don't worry about that.
You only need to know that Liu Sanmu is the brother of Liu Sanjin.
Whose call is that?
You just promised to report everything to me.
We might be in trouble.
Brother Shen, I've finished making the call. I did everything according to your instructions.
What should we do now?
He's a trained man, so you surely can't keep up with him.
What should we do, then?
We'll wait and see. If you can keep up, then follow him.
Didn't you say I can't do it?
If he's purposefully trying to shake you off, stop following him.
Sure. I understand.
Chen Shen understands clearly
that if he wants to confirms Tang Shanhai's true identity,
this is a perfect chance.
If Tang Shanhai is truly converting to the Reorganized Government,
once he knows that a Nationalist had escaped,
he would consult Bi Zhongliang
and take an operations team out to capture Liu Sanmu.
If he's faking his conversion and is undercover,
he would secretly get rid of Liu Sanmu
to avoid Liu Sanmu falling into the hands of the Reorganized Government
and confessing the secret that the six-member Nationalist group is actually hunted by the Nationalists.
Then, what do you plan to do?
Let me think.
Can you tell me what you're thinking?
I just want to help you.
Maybe I can help you analyze the situation.
Okay. Then, help me analyze who that call is from.
I think
the caller is somebody trying to help us.
Otherwise, he could simply tell Bi Zhongliang.
If this is true, that'd be great.
Instead, I think Bi Zhongliang is purposefully testing us.
Think about it. If Bi Zhongliang's man purposefully leaked this intelligence to us,
and we don't report it, what does that say about us?
Shanhai,
it's been so long. He's still suspecting us?
When Chen Shen was ambushed, Mrs. Bi was also there.
This situation might have irked Bi Zhongliang.
It's all your fault for being reckless.
Bicheng,
how about you leave first?
If our identities are really exposed, I can't allow you to be in danger.
I'm not leaving.
Just as you said, if Bi Zhongliang suspects us, I can't leave.
You're right. Maybe I am overthinking it.
If Bi Zhongliang really suspects us, he can directly arrest Liu Sanmu and interrogate him.
Why make it so complicated?
According to what you said, this person is really trying to help us?
Perhaps. I will contact Tao Dachun. He will clarify this situation.
Don't worry.
Brother Shen,
should we "wait and see" by waiting until daytime?
No. We only need to wait until they leave the house.
Will they even leave the house?
How about we make a bet?
No. I lose every time. You're good at calculating.
How about
we bet on if he leaves alone,
or if he leaves together with his wife.
That's easy. He'd surely leave alone.
I'll bet they leave together.
¥100, how about it?
Deal!
I need to go somewhere right now.
I'll come with you.
No need.
Close the doors and windows and sleep early.
Think about it. If I were to go outside alone, could you sleep?
Moreover, your contact with Tao Dachun is no longer a secret to me.
Don't treat me as a stranger.
Let's go.
Brother Shen, what should we do next?
Legs can't compare to wheels.
Let's go eat a midnight snack. I'll treat.
Isn't this-- Isn't this my money?
Bicheng, you've also come.
Dachun.
Get on the car first.
Why did you two also go there on that day?
It was a coincidence. I was afraid it'd frighten Bicheng, so I didn't allow you to take action.
- Bicheng, are you okay?- I'm not that fragile.
We're only worried about you.
We didn't come to talk about this.
- What's the situation?- Do you know a man called Liu Sanmu?
He's a member of the Nationalist Shanghai Intelligence Division One.
Since his brother Liu Sanmu was taken by you to Operations Division,
he went missing.
Looks like he really exists.
You know his whereabouts?
He has Liu Sanjin's hidden opium.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 PM at Pier 6, he's going to trade the goods.
- Get rid of him.- I understand.
There will be a lot of people at the pier. Keep it down. Do it as quickly as possible.
Okay. No problem.
That includes the person he's trading with.
- Why did they suddenly transfer you to Nanjing?- They said it's for a secret mission.
Oh. That's also good. You can go out to hide for a while.
Be careful. After I leave, go home and eat dinner with your sister-in-law.
She's still worried about you being chased by creditors. Go comfort her.
Then, I need to fulfill this lie. Maybe I can trick some money from her.
If only you have that ability. While I'm gone, take good care of the operations teams.
No problem! I'll take them all out to drink alcohol!
You're becoming more and more unreasonable.
- Meina.- What are you reading? You were so engrossed.
Bicheng, you are different from everyone else in this building.
You've come to the wrong place.
Why is it wrong?
Meina, what are you looking at?
I'm looking at your face. Judging by your face,
you should be in a college campus,
reading books, acting in operas,
and pursed by a huge group of guys.
After graduation, you could marry a college professor.
Then, for the rest of your life, you can live in an ivory tower
and avoid messing with the fireworks of society.
But you purposefully come to a messy place like Operations Division.
It's a pity.
Scholars are not good at anything.
It's true that I have no specialties.
Bicheng, what are you saying?
I'm telling you, it's pointless if a woman is capable.
As the saying goes, "doing a good job is worth less than marrying a good man."
Somebody like you, who doesn't need to fend for herself,
should only worry about yourself,
and then marry a good man, who loves you
and adores you to death. That'll be enough.
What are you thinking about?
Have you murdered people before?
Of course.
Did those people deserve to die?
I'm trying to say, must Liu Sanmu's trade partner tomorrow
really die?
The style of the Nationalists is to spare none, so he must die.
The superiors wouldn't allow a timed bomb to be buried around us.
Bicheng,
is something troubling you?
