I've confirmed it.
The Zhou Li locked up in Caohejing Prison is indeed the Zhou Li we know.
I am not insane. We can save Zhou Li.
If we know the transfer place and time, we have a chance to succeed.
From what I know, no one can save anyone from Bi Zhongliang's hands.
If it were some other thing, I surely would help you.
Please give me a bit more time and we both won't have any regrets anymore.
Will you go?
No problem.
You must not go escort the prisoners.
It doesn't matter if you are willing or not, there are some goodbyes that cannot be prevented.
If you want me to not do anything,
I can't do it.
- Episode 16 -
What if... I'm just saying what if,
by 11 a.m., you all still haven't seen the prisoner truck,
and I didn't give you any new information,
then it means that you must abandon the rescue mission.
Although we got delayed, I don't want to be unable to reach Tilanqiao ever.
Don't worry, Team Leader Chen.
If my driving skills are only second place,
then no one in Shanghai bund will dare say that they are first place.
Two months ago, I met a German.
He brought me to race cars with a group of Germans.
Do you know that when we reached the place,
- I really surprised all of them.- Oh.
After winning over them twice, none wanted to race with me anymore.
That good? Just keep bragging.
I am not bragging.
My German friend said
that if I go to Germany,
I surely will be the most famous and highest earning car racer.
Great.
I don't want to go.
The war there is worse than here.
Moreover, I don't understand their language at all!
If one day, a bomb falls,
I wouldn't even know where to escape.
Even if you have the money, you must have the life to spend it. Isn't it so, Team Leader Chen?
That's right.
You indeed drive so fast.
How come Fatty Yu drives like this?!
Fixing the car wasted a lot of time so he is hurrying.
How come they are still not here?
There is still 5 minutes. If they still don't come, we have to withdraw.
They will come.
They surely will come.
You two.
Team Leader Tang, why are you here?
Come with me.
Team Leader Liu instructed us to guard here.
What nonsense are you saying?
It was Erbao who told me to call you two.
Let's go.
He is waiting for you two inside.
Damn them! Who dare block our truck?
They are here.
They are here. They are finally here.
Liu Erbao from Operations Division. Don't mind him. Just drive.
It's still not 11 a.m. That's great.
But it has been quite delayed.
What now?
Don't know.
What are we waiting for?
Give the order!
Prepare to move.
Team Leader Chen.
Erbao,
what are you checking?
Division Chief got news that someone is smuggling medicines,
and told me to put a blockade here.
This truck is carrying death convicts.
If you aren't at ease, you can go check.
I almost forgot.
Team Leader Chen's mission today is to escort the criminals.
But... you seem to be running late.
That's right.
This truck has a flat tire again. How come this rotten truck has so many problems?
Hey, Erbao,
since all of you are here, go help out and guard the truck.
Oh, no problem. Come. Come.
Surround it. Surround it.
- Yes!- Run. Run.
- Run.- Ah Da and Ah Qing,
bring all the prisoners out.
Yes.
- Get out. Hurry.- Get out. Hurry.
Hurry. Hurry and move.
Hurry. Hurry up.
Follow.
- Hurry!- Hurry and move.
- Hurry!- Stand well.
The situation has changed. Mission is cancelled.
How about it? Has everyone withdrawn?
Lü Ming hasn't returned yet.
What?
This is bad.

Erbao,
do you have a cigarette?
Oh, yes, but it's not a high-quality cigarette.
You guys worked hard, too.
You lowly traitor!
Do you want to die?
I'll beat you to death!
The authorities ordered us to terminate operation!
- Why?- This is an order!
What order?
You won't even listen to me anymore?
This is what you get for running into me!
If he keeps this up, he'll beat her to death!
You want to die earlier? I'll fulfill your wish!
I won't follow this order!
She's my wife!
Look!
This is what you get for hitting me.
Do you see this? She's doing this to protect you!
- This is what you get for hitting me!- Enough.
Once we reach Tilanqiao Prison, you can do whatever you like with her,
but nobody is allowed to die under my watch.
Ah Da, Ah Qing, help her up.
- Yes, sir.- Yes, sir.
I'll let you live a few more hours!
Done!
Done.
Team Leader Chen, the truck is fixed.
Okay.
If nothing else, I'll leave now.
Okay, Team Leader Chen. Take care.
Get in the truck!
- Let's go.- Get in the truck!
- Hurry, hurry.- Keep up!
You lowly traitors!
- Keep up.- Hurry!
Hurry. Get in!
Get in!
Hurry and get in the truck.
Was my guess incorrect?
Quickly report to Division Chief that Team Leader Chen is leaving Qiaojiashan.
Yes, sir!
Come with me.
Let's go!
They all escaped.
- Sir!- What is it?
Two of our men were murdered.
Over there!
Both died from somebody breaking their necks.
While saying eternal farewell to an abandoned anti-Japanese soldier,
Chen Shen's vision is filled with Prime Minister's face.
Just as Prime Minister had wished,
he has slowly crafted a calloused heart.
He also now understands that some people's passing
is to allow other people to continue on with more persistence,
and these people are faced with
unpredictable futures.
Two people were murdered
in a radius of less than 200 meters,
but nobody heard?
Division Chief,
everyone had designated duties.
Also, we really didn't have enough men.
It's not a failure on your part.
It's that the murderer is somebody familiar to us.
Division Chief, do you want to search for who in the Operations Division has a missing button?
That'll alert the enemy.
Division Chief, I know people were certainly at the scene, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
At the time, there was a tea stall by the street.
But after the prisoner van successfully left,
all the people at the stall disappeared. Thus, I found this.
According to you,
those people suddenly withdrew?
That's right.
Did Chen Shen behave abnormally?
There was nothing abnormal about Chen Shen.
Except the prisoner van was a little late to Qiaojiashan today.
Also, right as I blocked the prisoner van, its tire popped.
What was the approximate time of that?
11 o'clock.
Traveling from Caohejing to Qiaojiashan
typically takes about 30 minutes.
That's right. They were late today.
Also, Fatty Yu continuously complained the car was in bad condition.
Right as they departed, the car had technical issues.
What other
suspicious people did you see?
I saw Tang Shanhai.
Tang Shanhai?
Why was he there?
He said he was delivering furniture wood for Li Moqun's friend.
- Did you let him through?- No.
I told him to leave behind the address, and I would deliver the wood later. Then, he left.
Li Moqun's friend?
Which friend?
That mistress, Miss Liu.
Investigate two issues for me.
First:
After Tang Shanhai left Qiaojiashan, where did he go and when did he come back?
Also, check on whether his clothing is missing a button.
- Yes, sir.- Second:
Put this item back
where you found it.
Division Chief, do you mean that
they'll come back to find this jade?
The nets I cast never come back empty.
I understand.
Don't move!
Don't move! Stay still!
Don't move!
- Take him away.- Arrest him.
Get up!
- You must hide news of this person's arrest from the public.- Yes, sir.
Starting now, nobody in the division
is allowed to leave. They must wait for my questioning.
Yes, Division Chief.
Team Leader Chen.
What's going on? Why did you lock the gate this morning?
Team Leader Chen, this is Division Chief's order.
Division Chief also said nobody is to leave today
to wait for questioning.
- Open the gates.- Yes, sir.
Hurry!
Boss, did something happen?
- There's blood.- Did they arrest somebody?
How did I teach you two?
Are you an idiot? The more you do, the more mistakes you'll make. If you don't do anything, you won't go wrong.
Go eat your roasted mice meat.
I'm listening to Boss. Let's go.
Let's go.
Who did Bi Zhongliang arrest? Do you know?
Not even Liu Meina knows. I'm guessing Bi Zhongliang is purposefully hiding it.
Then, are you sure Old Tao and the others all evacuated?
I already notified Old Tao of the withdrawal,
but I don't know if they made it out in time.
Please don't be Old Tao.
If praying were effective, we wouldn't need wars.
Anything that happens now is uncertain.
We must be prepared for the worst.
I'm sorry.
Who is it?
Team Leader Tang, it's me,
Liu Erbao.
Go open the door. I'll take care of him.
Team Leader Liu.
Mrs. Tang, you're also here? Perfect.
Division Chief called for everyone to gather at the meeting room.
Okay.
Also,
Team Leader Tang, I've already sent men to deliver
the wood to Zhujiajiao.
Thank you so much!
Don't thank me. We're all coworkers.
Then, I'll see you in the meeting room later.
Sure.
- Take care, Team Leader Liu.- Okay.
Then, I'll see you later.
Take care.
Don't leave!
Close the door.
What's wrong?
Division Chief called for everyone to gather at the meeting room.
Come soon! Hello, Team Leader Chen.
Immediately gather at the meeting room.
Everyone, immediately gather at the meeting room.
What do we do? How about you take it off?
No. If I don't wear this suit jacket in the meeting room, I'll only attract more attention.
But you can't just await your doom.
Who is it?
It's me.

I'm sure you've heard that
the people who come into this prison cell only have two options:
Surrender or death.
Don't waste your time.
I don't want to live anymore, anyway.
You can't even let go of a worldly possession.
I doubt you can easily let go of your life.
We both
have things we hold dear.
I know this item is very important to you,
but more important
is the person behind it, right?
Yes.
The owner of this button
is probably your accomplice.
Division Chief, I've notified everybody to gather in the meeting room.
We are all Chinese people.
Although we stand on different sides, we don't hold personal grudges.
While I am gone, I hope you can seriously consider this:
Of these two items, or these two people,
if you can only choose one, who would you choose?
When I return, I hope you will have an answer for me.
I heard the doorkeepers say that Tang Shanhai returned at 11:20 a.m. I also checked the buttons on his jacket.
They are identical to the one I found.
Are his buttons all on his jacket?
He was sitting. I couldn't tell for sure.
Driving back here from Qiaojiashan takes only 10 minutes.
That's right. He took 20 minutes.
It's possible that he was the messenger.
- Is Chen Shen back?- Yes.
Has anybody asked who the arrestee was?
Not yet.
It must have been 2 a.m. by the time you finished playing Mahjong last night, right?
It's not important that we finished late. Mainly, I lost money!
Just as I wanted to go buy a cup of coffee outside, they didn't let me leave.
What exactly happened?
I heard that they arrested somebody.
Division Chief suspects there's a mole.
Aiya, aren't we all just trying to make a living?
What's the point of having so many suspicions?
People like us are only pigs looking into a mirror.
We're basically not human!
Exactly! To the Japanese, what are we?
Lowlifes.
We're so afraid to neglect any authority figures. To the Chinese people,
we're traitors. They want to put us to death.
- So stupid. - Oh, Boss.
Now the Nationalists and Communists have come together.
If they team up and penetrate us from the inside,
we can't ward against them.
Hidden ambushes are hard to dodge. It's natural that Division Chief is careful.
Hey, which of you knows what exactly happened?
Team Leader Chen is so close to Division Chief. I think he'll know before we do.
Team Leader Tang, you don't understand me at all.
Team Leader Chen is the first to know
which girl of the ballroom dances the best.
But in the division,
he's always the last one to know any information. Isn't that right?
Meina understands me the best.
Before I begin today's meeting, everyone please stand.
Sit.
I suspect a mole
leaked our prisoner transfer file this time.
From the personal confession of a recently-captured Nationalist, we learned that they've planted an agent here.
Thus, starting now, everybody associated with the prisoner transfer
must be investigated.
[Ten minutes before]
Somebody has been arrested. I think it's associated with Zhou Li's operation.
I went to the site and notified them to terminate the operation,
but I don't know what happened afterwards.
Bi Zhongliang won't give up on this easily. His usual method
is to question everybody. We must avoid any possible loopholes.
I used an excuse of delivering wood to Li Moqun's mistress to notify the men of Hurricane Squad,
but Liu Erbao stopped me. In order to break through his blockade, I killed his men.
Shanhai is worried that's when his button was ripped off.
The meeting is about to begin.
If that button is in Bi Zhongliang--
Mrs. Tang, come with me to the office to get some sewing tools.
I think I have an identical button.
Li Xiaonan always comes here and gives me useless objects.
I can't believe it's come to use today.
I don't know how much of our conversation Liu Erbao heard,
but if he placed a blockade at Qiaojiashan, it means he heard us mention that place.
Thus, if Bi Zhongliang asks, we must give the same answer.
I'll tell Bi Zhongliang that I was complaining to Chen Shen
that lately, you always go to Qiaojiashan,
so I was suspecting you were cheating because your relationship with that woman is too intimate.
If he asks for details, you can say that I went to Qiaojiashan on both the 3rd and 17th days of this month.
In order to hide the secret for Li Moqun, I didn't tell you about it.
Okay, I'll remember it.
Bicheng,
the true test is here.
You must be careful.
- Division Chief.- Come sit.
I need to ask you a few questions for work purposes. Just answer truthfully.
Okay.
Before Team Leader Chen left Operations Division today to escort the prisoner transfer,
- did you see him?- Yes.
Did you speak to him?
Not much.
You must help me keep my visit to Miss Liu a secret.
You know that Mrs. Li is a very jealous woman.
That's right. At noon today, I went out to have a meal with my friend's family.
With who? In which restaurant?
It was the boss of a bank. We didn't go to a restaurant. We ate at their house.
What else?
We mentioned Team Leader Chen's girlfriend, Li Xiaonan.
Put it down.
If I send men to confirm you really ate with him, you wouldn't mind, right?
Otherwise, my uncle wouldn't let a newbie like me run his errands.
You don't trust me? I promise that nothing will come out of my mouth.
I don't mind,
but I don't think you can get in touch with him anytime soon.
At the time, Team Leader Chen was in a rush to leave, so we didn't talk much.
No, I also went to the furniture shop to find some new furniture blueprints for Miss Liu.
You have a very attentive work ethic. No wonder Supervisor Li compliments you so much.
They're planning to take a boat to Hong Kong this afternoon.
That's only trivial business.
I had lunch with them today to send them off.
She's currently my neighbor and treats me very passionately.
If they contact me after reaching Hong Kong,
it'll take a few days.
Little rascal, be serious!
If you have any questions, just ask!
Do I need to ask you? If there's anything you need to confess, go ahead.
Can I know what happened first?
Somebody wanted to rescue a prisoner.
Rescue a prisoner? Why didn't I run into them?
Because they found the people we placed there
and changed their plan to abort the rescue.
You placed men there? That means you knew about the rescue beforehand.
Then, why did you ask me to escort the transfer?
I must tell Sister-in-Law about this. She'll punish you for sure.
No! When I sent you, I didn't know about it, either.
Then, when did you find out?
Am I questioning you, or are you questioning me?
Erbao, can you go outside for a moment?
Just talk. What do you need to tell me in private?
I won't do this work anymore.
Give me some money, and I'll open a barber shop. I want to do proper business.
Are you giving me attitude?
If you don't trust me, why am I still here?
Who said so?
If I don't even trust you, then of the whole Operations Division and Special Agents Central Headquarters,
who else can I trust?
Look at how tiring your life is.
You openly state that you trust me, but you secretly order men to watch me.
No, you know that
people in the division want to show off to me to earn rewards.
Thus, they often tattle to me. Of course some news would involve you,
but I have my own judgements! Why are you so worried?
I'm not worried.
I just think it's tiring. This way, we'll both be tired.
We're alive! Living a life is tiring.
Comfort is for dead people.
Old Bi, we can't reach this extent.
Tell me. What information do you want me to tell you?
Two things.
First: Before you left Division this morning,
what did Xu Bicheng say to you?
She was complaining that Tang Shanhai has been going to Qiaojiashan lately.
She doesn't know what he's been doing, so she wanted to me investigate it.
You're building quite a good relationship with her.
You're the one who told me to seduce her.
Don't be seduced by her, instead.
Don't worry. That won't happen.
Second:
During today's prisoner escort, did anything suspicious happen?
