Ripped By Rockfella Lost in 1949
December, 1948.
The value of Gold Yuan deteriorated.
The people were worried.
The governors were struggling...
while planning for retreat.
The people were fighting to convert the gold to make ends meet.
It was a chaos.
Make way! Make way!
You!
Is this how you drive a car?
Can't you see that I'm here?
This way please, the stocks are upstairs.
Be careful.
You're here.
Please come in. Please come in.
Please come in.
(Hefei Road.)
Keep yelling!
I'm hungry!
Look for Long Legs at black market.
Pass this memo to him.
I've got your stock all ready.
I count on you for my grandson's formula.
You're welcome.
You've been taking care of me here.
My stomachache is killing me.
It's your time for some fresh air.
Xu Hui.
Zhi Cai, a cigarette please.
Zhi Cai.
Zhi Cai, a cigarette please.
Thanks Brother Qiao.
Don't forget about my thing.
We've investigated.
The communist bandit is having meeting at second floor west wing.
There are about 7 to 8 of them.
How did you find out?
There was a communist we encountered in Chongqing.
His code is Ba.
He was seen about half an hour ago.
Is our setup ready?
This is the plan.
The staircase at west wing will squeak from movements.
We'll get in from east wing.
There's a warehouse at east wing.
And it is stuffed with items.
It's better for monitoring.
There's a staircase at back door on first floor that leads here.
The owner of this leather shop is called Ye.
He's not around as he is out purchasing goods.
How about the monitoring agent? Are they in place?
Yes he is.
But since it is an emergency...
he only managed to bring local monitoring device.
Why? What about the German's?
We'll need the approval from Chief Jiang of the logistics department...
if we were to use imported monitoring device from the station.
He is not around today.
Anyway, let's move.
Yes.
There have been quite a number of pro-democracy professionals...
showing their affinity in joining the political conference.
We've sent quite a number of professionals up north.
But there are still a small number of them...
due to some personal reasons, chose to stay back in Guang Zhou, Shanghai.
We have to protect them...
from being assaulted by the opponent.
We have to send them up north to join the reformation of a new China.
We shall name this operation...
the Homecoming Operation.
Meal time!
The bun is inedible, brother!
Craziness has filled the entire atmosphere.
Same goes in the prison.
The prisoners fight merely for a fulfilling meal.
What are you doing?
Calm down! Calm down!
Stand still.
The operation may start after Mr. Ye's back.
He'll bring the transceiver that we need.
When will Mr. Ye be back then?
That's the plan. He's in Nanjing.
He'll be back in Shanghai by train tomorrow.
Great!
Stop!
Get back!
Brother!
It's new year. Don't be angry.
He just wanted something to eat.
-Don't be angry. -Kill me if you dare.
Now.
Sir, the communists are all dead.
None of them survived.
It seems like a suicidal operation.
Sir! Sir!
There's a survivor. Our people.
Bring him here, quick!
That Ye fellow...
will be back from Nanjing by train.
Emergency treatment, quick!
You come here.
Look up for the background of this Ye fellow now.
Be it a photo or a portrait.
I need it to be in our hands as soon as possible, understood?
Right.
Will the train from Nanjing to Shanghai...
pass by Changzhou?
-Yes. -Good.
Prepare a car, take only a few of you along.
We'll head to Changzhou Station now.
If we see Ye,
nobody moves a muscle without my order.
You're prohibited to pull the trigger, understood?
-Yes sir. -Let's go.
Who's he?
A political criminal who'll be executed by shooting soon.
Just having fun beating him up.
How about your assignment?
It's almost done.
It's President Jiang's new year pardon tomorrow.
Qiao Zhi Cai is on the list.
Someone doesn't want him to be released.
-Understood? -Yes.
He'll be shot to death tonight.
Shot?
For trying to escape.
Don't ruin it.
Don't worry.
Xu Hui.
Have some water, Xu Hui.
Want some water?
Did you get in touch with Mr. Ye?
No.
What happened at the leather shop was unexpected.
I'd sent Mr. Ye a couple of emergency signals...
but he didn't respond.
He must have boarded the train from Nanjing.
The transceiver is still with him.
What shall we do?
We need to pick him up at the station first thing in the morning.
What are you doing?
Xu Hui.
I'm not hiding anything from you.
I'm getting out.
He'll be shot to death tonight.
Shot?
For trying to escape.
I'll place your medicine here.
You must take it,
to prevent inflammation and fever.
Thank you.
We're brothers. It's our destiny.
You take care.
Brother Qiao, since you're out...
can you do me a favour?
Sure.
I'll help if I could.
Help me up.
-Are you alright? -Brother.
I can't afford to see you...
sacrificing yourself.
Brother Qiao.
I know I can't convince you to stay.
I'm not going to make it out,
therefore I chose to do this.
Somebody wants you die tonight.
You're listed for new year pardon.
You must make it through tonight.
My late father left this for me.
Please pass it to my family after you're released.
Hefei Road, Handel Leather Shop.
Mr. Ye.
Please give it to him by hand.
Brother.
I bid you goodbye.
Excuse me.
Take out your identity cards.
-Mr. Ye. -Take it out.
We'll check one by one.
We'll check on your hand held luggage too.
-Take out your ID! -You made a mistake.
We'll check one by one.
We'll check on your hand held luggage too.
Take out your identity cards. Take off your coats.
Open up your boxes.
Take off your scarfs.
Take off your hats.
Show me your identity card!
Take out your identity cards.
Check carefully.
Identity card please.
That's all you brought along?
Relative visitation.
Identity card please.
Identity card.
Ye Ru Feng?
Come, take out your identity cards.
They don't have it.
Take them away.
Take it out.
Come over, Qiao Zhi Cai.
What happened to Xu Hui last night,
do you have any idea?
I don't know.
Didn't I tell you everything yesterday?
I was all tied up here.
How can it be me?
Brother.
I didn't do anything wrong, brother.
I didn't...
I really don't know a thing.
Go.
Start your life anew.
Are you alright, Miss?
You don't have a seat. little Missy?
Come, sit with me.
-Yes, sit on my lap. -Come on.
Even my legs are broken,
there's still one good one. Come!
-Get off me! -Did you hurt yourself, Miss?
-Get off! -Miss!
Come here. Come here.
Let go!
You smell nice, miss.
Let go! Let go!
You smell nice, Miss.
Aren't you injured?
Then you should get some rest.
-Who are you? -Who are you?
Who are you?
You're in no place to tell us what to do.
Didn't your officer teach you that soldiers should disregard money,
life and emotions?
Stay true to principles, obey the party's programme.
It shall never changed till the day you die?
I'm sorry for what happened.
I was about to register my seat at the second class cart.
It's quite inconvenient for you since you're traveling alone.
Why don't you tag along with me?
Please don't stand on ceremony.
-Thank you sir. -It's alright.
Thank god you were there just now.
Miss.
We met by chance, you don't have to thank me.
-Hi, is this seat occupied? -No.
Second class cart is way better.
So you'd just registered your seats here too?
Yes.
I saw that you were harassed by the injured soldiers just now.
I was about to speak out.
But thank god your friend here arrived in time.
That's why I retreated.
You misunderstood.
I just knew this lady.
That's right.
I didn't know him.
Really? You didn't know each other?
Then you're such a gentleman sir.
I was just helping, there's nothing to boast about.
I nearly forgot, sir.
I forgot to pay you for my ticket.
-No. -I'll feel bad if you don't take it.
Then I think I'll just take it.
Thank you.
It's a long journey.
It must be tiring sitting in the cart.
You must have traveled for long hours, Miss?
No I didn't.
Where did you board the train from?
Hankou.
You're Wuhanese?
I thought you were Shanghainese judging from your accent.
I'm a Shanghainese.
I work in Wuhan.
Working lady.
I'm not that modern, I'm a clerk of an enamel factory.
I stayed in Wuhan for quite some time.
But I didn't know where the enamel factory is.
Hankou.
Hankou is a nice place.
Bao Tong Temple, Chang Chun Temple.
One can take a trip there during free time.
Bao Tong and Chang Chun Temple are in Wuchang.
I've been traveling all the while.
I tend to mix up places.
Sorry for being a joke.
What are you looking at? Don't you know where you stand?
Miss.
I wouldn't even look at you if...
I wasn't away from women for these 2 long years.
Rascal.
I think I was being rude calling you Miss all the while.
-Your husband works in Wuhan too? -Yes.
-Then your husband... -Sir.
Can I have a look at the newspaper?
-Sure. -Thanks.
Miss.
There was a shop in Wuhan selling Kong Ming lantern.
It's name is either Heng Sheng Ji or Xu Sheng Ji.
Lu Sheng Ji.
I brought my children there for Kong Ming lantern before.
Lu Sheng Ji.
Yes.
Thank you.
-Then your husband... -You must be hungry?
Have some cake. There are some butter cakes.
One piece per person.
I'll have it.
No, no, no.
How can I let a lady pay for me?
Get out!
We don't serve people like you.
Please get out, okay?
Look at the leather.
It's specially made for you if you wear it. Look!
Be extra observant later.
You go to the platform, I'll be at the exit.
Never ever let him get away.
I'll bid you farewell here.
Good bye.
Perhaps I can give you a lift Miss? My ride is just outside.
No, thanks. My house is not far away.
I can go back on my own.
-Need a lift, sir? -No, thanks.
-Where are you heading to? -No, thanks.
This way.
Take out your identity cards.
Check one by one and let one pass through at a time.
-Huang Li Wen. -Mr. Ye.
What's wrong with you?
Pass the luggage to Xiao Guang.
What? Xiang Guang is here in Shanghai?
Number 32, Hefei Road.
-Handel Leather Shop. -How about you?
I'm alright.
Mr. Ye! Mr. Ye!
Mr. Ye!
Move!
How about the task that organization ordered?
The transceiver is not with him.
Who gave you the permission to fire?
It wasn't us who started to shoot, sir.
I'll lost my trail after he died.
What else can I investigate into?
Bring back the body.
Give it to the autopsy people.
We'll see what else we can discover from there.
What's wrong?
Pretty on the outside.
But rotten on the inside.
Sir.
Let's go.
-Where to, Miss? -Go straight.
Okay!
Hefei Road.
Mr. Qiao.
Our boss has invited you to a meet up.
Boss? What boss?
I'm going home.
Don't tell me that you've forgotten about Boss Jiang.
Jiang Feng Ping?
Where is Boss Jiang working at now?
You'll know once you get there, Mr. Qiao.
Trying to build suspense, are you?
I was his teacher when he first started out.
What does your company do?
Such massive parade and so many good cars.
You're such a chatter, Mr. Qiao.
Where are we heading to?
Secret Service.
Above are the situations happened during the operation at the station.
Even though we'd shot Ye Ru Feng, a communist member, dead,
the rampant communist spies...
will not be exterminated completely by occasional victories.
I heard that the communists have a secret plan.
A plan to relocate all the professionals...
from Shanghai and other parts of the country.
We can't be too optimistic about this.
I would like to urge everyone...
to cooperate with me.
Especially the logistics department.
This way, Mr. Qiao.
Please wait, Mr. Qiao.
Chief Jiang just went for a meeting.
It wasn't too long since Chief Jiang was elected...
as the chief of logistics department right?
It wasn't too short either.
It's been a year and a half.
Mr. Qiao,
haven't you prepared some present for Chief Jiang?
Then I'll have you wait for him here.
How can you use whatever device at your own wish...
without going through standard procedure?
We'll need the approval from Chief Jiang of the logistics department...
if we were to use imported monitoring device from the station.
He is not around today.
Chief Jiang.
It's a special period now.
Please excuse us if we'd neglected the procedure due to emergency.
I'm excusing you.
But you have to give a valid explanation to the higher ups.
I still have to face Master Six.
Luckily I didn't let you take the Germany-made monitor away.
We just dodged a bullet.
Or else none of us will be safe.
Why didn't you catch one back alive?
This is not mine.
What's wrong?
Chief.
