(Lost in 1949)
Madam, how much is this?
1000 pieces for 6000 dollars.
How much?
Hi there,
1000 pieces for 6000 dollars.
Would you like to purchase?
Let's go.
Brother,
but what would we burn then?
Chief Jiang, you wanted to see me?
It was a good start.
The next step is to lure the enemy.
Gain Huang Li Wen's trust as soon as possible.
Find out who the wordless tombstone is for.
How it relates to Huang Li Wen.
See if it leads to the Communist.
If it does,
find out the person's code name and real name.
Once we have all these information,
cease Huang Li Wen immediately.
We can't slip any information away.
Yes, sir.
Our landlord changed the terms again.
How should we get...
these 2 gold bars.
It seems, we won't be...
able to stay here for long.
What should we do?
Zhi Cai, you're the head of the house.
You should figure it out.
But...
don't be too pressured.
Just find somewhere simple and livable.
Don't worry about me.
I'll stay at the institute.
Young Master Zhi Cai.
Young Master Zhi Cai, Deputy Mayor Chen is here.
The car is parked outside.
So late at night?
Just stay put.
I'll go greet him.
Alright, go, go.
Mayor, after you.
He must be here for Li Jie.
Deputy Mayor Chen.
-Hello everyone. -Here, this way.
Please sit.
Sit, please.
I'm here today,
for no other agenda,
besides representing the government...
to express interest...
in Li Jie's hard work.
Thank you for your interest.
Li Jie, how is the experiment?
How is it coming along?
According to estimation,
it will be completed in 40 to 45 days.
That's great.
Here, mayor.
-Have some tea. -Alright.
Li Jie,
take caution when you're doing experiment,
keep the results confidential,
and hand over the report quickly.
That's all I'm here to remind you.
Nothing else.
Who should I hand over...
the report of my experiments to?
Of course you'll submit it to your superiors.
Your superiors have...
allocated a special reward for your experiments,
and it's a big one too.
Firstly,
I cannot guarantee success...
for my experiments.
Secondly,
even if it does,
according to the worldly practice of scientific research,
it should be published in the physics community.
Therefore, as to what you say about....
confidentiality and hand over,
I cannot oblige.
All due respect.
Deputy Mayor Chen.
Li Jie is an academic genius.
I have great respect for him.
But I'm worried about him too.
He might be blind sighted.
Doing harm to himself.
All of you are Li Jie's family.
Please guide him...
if he seems confused.
Please think wisely before you act.
-Of course. -We will, we will.
Take care then.
Let me walk you out.
Quickly now.
Li Na.
Cheer up, will you?
I'm perfectly fine.
In 2 days,
I'll be busy cleaning out a house.
Are you really going to buy the Qiao's house?
Why, of course.
I know you're upset.
Master Qiao's recent passing...
must be hard on the family too.
I think...
they might not be able to handle it.
What's done is done.
They shouldn't have provoked me.
The more they suffer,
the less pain I feel.
Li Jie,
from what Deputy Mayor Chen said,
so long as the report is handed in, everything will be fine.
You can decide...
whatever you wish to write.
Why don't you just do a quick one...
and hand it in, for the sake of it.
Li Jie.
if we have that prize money,
then we can...
keep the house!
Experiment results...
are serious matters.
Every argument...
can trigger up to millions of chain experiments...
in thousands of scientists.
If these experiments...
are based on my sloppy report,
then I would become the murderer...
to the time wasted by these researchers.
Look, Li Jie.
Why not do this?
Why don't you write a report,
and submit it first?
And then decide...
on republishing later.
How's that sound?
We're talking about principles here.
Scientific research...
should not be monopolized by a government.
It's meant to serve mankind.
But, what about...
You...
Mom.
If Li Jie is not willing to do so,
then let's not force him.
It's still not too bad for now.
We still have 5 days, don't we?
Don't worry.
These 2 gold bars.
I'll handle them.
Try these.
It's the New Year's meal by mother-in-law.
Her aubergines are delicious.
You always said my aubergines...
tasted like leather shoes.
I brought some wine for you too.
Take care.
I'm afraid...
I won't be able to visit you again.
Hi there,
do you have some matchsticks to spare?
I was in a rush when I came out,
and forgot them.
I do.
Here.
You're here to worship the deceased too?
I came to see a friend of mine.
How should I address you?
Just call me Mrs. Zhu.
Thank you Mrs. Zhu.
You're welcome.
Use it well.
I'm off to prepare the next meal.
Mrs. Zhu,
but I'm not done with the matchsticks.
Just keep them.
Excuse, Mrs. Zhu.
There's no name on this tombstone.
How do you know it's your friend?
It's getting late.
I've got to cook.
I saw you here before.
You asked this person to come into your dreams.
I...I was just talking gibberish,
because I felt bad that it was so lonely.
I...I should be going.
Mrs. Zhu!
I'd like to have a chat with you.
Master Six.
You're still here?
I didn't notice the time.
Did I disturb you?
I'll leave right away.
You are such a hard worker.
I have only appreciation for you.
You're far from a bother.
I wanted to speed things along.
That's why, I make more time for it.
That means...
in just a few days,
it'll all be done.
Four days, if all goes well.
I wanted to finish it up quickly.
To give you a peace of mind.
And also to get those...
gold bars quicker, eh?
Not at all.
I keep the promises I make.
I'm a man of my word.
My family's gone.
I don't know where their bodies are.
I don't even know...
how long I can keep this up.
I know how you feel.
What's the connection between Huang Li Wen and the deceased?
She hasn't told me yet.
But it seems that she trusts me.
Besides buying my story,
she even agreed to come to my place,
said she wanted to have good chat.
Li Na.
Li Na! What are you burning?
Calm down, sister.
I'm just...
burning some photographs and letters.
Aren't these your memories with Wu Yun Fu?
Why did you burn them?
So what if I burn them?
Now,
all I want to do...
is to burn it all.
Hands off, sister!
Right now I just want to...
burn all my bridges with Wu Yun Fu.
I never want to look back.
Li Na, don't act on impulse.
He doesn't answer my calls.
He didn't come to the wedding.
Isn't he making it obvious...
that he wants to break up.
Think about it.
At the time...
before he left, he made everything sound so nice.
And now?
Look at how he is now!
How could he do this?
He played me like a fool.
Li Na.
About this wedding,
I think you wronged Wu Yun Fu.
I wronged him?
Back at the train station when you said goodbye,
what did he actually say to you?
He said he'd give me a suprise on the night before New Year’s Eve.
Must the surprise be a wedding?
What's a surprise if it's not a wedding?
Li Na, don't forget...
Wu Yun Fu is not just any man.
He's a soldier.
To you,
a surprise is a...
romantic wedding.
But to him,
it could be...
a very distant and massive...
dream and ambition.
What's it got to do with me?
Of course it has to do with you.
You're the one person he loves the most in his life.
His dreams and ambitions...
can't possibly exist without you in them.
Li Na.
Mom kept persuading you...
to leave Wu Yun Fu.
Yet you stood your ground.
Since you've already made your choice...
to be with a soldier.
Then, why do you keep...
being so stubborn and childish...
and refusing to understand him?
If you put it this way,
then it's all my fault isn't it?
Just wait.
When he comes back.
I'll give him a piece of my mind.
Come here.
I've got something to show you.
These were for the wedding.
Cakes, cookies...
and cigarrettes and liquor.
I've packed them all up.
But I think...
it's best we return them.
Oh, wow.
They can be returned?
I can't.
But... Qiao Zhi Cai can.
Sister.
You've been thinking of someone else all along!
Li Na.
Spare the Qiao family, will you?
Where will their whole family...
go to?
So you went...
all the way,
just to convince me...
to not buy Qiao family's house?
I hoped you would come to your senses.
And not let your anger out on an innocent family.
You're so concerned about the Qiao family.
Could it be that...
you're really going to marry Qiao Zhi Cai?
Me? Marry Qiao Zhi Cai?
Yeah.
Mom said it herself.
She said she'd go ask for marriage for you.
I thought she was joking.
Seems like it's bound to happen.
Enough with your nonsense.
If it's nonsense, why would mom know?
You know, the Qiao's house...
even if I don't buy it, someone else will.
You may convince me.
But you can't convince other people.
Li Na.
Li Na!
I've finished the inventory.
This is for the antiques.
This is for the gold accesories.
This is for the jewellery,
the former currency, the gold and silver.
Please have a look at it.
Brother Qiao.
Who'd ever know.
You've got such beautiful handwriting.
A family of scholars indeed.
It's nothing. Master Six.
Master Six.
These silvers...
the silvers today are more than usual.
Isn't more, better?
It is, it's pretty great.
Master Six.
The painting of your favourite horse by James Cagney is finally done.
It took 1 whole year and now it's finally completed.
Let's have a look.
Great.
Does this James Cagney...
not have eyes!
What is this crap!
How does this...
look like my handsome horse?
Look at those eyes!
Does it look alive?
These short legs!
And this. This mane!
He spent my entire year!
Take it away!
Master Six,
why don't we go to the International Hotel.
Yun Qiu is waiting to do...
a Pingtan musical performance for you.
Why are you still here?
It's nothing important, Master Six.
Speak what's on your mind.
Are you still thinking...
about those 2 gold bars?
Brother Qiao.
You've worked hard for me for so many days.
Dare I still trouble you?
Don't you worry.
Those 2 gold bars...
are sitting at home, waiting for you.
Hurry on home now.
Thank you, Master Six.
Hello,
is this, Mrs. Zhu?
I'm Huang Li Wen.
Could you please...
meet me at 11a.m. ...
by Lao Jie Fu Textile Shop?
That's great.
See you later.
Li Wen, I'm coming in.
Where are you heading to?
I'm heading to the textile shop to get some materials.
Just nice.
I'll go with you.
It's alright, mother.
I'm meeting my classmates.
We've agreed to go together.
What do you need?
I'll just get it for you.
It's not for me.
It's for you.
I was thinking...
I'd make you a few pretty dresses to wear...
for when we ask for marriage at the Qiao's.
What did you say?
Ask for a marriage.
I've thought about it.
In case, family Qiao...
cannot keep their house,
after you get married with Qiao Zhi Cai,
they can all move to our house.
I'm okay with it.
What are you thinking about?
Why should I marry Qiao Zhi Cai?
Li Wen,
don't hide your feelings.
I thought it through,
I won't disapprove your relationship.
On that day,
what Mr. Qiao said,
you heard it as well.
He guaranteed his son,
therefore I decided to believe him again.
Moreover,
both of you are in love with each other.
That's why you should get married.
You shouldn't be in a relationship...
sneakily.
Stop fussing around.
This comes out from nowhere.
You must remember...
to ask Qiao Zhi Cai...
whether their family has the rules of mourning.
It could be 3 months...
or 3 years.
But fortunately,
he is the second son of family Qiao.
Therefore, it can be compromised.
I'm running out of time.
Let's continue this later.
Li Wen!
Why do you think Master kept these paintings?
He is wasting money.
Young mistress,
you shouldn't say like this.
Master always mentioned that...
those paintings...
are priceless.
Priceless treasure?
No one would buy it even if we sell in low price.
That's why it is priceless.
Don't you think I am the pity one?
I become a family member of paper tiger.
I have to work from...
day to night,
and I'm losing a house now.
Has Zhi Cai returned?
Not yet.
See?
I told them he is not reliable.
He claimed he would accept all responsibilities.
In the end, he trick all of us.
I'm wondering the reason of Madam...
handed this family to him.
Don't you think she is insane?
Mother.
Mother, I...
I have no other meanings.
I was just thinking,
it's getting late...
and Zhi Cai has not returned yet.
I'm afraid...
what if the landlord asks anything,
Where should the whole family...
move to?
Don't you worry about it.
Stop.
I said stop!
What's wrong?
There you are.
What do you mean?
You are the silver dealer.
Silver dealer?
How could I be a silver dealer?
You got the wrong person.
Search!
Take him down!
Faster!
-Freeze! -Freeze!
Don't run!
Mrs. Zhu.
Miss Huang.
I thought you wouldn't show yourself.
I'm sorry, something happened to my house.
Sorry for keep you waiting.
It's okay, my house is nearby.
They are doing inspections.
The street will be closed later.
That'd be troublesome.
You're right.
Let's go.
Alright, I understand.
I'm not a silver dealer!
I'm really not a silver dealer!
What are you doing?
-Freeze. -Stay still.
I am not a silver dealer.
Search!
I, I don't have any silver.
Stand still!
Get away!
Don't move! Freeze!
Well done, you are the silver dealer.
You break the law, resist to be arrested and escaped.
You've stacked 3 more crimes to yourself.
With this evidence,
we can let you die now.
Oh god, something happened again.
Let's get going, come on.
I am the people of Master Six.
-Who? -Master Six.
Why don't you claim yourself the people of Chairman Jiang?
I am really the people of Master Six!
You got the wrong person!
Stand still!
Beat him!
Soldier is hitting people!
I heard the voice of my friend.
Mrs. Zhu,
my friend is having trouble.
Let's talk about it later.
Miss Huang! Miss Huang!
Soldier is hitting people!
Excuse me!
Stop beating him anymore!
Who are you?
Obstructing justice and defying public order.
Catch them all.
Wait a minute.
Why did you catch him?
He is a silver dealer.
We will kill them once we find them.
What's wrong?
Why did you stop chasing her?
She said she heard her friend's voice.
Friend?
This man stayed at the Zhenning Village with me.
We can call Chief Security Officer to prove it.
He has a proper job,
he isn't a silver dealer.
Shut up!
You can stop your teaching.
Bring her along!
She has nothing to do with this.
Whoever has a silver coin is a silver dealer!
Then, we can't survive anymore!
Gold Yuan is devaluing day by day,
everyone is...
relying on silvers to survive!
A silver dealer...
will be beheaded!
You didn't ask for more evidences.
You just claimed that he's a silver dealer and you'll shoot him!
What do you want us to do?
Gold Yuan has devalued!
Give back our money!
Shut up!
If you make trouble,
I will arrest all of you!
Go looking for Master Six.
This money was given by Master Six.
Go ask him to help me.
Take him away!
Ask him to save me.
Move!
Don't push me.
You can pick that one!
This is mine!
There are so many left over there!
Why must you take mine?
You didn't make any mistake, right?
You were too close to us.
You!
Let me tell you.
We almost got her.
If she gets away,
both of us will get into trouble!
Lady, you can't go in.
I have favor to ask Master Six.
Miss Li Wen.
I have favor to ask Master Six.
Please, let me see him.
You can't go in now.
Master Six is listening to song.
My matter is more important than song.
I mean it.
Master Six!
Miss Li Wen, you can't be this rude.
I am in an emergency!
I can't waste time here, Master Six!
Master Six! Master Six!
Miss Li Wen, if you persist,
we won't be easy on you.
Master Six! Master Six! Master Six!
Master Six!
What are you doing?
Miss Li Wen, please come in.
Master Six.
Black tea, green tea or Puer?
Master Six, I have no time for tea.
I am in an emergency!
You have to help me.
The matter you are going to say,
I knew it.
You knew?
Whoever facing this kind of situation...
won't feel...
good at all.
﻿However, don't worry about it.
I will try my best to settle it.
Thank you, Master Six.
You're welcome.
The matter of your sister...
is my concerned as well.
What's wrong with my sister?
What?
You must...
you must know this incident too.
The financé ran away from marriage,
she's humiliated.
I'm talking about Qiao Zhi Cai.
What's wrong with him?
He was mistaken as...
silver dealer on the street.
They arrested him...
and he was almost executed by shooting.
-Move! -Keep moving!
Move!
-Faster! -Go in there!
I...
I am not a silver dealer for sure.
If you want the money, please take it.
Is that enough?
Qiao Zhi Cai,
I would rather be shot than...
being tortured here.
I am the people of Master Six!
You are beating Master Six, when you beat me!
Once Master Six gives his orders,
I will finish you all!
Master Six writes a personal order for you?
Tomorrow morning will be the execution.
Let's have some...
fun tonight.
Bravo.
He was taken as silver dealer...
because of the silver you gave.
He was framed.
Master Six,
you are the only one who can rescue him.
How did this happen?
He is too careless.
He should head to...
home after taking the money.
Why does he...
show off on the street?
He met those unreasonable soldiers...
on the way to home...
and being caught by them.
Master Six, please make a call...
to Police Corps.
You only need to say a word,
they will release him immediately.
Miss Li Wen, I can't do it.
Nowadays, the rules has listed that...
officer is unable to interrupt judicature.
They are very strict with it now.
Master Six, if you refuse to make the call,
I wonder what will they do...
to Qiao Zhi Cai.
In my opinion,
we should not be involved in this.
Let's talk about it later.
Master Six.
I want to help him as well,
but I can't.
When it comes to financial order...
the arrest and punishment are severe.
A silver dealer...
is a felonious act.
No matter how many people you ask,
no one can save him now.
But Master Six,
Qiao Zhi Cai is not a silver dealer.
You know it too.
Miss Li Wen.
Master Six has something to do.
Please leave.
Master Six!
No, Master Six!
Master Six, please save Qiao Zhi Cai!
Master Six! Master Six! I beg you!
Master Six! Please save him! Master Six!
Master Six! Master Six! Master Six!
Miss Li Wen,
you better leave now.
Do me a favor, please.
Please make a call to Police Corps...
and claim this is an order from Master Six.
I...
I beg for your help.
No one would know, if you keep quiet.
Miss Li Wen, please ask someone else.
I can't do this for you.
The pier has replied.
The horses are not delivered yet.
After the incident of Taiping Ship,
all huge or tiny boats...
are not allowed to overload.
What should we do now?
Go find another ship!
In case, we failed to deliver the horses,
Master Six won't forgive us.
I know.
However, we have no other way...
because of this incident.
They are not going to discuss with us too.
Can you stop talking about the horse?
I can give you extra money,
so...
Can't you see we are busy?
This woman is so troublesome.
What is the matter?
She came to ask for rescuing Qiao Zhi Cai.
But she doesn't know that...
Master Six is the one,
who intended to kill him.
Sister,
you're back.
I have something to tell you.
I'm holding...
limited package shea butter lotion.
There are only few sets in Shanghai.
All rich women...
are queuing for this.
I bought one set for you...
and also one set for mother.
Are you listening?
Sister,
what is the matter?
Nothing.
Huang Li Wen, tell me.
Who bully you?
Oh my.
Sister.
What's wrong with you?
Qiao Zhi Cai,
Qiao Zhi Cai has been arrested.
He might be dead soon.
I asked Master Six to help him.
But Master Six refused to help him.
Sister.
Didn't you say that...
you're not related to Qiao Zhi Cai?
Just let him die.
What are you talking about?
I'm sorry.
I, I am...
I am kidding with you.
Why did you get angry?
How could you make fun of...
the matter of life and death?
Qiao Zhi Cai is my friend.
Alright, I understood.
Everything will be fine.
Master Six rejected you?
I will do this for you.
Li Na, what are you doing?
Don't worry.
You better leave this alone.
But I have to tell you,
-after I help you this time, -Don't go.
you must admit the relationship between you and him.
Look at your expression.
Please, don't go.
-I made up my mind. -I don't allow it.
Come back, Li Na!
Li Na!
Don't go, I have bad feeling.
I will be careful, alright?
You must be careful!
I got it!
You have been released.
I.
Mr. Qiao.
Miss Huang.
Yes, I am back.
During this period,
the lab is packing the materials...
and also the machine...
which are going to be...
moved to Hong Kong.
It is too noisy.
So, I came back home.
I have a present for you.
Oxford General Physic?
This...
Last time, you suggested to me...
to experience...
the real world.
After the observation,
I found many interesting places.
Therefore, I also hope that...
you would understand my world.
Mr. Qiao,
your brother has been caught,
yet, you are talking about Physic.
My brother has been caught?
Who did it?
Master Six.
-Good bye. -Bye bye.
Miss Li Na, please have a seat.
Miss Li Na,
why would you come here today?
Since you left The Paramount,
this place...
has become dull.
I feel really lonely.
Is that true?
But, Master Six,
you don't seem like...
you're lonely.
To be honest,
today,
I come to The Paramount...
especially for you.
I...
have a small request.
I wonder if you can help me.
Master Six.
The comprador of Pierre Shipping Company...
would like to talk to you directly.
Can't you see...
Miss Li Na is here?
Tell him.
He must make a space for my horse.
Moreover, keep places for 2 feeders...
and cleaner.
I need the cabin.
Go ahead.
Yes, sir.
You are so busy, Master Six.
-I actually would like to... -Master Six.
What's wrong again?
They don't allow shipping horses.
No way.
The horses must be shipped.
They must keep a cabin for it.
But he said that...
there's no space already.
Even the chef of ambassador...
doesn't have a cabin.
Enough!
If my second brother...
faces this consequence...
because of trading silver,
I think it is acceptable.
Pardon?
The situation is unstable,
but he's done something which damages the financial order.
It causes a huge damage...
to the whole society.
Mr. Qiao,
I know you are naturally rigid...
and inconsiderate.
But how can you be so mean...
when your second brother is suffering?
A gentleman should make money with the right way.
There are so many proper jobs out there.
Why did they choose a shortcut...
and risk their life?
Choose a shortcut...
and risk their life?
I think you're the blind one...
and don't know what your second brother has done for you!
Everyday he tries to find ways...
to support your family...
and retrieve the house!
If you think it's so easy,
why don't you do it yourself?
You can leave now.
Goodbye!
Miss Huang.
Li Jie.
Mother.
Go back to your room first.
I have something to do over here.
Madam Qiao,
How much have you collected...
to pay for the fund of house?
Could you pay all of it by today?
Mr. He.
Four gold bars...
is not a small amount.
You gave us too little time.
My first son...
is figuring out a way to get the money.
My second son is doing the same thing too.
Please have your tea...
and please wait for a while.
If both of your sons...
are able to get the money,
they should be home already.
It's late, yet they haven't come back.
I think...
the hope is frail.
Mr. He,
I will find a way...
to get the house fund.
