(Lost In 1949)
Chief Jiang, what happened tonight...
in the study?
Did he touch...
anything here?
Reporting to Master Six,
Thee lights in the study weren't switched on,
I did not see clearly.
I only recall Mr. Qiao...
inviting Chief Jiang to play mahjong.
Chief Jiang won't listen,
and insisted that there was someone inside the house.
He searched everywhere...
and even pulled the curtains apart.
But he did not find anyone.
Mr. Qiao said that Chief Jiang was drunk.
So, I quickly sent him away.
You may leave.
Chief Jiang was indeed drunk.
He went to your study to read books in the middle of the night.
And specifically wanted to read English books.
I do not know English.
I entered the study because I saw my sister-in-law.
I wanted to talk to her and so, I followed her and entered the study.
Send some men to follow...
Chief Chu and...
Chief Jiang these two days.
Moreover,
you have to personally follow...
Qiao Zhi Cai and his wife,
especially Huang Li Wen.
Noted.
Go then.
What happened?
Qiao Zhi Cai,
although...
you're not one of us,
but I'll remember...
your quick wit...
and your bravery...
tonight.
My organisation won't forget as well.
I did not do anything.
The most interesting part today is when...
you kissed me.
This...
I... I meant that...
When you kissed me, it's...
to...
let eveyone there...
to totally...
I'm grateful that you trust me.
But,
during the ceremony,
how did you know it's me?
Was it really because of my chin?
I... I llied to them.
Then what is it?
The ladies who joined the banquet...
have smooth skin...
and take great care of themselves.
But your hands, look,
your hands already have calluses after working with cameras every day.
Is there any?
You lied to me.
When did I lie to you?
There's none.
Actually, it was because your hands were sweating...
when I held your hands.
They even shook a bit.
I was able to guess from that.
Is it considered telepathic?
Go,
let's go!
Follow the car in front.
Hurry!
You have to be careful.
Quickly leave.
Let's go.
(Da Fu Chang Hotel)
Chief,
Huang Li Wen and Qiao Zhi Cai have left their house.
They separated halfway though.
Shu Yi Ming follows Huang Li Wen.
While I follow Qiao Zhi Cai.
Just now, Qiao Zhi Cai entered Master Six's residence.
(Shang Mei Photography)
Boss.
Miss,
do you want to take a photo?
I want to ask you,
how much do you charge to develop films?
Then have to look at the kinds of films you want to develop.
The prices are on the wall.
Can I borrow your dark room to develop my own films?
I'm a press photographer from Shen Bao.
There're some pictures I want to develop by myself...
as I know the kind of effects I want.
I'm fine with any prices.
I can even pay you double the rate.
This...
Miss,
there are many things in my dark room.
Tell me,
if you spoil anything,
what should I do?
Then you don't need to worry.
I don't only develop pictures once or twice.
If not because the press company wants pictures urgently,
I'll not come and trouble you.
This...
Please help me, Boss.
Alright then.
Then please follow me inside.
Thank you.
Come in then.
Look, this is it.
Then you may do what you want.
Oh,
if you don't know anything,
just call me.
I'll be outside.
Thank you, Boss.
Alright.
What are you doing?
Don't move, don't move!
Don't touch my things!
Return to me!
Your innocent face expression now...
is the same as yesterday night.
To be able to steal such an important thing...
from Master Six's residence,
you certainly haven't disappointed your organisation.
I don't understand what you're saying.
At Master Six's residence,
I was his guest.
I was helping him to do things.
I suggest you to stop being stubborn.
Only then you'll lessen your sufferings.
Chu,
you'd better put down the thing.
I advise you...
not to annoy me.
I'm Master Six's assistant.
I did not find your fault for...
accussing me yesterday.
Now, you'd even want to bring me away.
Are you looking down on Master Six?
If you put down the thing now,
I can pretend that nothing has happened.
Really?
Actually, I'm interested.
Qiao Zhi Cai and you often go in...
and out of Master Six's residence.
What are you two helping him with actually?
If you want to know,
go and ask Master Six.
I have methods to make you speak.
Bring her to the warehouse at the jetty first.
Don't let anyone know about this.
-Bring her away. -Wait!
Zhi Cai,
you are doing a great job with the accounts.
But I am thinking, Zhi Cai.
There are dozens...
of companies here,
they have dozens of accounts.
It would be troublesome...
if I investigate.
Are you considering to...
prepare a summary?
Sure, actually we're currently doing it.
Master Six,
things have happened as you said.
They are now waiting there.
Li Wen!
Why are you here?
Chief Chu,
what is going on?
What do you meant by what is going on?
I think your face expression...
is even more innocent than hers.
Chief Chu,
what is going on?
Master Six,
I have already said at yesterday's banquet.
Huang Li Wen's background is unknown.
Her actions are suspiscious.
And even has strong relationship...
with Communist Party.
Now, I suspect she approached you to...
take pictures of important documents...
illegally in Mao's Mansion.
Although I did not get...
any evidence last night,
but I have managed...
to catch her...
when she was developing pictures today.
Master Six, I'm innocent.
Chief Chu,
you keep saying that I took photos of important documents.
What secrets have I took photo of?
All of those are my family's pictures.
Master Six,
please investigate for me.
Master Six.
Family pictures?
Then tell me,
why did you go to...
a photography studio so far away from home...
and in isolated location?
Why did you need to pay double the rate to the owner?
Why did you want to develop the films by yourself?
Can you answer?
The answer is here.
We will know the truth once the pictures are developed.
Shu Yi Ming, develop the films.
Please wait!
Chief Chu,
you said my wife has stolen the secret documents.
Master Six,
I know each of Li Wen's...
actions.
If there's any wrong,
I'll be responsible.
Last night,
what happened with Chief Chu and Chief Jiang,
we can let it go...
and take it as a joke.
But today, this is a huge matter.
Master Six,
you have to help us.
A-Peng.
It's alright.
Master Six,
the pictures are developed.
What is it, Chief Chu?
This is what you call...
the secrets?
Peng Wang Li, how many pictures have you developed in total?
Master Six, this is impossible.
Go and wait for me in the office.
Master Six, I think that this matter...
Go back!
Master Six,
Master Six, I'm wrong.
Originally, I told Li Wen to...
make a summary of all the accounts.
So that you'll not be troubled.
She wanted me to inform you first.
I'm worried that you're busy,
so I didn't inform you.
And let her do it.
Li Wen is attentive and experienced.
She used to take pictures...
of accounts in...
companies and businesses.
Keeping the films...
for safety reasons,
the second is for convenience.
Just that we never thought that this would happen today.
It's our fault for not planning well.
We have created troubles for you.
There's no trouble actually.
But your wife was wronged.
The account summary is good...
and very detailed.
She is afraid that I'll be clumsy...
and purposely made such...
specific arrangements.
I'm grateful to both of you.
I hope you two don't be upset...
with what Chief Jiang did just now.
I trust both of you.
Not just now,
but also in the future,
I hope both of you will...
be my most capable assistant.
After what had happened just now,
I believe both of you are tired now.
Do have some good rest.
We will go to Xin Mei Long in the evening...
and has a nice meal.
Alright.
Thank you, Master Six.
You acted so well.
What are you doing?
I was very nervous.
What if my acting was discovered?
Haven't I told you?
We had to teach Chief Chu a lesson.
Do you trust me?
I trust you.
Chief Chu questioned Huang Li Wen persistently...
about what she's doing for you in the mansion.
But Huang Li Wen did not say a single word.
She just insisted to meet you.
Chief Chu wouldn't listen to her...
and insisted to bring her to the warehouse near the port.
I was afraid that the whole situation will be out of control,
so I brought everyone here...
for you to take care of it.
Master Six, he's here.
Master Six,
I was too careless with the films incident.
I have disappointed you.
But you must be careful regarding...
Huang Li Wen and Qiao Zhi Cai.
I have spied on these two people...
for quite some time.
They have too many questionable actions.
You must never ask them to help you in important matters,
and must not easily trust them.
If not, there will be terrible consequences.
That's enough.
Master Six,
then please think about it carefully.
Assuming that it's only family pictures...
as they have said,
Why was there such a huge twist in the incident,
and why would they act out in such a way for you?
There're some things that I shouldn't say.
But if you continue to be...
cheated by them,
it'll be too late to worry at the end.
That's enough.
You've been doing things under the guise of...
being anti-Communist.
You're the only who knows...
what you yourself really want to do!
Prepare a document stating...
that no one can approach Qiao Zhi Cai and Huang Li Wen...
without my permission.
And no one can...
spy on them without receiving any order.
The budget for Operation Department will be cut by 50%.
All the equipments are to...
be redistributed.
If there's a large operation,
it cannot proceed...
without my orders.
Master Six!
Head of Council,
I'm only carrying out my duty,
and I don't have other intention.
I've not done anything wrong...
to the country and political party...
and nor to you either.
Leave then.
(Zhenning Village)
(Hu Zhang Dry Cleaning Shop)
What are you doing?
Bring him away and confiscate the things.
Noted.
Hurry and leave!
Boss.
Boss, what are you doing? Boss?
It's not that.
Bosses, can we not talk nicely?
Put down the gun, put down the gun.
Boss,
you have not paid me for my work.
This money should not be owed.
Moreover...
What kind of information did you give us,
you useless traitor?
Are you helping your sister-in-law to fool us?
I didn't fool, no!
Boss!
No, brother, don't hit so hard!
A-San,
remember to put things back in their place...
when you come into my room next time.
No.
What is it?
Wu,
this is the copy of namelist Huang Li Wen...
took from Mao's Mansion.
She didn't just obtain the copy of namelist.
She even manipulated Master Six...
to stop the Secret Service from...
spying me.
Basically this is killing two birds with one stone.
Huang Li Wen has improved a lot.
She is really the wife of Xiao Guang.
If Xiao Guang didn't die,
both of them will be...
The tragic case of...
32, Hefei Road...
is still being investigated.
We must find out the truth...
as it involved the deaths of many comrades.
This namelist...
is the main secret of the Secret Service.
With it,
we can finally take the first step.
There are spies...
around Xiao Ying Zhen.
And there are actually two of them.
Brother's wife and the nanny.
What about Qiao Li Jie?
Qiao Li Jie...
there's no one stated for Qiao Li Jie's family.
Could it be that there's...
other secret agent around Qiao Li Jie?
They won't be so sloppy around Qiao Li Jie.
I think that...
there's a special agent well hidden around Qiao Li Jie.
The level of secrecy...
for the secret agent's identiy is even higher than this namelist.
I will do my best to have Qiao Li Jie...
to support our work.
That's enough, both of you don't need to send me anymore.
Do take care.
Listen to my advice.
We can no longer stay...
in the country under this circumstances.
Both of you must find ways...
to leave as soon as possible.
Professor He,
I want to leave too.
But there's no other place for...
the research unit.
I've asked friends in Paris and Berlin.
There's no much job...
available there.
There're even less job openings in USA.
The universities in Massachusetts and California...
won't even hire anyone.
Professor He,
help us to look for opportunities...
once you're in Hong Kong.
Don't worry, I'll remember.
Look at him.
He's so capable.
Deputy Mayor Chen asks about him every day.
I heard that...
if he agrees,
the research insittute will be...
led by him.
If I knew it'd be like this,
I would have learn physics too.
It's useless to study physics.
You should learn nuclear physics.
Hello.
Please hold on one second, he's here.
Qiao Li Jie.
Someone's caling for you.
He said he's from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Professor Steinbeck.
Yes, professor.
You're in Shanghai?
Professor.
Good to see you here, Qiao.
Please sit down.
I've ordered you a cup of coffee as well.
Thanks.
Why are you in Shanghai?
I wanted to see some friends and students.
And of course you.
Okay.
How have you been, Qiao?
I'm fine, thanks.
Okay, how about you?
Same old thing.
I work very hard every day...
from dusk to dawn in the laboratory.
And we have another two...
colliders.
You know, I just miss the...
accelerators there.
Are you telling me...
that you do not have accelerators here?
Yes, but not that good.
Qiao,
you're wasting your life.
You should spend you energy...
working in a highly efficient working environment.
Qiao,
come back with me,
to our institute,
come back to Boston.
I even think you can win...
the Nobel Prize in the future.
You can work much better there.
Professor,
I didn't expect this.
Right now, the...
Nationalist Party and the Communist Party are at war.
The both parties...
want you.
And they will do everything...
to take advantage of your work.
Under these circumstances,
it's not possible...
to protect your rights.
Qiao,
come back with me...
to the Land of the Free.
Professor,
I'll think about it.
I hope you make the right decision.
This morning, a special person came to Shanghai.
He is Qiao Li Jie's...
teacher in USA,
Professor Steinbeck.
He contacted Qiao Li Jie and met him...
the moment he's here.
Although the entire itinerary is public,
but I think that...
Qiao Li Jie is an important character.
We have to take precautionary steps...
regarding this professor from USA.
You're right.
This professor from USA...
chooses to come to Shanghai...
at this moment...
to meet with Qiao Li Jie.
First of all,
we need to determine his real intention.
Alright, I'll start investigating.
Professor Steinbeck...
is my teacher back in USA.
He has given me a lot of sound advices.
This time, he suggested that I...
return to USA.
I've give it a serious consideration.
There're pros and cons.
The pros include...
the fact that his laboratory...
is ranked second in the whole of USA.
If I return,
I can focus on...
my experiments and research.
The cons is...
there's difference with my previous study there.
There were dates for returning here.
If so,
I'll not be able to carry out my responsibility in the family.
I can't take care of mum...
like how big brother and second big brother are doing.
And there's more.
Professor Steinbeck reminds me...
that the war is complicated.
For researchers like me,
we will easily lose our personal rights.
There's no such...
danger in USA.
Moreover, he'll arrange for people...
to help me to leave Shanghai successfully.
The issue raised by Li Jie today...
is very important.
No one is to spread...
this outside.
Li Jie,
do you want to listen...
to our opinions?
Let me say what I think of this.
I'm satisfied that...
you'd think of me...
and want to take care of me.
But I know that...
experiments on physics...
are the most important to you.
I support your decision to go to USA.
You can go there without worries.
You can only achieve your dreams...
in USA.
Li Jie, you may not come back...
after you leave.
I'm sad to part with you.
But USA is better.
Since you can go, just go for it.
Li Jie,
you can go and further your career in USA.
Don't worry about the family.
Li Wen and I are here.
Brother and sister-in-law are also around.
Don't worry,
I think that...
Li Jie has to consider some things...
other than career prospects and responsibility to family.
What is it?
I'm not good at talking.
It's just a suggestion.
Please say it.
If it's only for working in a top notch research laboratory,
then after graduating, one can continue to stay in USA.
There's no need to come back.
Thta's why Li Jie must have wanted to...
gain knowledge to contribute to the country.
Am I right?
As what Professor Steinback has said,
the current situation is complicated.
But if you look at this from another situation,
it doesn't matter who win in the end,
Li Jie will still be the much-needed...
scientific research personnel.
If USA can provide benefits to Li Jie,
why can't our country do the same thing?
Enough, that's enough.
You talked a lot.
Li Jie,
your sister-in-law has been reading newspapers every day.
She always discusses with me the issues regarding our country.
On how our country...
is related to us, the normal citizens.
You...
must go to USA.
Do what you want to do.
Don't worry.
But I agreed...
with what Li Wen has said.
Currently, our country's...
level of physical research...
is still lacking a lot behind USA.
Researchers like me...
should consider to contribute all my strengths...
to reduce the gap.
Li Jie,
then are you going to USA...
or not?
I'm not going.
Why?
Why did Li Jie...
obey your words?
Because what I've said is true.
When has he agreed with anyone's opinion...
since young?
I also wanted to ask you,
why did Li Na always listen to you now?
Since you helped her to think of...
Get up.
Help her to think of using brother and sister...
to soothe Master Six.
She is listening well to you now.
She keeps on saying,
please help me to ask brother-in-law's opinion.
She won't listen to me anymore.
Why,
can't I have some strengths?
I do not have any other strengths.
But I am still known as...
the wisdom of lights.
I have read this document...
many times.
I've been thinking whether...
to sign it or not.
Actually,
it's difficult for me to stay in Qiao family.
I've wanted to leave so many times...
and have even scolded you.
But,
although you've never married before,
you've played your role as a...
husband well.
You've taken care of my feelings,
and even treated my family well.
You even supported my...
tasks unconditionally.
From a rational point of view,
I know that I shouldn't involve you in this.
But from an emotional perspective,
I think that...
no one else will help me...
like how you're doing.
Qiao Zhi Cai,
can I be selfish this time...
and don't divorce?
Then,
don't divorce.
But,
if I'm with you,
will I affect you from seeing other people?
Why are you worrying?
If I love another woman,
I'll leave you immediately.
It's useless to hug me and stop me then.
You keep this.
Put inside the drawer then.
This.
Where is it?
-Over here. -Seach thoroughly.
Hurry!
Alright, is it upstairs?
Search over there, search over there.
It seems to be over there, go.
Right, let's search over there.
-Search it. -Search over here.
Here, here.
Qiao Zhi Cai.
Hurry, hurry.
Qiao Zhi Cai.
Where is it?
Qiao Zhi Cai,
wake up.
Why?
Do you hear anything from outside?
-Have you seen it? -Over here, over here.
It must be my mum who's searching for things.
It's alright, go to sleep.
Follow here.
Where is it?
It's over there, A-San.
Inside the room.
Inside the room, where is it?
-Where is it? -The mouse is here.
Yes, that's the one.
Mom,
big brother.
What is it? It's the middle of the night.
Mom's jade ring...
has been taken by the mouse.
So we're searching around the house.
Then it slipped into this room.
So,
we rushed in without knocking on the door.
Where is it?
Why I did not see it enter?
Both of you are...
That...
I'm the one...
I'm sorry, mum.
I'm... I'm the one who asks Qiao Zhi Cai...
to sleep on the floor.
We quarreled a bit last night.
So I didn't let him sleep on the bed.
I'm sorry.
Mom, this is nothing.
It's our own...
problem.
The one's starting the quarrel has to sleep on the floor.
I don't want to interfere...
with what you two did behind the closed door.
But do you know what's the weather like nowadays?
The floor is very cold.
You'd let my son sleep on the floor.
What if he catches a cold?
Let me tell you,
our family...
depends on my son.
Mom, look,
the blanket is very thick.
I'm even sweating when sleeping with it.
No wonder the blanket looks familiar.
Li Wen is very hardworking.
She always brings out...
the blanket to...
be aired under the sun.
I understand.
I wonder why there's been no news recently.
Li Wen, don't tell us you've been asking Zhi Cai...
to sleep on the floor all this while?
Is it your problem?
Huang Li Wen,
what is going on?
Why did he sleep on the floor?
Mom.
Mom, mom.
Do not be upset.
Li Wen is pregnant.
She's pregnant?
She thought that it's just...
irregular menstruation previously.
So we went to find Doctor Tang.
Doctor Tang told us she's pregnant.
He even said that...
Li Wen's body is weak.
We have to be careful when sleeping together.
We have to take precautions.
The bed is small.
Both of use have to squeeze together.
Thus, we just sleep on the floor.
Why did you not say anything...
about the pregnancy?
Why is it so fast?
It's mainly because I've slept with her since the beginning.
She has been pregnant for some time.
If this news is spread around,
the neighbours will know...
when the pregnancy starts.
Our family's pride will be affected.
So, after a lot of consideration,
I dare not tell you yet.
You!
But you're grandmother now.
