(Lost in 1949)
Is it because you felt that...
everyone else...
is engaged in sending Li Jie off,
and neglected you.
So you are unhappy?
Brother,
I am in love with Li Wen.
You always say that,
mother is biased to Li Jie.
And she is not fond of you.
I think it is not true.
Mothers never stop worrying, when her child is far from home.
He is going to the US soon.
A faraway place.
Mother is definitely worried about him.
Let's suppose we didn't have the fake marriage.
Then Li Jie was pursuing you.
Would you love him?
How can you think of something so ridiculous?
I care about Li Jie.
But I don't have any...
other romantic feeling for him.
Will you love him...
if he goes after you?
It‘s late. Let's stop with this...
nonsense, shall we?
Will you love him?
Li Jie is a famous physicist.
Why would he go after me?
We are not from the same world.
So you are saying...
You will love him.
You are just worried he may not like you.
Right?
I don't want to go on with it.
Good night.
What's wrong with you?
Qiao Li Jie decides to go back to the States.
And he will set off tomorrow night.
I asked why he changed his mind.
You know what he replied?
He said he fell in love with someone.
I was quite confused....
with this situation.
So I can only inform you of all his reply.
Fall in love?
I can‘t believe these are his words.
I asked him...
Who is the one he loves?
But he refused to tell me.
I also asked Qiao Zhi Cai.
He didn't know it either.
I think falling in love...
is just an excuse...
from Professor Steinbeck.
Excuse?
Professor Steinbeck is not just a professor.
He is quite dangerous.
He is a senior spy...
from American military.
He came to instigate Qiao Li Jie to go back to the US...
after some careful preparations.
If Qiao Li Jie listens to him,
and goes back to the US,
the consequences will be out of control.
This is not merely...
an individual's choice.
It will trigger conflicts...
of nations' interests.
I... I will talk to him later.
Hold on.
I don't think you should talk to him about that.
For our solidarity work,
your identity as his sister-in-law,
is of great significance.
It's not time to show your political position.
Besides,
this is such a tough issue.
It will affect Qiao Jie Li's attitude towards...
his professor,
and his past overseas study experience.
Well,
what can I do then?
Where is Qiao Li Jie working recently?﻿
The cafe or the research institute?
The cafe.
He will be working there tomorrow.
He said Professor Steinbeck...
will send someone to pick him up from the cafe...
then take him to the airport.
Very good.
This is very important.
Tell Qiao Li Jie.
Tomorrow, at 1.30p.m.,
I will meet him at the cafe,
for some very important things.
Okay.
(Zhenning Village)
Tomorrow, at 1.30p.m. ,
Doctor Tang...
will be waiting for you at Mulai Cafe...
for something really important.
Mom.
Li Jie.
I can't send you off to the airport.
Then I can only...
see you off here with everyone.
Mom.
After I've settled down in Massachusetts,
I will invite you there.
You said you wanted to see my school....
and the labs.
I will realize your dream.
Li Jie.
When you are in the US,
take good care of yourself.
Otherwise, I will worry about you all the time.
Go.
Brother.
Li Jie.
Take care.
Brother, take care.
Sister-in-law, take care.
Take care.
﻿Don't forget, 1.30p.m. .
Be careful.
Zhi Cai.
Take good care of sister-in-law.
I am leaving.
Li Jie.
Brotherhood.
Remember to come back early today.
You have my words.
Ping Ying.
Don't forget what date it is today.
I won't.
Da Xu.
Mr. Tang.
There you go.
Okay.
Don't go to Dumei Road.
Go to East Linsen Road.
(Mulai Cafe)
You both wait here.
Watch out for any suspicious people.
And vehicles.
Okay. Let's go.
(Mulai Cafe)
One coffee, please.
Doctor Tang.
Please go with me.
There is a patient in my home.
You are asking me for help.
I don't think this is a polite way.
Go with me.
Please.
Sir.
I don't have much time.
Where is the patient?
You two invited me here.
But you are so rude and arrogant.
Show no respect for the practitioner.
Bye.
At 1.30 p.m. tomorrow.
Doctor Tang.
He'll wait for you at Mulai Cafe.
(Mulai Cafe)
Doctor Tang.
When I get the information I want,
I will let you go.
I only have several questions for you.
They won't waste your time.
I hope you don't waste my time.
Sir, please go on.
I heard you studied medicine in the US.
You seem to be quite authoritative.
I am not that authoritative.
I just finished my six-year study at Harvard Medical School.
You worked as a doctor in the US.
Why would you come to Shanghai?
I opened my own clinic.
It is all because...
my senior fellow student called Lu Fang An.
He persuaded me to come back.
Lu Fang An.
Do you refer to Minister Lu of the department of national defense,
the leading figure in Suppression of the Communist?
He is my countryman.
And he is also my classmate.
His wife is also a high risk parturient.
She is my first parturient,
after I set up my own clinic.
Sir.
I don't want to waste my time in...
telling you my past experience.
Time is precious.
Please let me see the patient.
There is no patient.
Today, we invite you here,
to talk about...
Huang Li Wen's pregnancy.
Come in.
Li Wen,
why are you here?
Hasn't Doctor Tang come back yet?
Maybe he has many patients today.
Why not sitting here to wait for him?
Such a splendid dinner!
Not worth mentioning.
In fact,
today is our wedding anniversary.
He spent a long time in the US.
He loves Western food.
So,
I made some big dishes today.
You are devoted to each other.
We got married for a long time.
Have some fruits?
No, thank you.
I am here to ask Doctor Tang something.
Nothing else.
I'd better go now.
Sorry to disturb you.
Fine.
Let me walk you out.
I'll tell him when he comes back.
-Thanks. -Good bye.
Bye.
Sir, I think you've been wasting my time.
Since I enter into this room,
you have been asking about my personal qualifications.
At first, I thought...
you might do this for the patient.
So, I answered in details.
But you told me...
there was no patient at all.
And you ask about...
the situation of other pregnant women.
Sorry, sir.
I never know you before.
But I don't want to make dealings with you.
Doctor Tang, please look properly.
This is the pass from the Secret Service.
We are the staffs form the Secret Service.
Please cooperate with our work.
I see.
It was a misunderstanding.
Sorry.
But according to the confidentiality...
of the doctors,
without the consent of the patient,
I can't disclose the medical information to anyone else.
This is the oath of every doctor.
I hope you can understand.
I like to make dealings with someone...
who has principles and beliefs.
But,
I need to remind you.
We are in the critical times.
All the principles should not...
be higher than the interests of the Party and the country.
I also need to remind you that...
Huang Li Wen is not an ordinary pregnant woman.
She has the suspicion in working with the Communist,
endangering the security of the party and the country.
Really?
How long has Huang Li Wen been pregnant?
Sir.
Is this related to the security of the party and country?
I can judge it myself.
The deduction of pregnancy can be in known in several ways.
Huang Li Wen's body temperature is still high.
Generally speaking,
this symptom is shown in 16 weeks of pregnancy.
16 weeks.
4 months.
Sir.
I'm talking about 16 weeks in the pregnancy.
What do you mean?
Her current fetal movement is still not obvious.
It can be 7 weeks to 8 weeks of pregnancy.
The embryo has mild wave motion.
It can also be a small twitch around 9 weeks of pregnancy.
It can also be a moderate twitch after 9 weeks.
-Okay, enough. -It can also be...
I can't understand a single word.
I am not interested at all.
Stop talking in roundabout way, Doctor Tang.
I want an accurate number.
How many weeks has Huang Li Wen been pregnant?
Sir, there is no answer for your question.
To know pregnancy by the naked eye,
is just as ridiculous as,
to know the gender of the fetus by the naked eye.
Moreover, currently, domestic pregnant women...
pay no attention to the expected date of childbirth.
When water breaks,
they then go to find a midwife in a hurry.
As a doctor,
I never guess for no reason,
the expected date of childbirth.
If Huang Li Wen‘s date of pregnancy,
is of great importance to you, sir,
then, I can only...
do the testing when check her next time.
And I can see those indicators,
and give you the accurate diagnosis.
Today,
I can only put forward this plan.
Okay.
Thank you, Doctor Tang.
But,
I need to get the result by the end of the week.
Got it.
Wait.
You seem to have a nice box.
It must be very expensive.
Not expensive at all.
I customized it in the US.
I have been using it for many years.
Really?
Judging from the workmanship,
the hardware and the leather, it seems to be fastidious.
Would you mind my looking at it?
Of course not.
There you go.
Sir.
You are not feeling quite well right?
I see your eyes are dark.
Your lips are purple.
Your cardio-pulmonary function is not that good.
You can tell it from merely a look?
If you don't mind,
please sit here.
Let me feel the pulse for you.
Didn't you study gynecology in the US?
You also knew traditional Chinese medicine?
Cardiopulmonary exercise is the basic course.
It has no direct connection with...
andrology, gynecology and pediatric department.
Besides, before I went abroad,
I also had a little mastery of traditional Chinese medicine.
You seem to have irregular heartbeats.
Are you nervous?
If you are nervous,
you can close your eyes.
Your stomach is not very comfortable, right?
No.
I mean here.
Sit still.
Breathe normally. You will feel better.
This is the acupoint.
Are you feeling better?
Yes, a little bit.
How about here?
A little bit hurt.
Breathe.
You will feel better.
Stand still.
From tomorrow,
if I am out,
and not coming back at the appointed time,
wait for me for no more than 2 hours.
After that,
go back to your hometown.
Ping Ying,
don't forget what date it is today.
I won't.
Babe Ruth.
Mr. Qiao.
I'm a friend of Professor Steinbeck.
He has arranged me to pick you up.
Shall we?
Okay.
Let's go.
I lost contact with Si Nan.
What?
We missed the latest meeting time.
I sent him several emergency signals,
with no reply.
Time waits for no man.
Inform Sui Liang.
Implement Plan B immediately.
The flight flies to the North, lands in Zhengzhou.
Yes, sir.
Hey, brother.
Our dove won't come back today.
It shall fly to the north in the nest.
I think so.
Madam, Mrs.Tang is here for you.
Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Tang.
Gui Fen.
Make a good Longjing tea for her.
-Yes, Madam. -No, thanks. Mrs. Tang.
I only stay for a while.
Take a seat please.
Mrs. Qiao.
To be honest,
I am saying goodbye to you today.
Where are you going?
Ping Ying and I are moving to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong.
You've been so secretive.
I never heard about that before.
Sorry for that.
You know.
Now, it is really hard for us...
to buy train tickets to Guangzhou.
It‘s not easy for Ping Ying to get two of them.
So we have to travel in the nights.
Besides,
if everyone knows we are leaving,
I am afraid that many pregnant women...
are coming to him to deliver the baby?
How can we leave at that time?
Right?
Yes.
Mrs. Qiao, where is Li Wen?
I ask Ping Ying to pick up some tonics.
And I want to give them to her.
You are so sweet.
Li Wen.
Mom.
Mrs. Tang.
Li Wen. Mrs. Tang is here.
They are moving to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong?
Yes, Mrs. Qiao.
Ping Ying said,
he may not have time for your testing report.
Mrs. Qiao.
We feel so sorry about that.
You are being too polite.
You and Doctor Tang...
care for me all the time.
You guys were too nice to me.
Would you mind going up stairs?
Okay.
Yeah, you can go upstairs.
Enjoy.
What's wrong, Mrs. Tang?
Ping Ying.
Something bad must have happened to him.
Well, how do you know?
Every time he went out,
he would tell me that...
if he didn't come back at the appointed time,
he asked me to move to another place.
He hasn't come back until now.
Something must have happened!
In the past,
I had been always on tenterhooks.
I had been worrying about him.
But I never...
persuaded him before.
Because I know,
he has his beliefs and dreams.
I could't help with that.
I could only support him.
Every time he arranged the way for me.
I felt really upset.
I was thinking,
he was so considerate and...
so cautious.
Nothing will happen to him.
But today...
Li Wen.
I admire you.
You are so brave.
I can never be as brave as you.
I dare not to stay...
to finish his unfinished cause.
I'm really ashamed.
Mrs. Tang.
You, you...
Don't say these words.
Listen to me.
From now on,
You must pay more attention to safety.
You must be extremely careful, ok?
Well,
how about you?
You don't need to worry about me.
After I am back to my hometown in Guangdong,
I will be safe.
Don't worry.
Li Wen.
I believe that...
as long as there are people like you and Ping Ying,
his sacrifice is meaningful.
His dream will be realized.
Right?
I have to go.
Take care.
Doctor Tang.
He is your comrade.
Qiao Zhi Cai.
I have something...
But I don't know if I shall tell you or not.
But,
Li Jie,
is in big trouble now.
I, I have to go and find him.
Li Jie?
Well,
Professor Steinbeck.
He is a secret service sent by the American military.
He has some other purposes to ask Li Jie to go to the US.
We got this information just now.
Doctor Tang intended to...
go to the cafe to talk about it with Li Jie.
However,
Mrs. Tang told me...
something bad happened to Doctor Tang.
I don't know whether Doctor Tang...
talked to him or not.
-But if not... -I will go with you.
He is my younger brother.
I have to go.
Okay.
Mo Gen.
Our third son.
He is going to the US.
Please bless him.
Bless him with safety.
Mom.
You are going out now?
Yes, she is hungry.
I am sorry.
I suddenly want to eat small wontons.
Don't apologize for that.
It is very common for pregnant woman.
Don't be back too late.
Good night, Mom.
I know. Don't stay too late.
Do you know someone...
who looks exactly like me?
Has he been here today?
-Looks exactly like you? -Yes.
He has been here.
He often sits there.
Oh, today...
he left with someone.
Who?
I don't know about that.
It seemed to be a foreigner.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
The Americans must have taken Li Jie to the airport.
Let's go to the airport.
When we arrive at the airport,
he might be on his flight already.
We don't have a car.
Well, then,
What shall we do?
I will go to my Party.
But with Doctor Tang's situation,
I can't find the party in the future.
Li Wen, I don't understand.
The American values...
Li Jie.
Your party also values him that much.
I thought he is merely...
an ordinary physicist.
He is not an ordinary physicist.
He studied nuclear physics.
It has significant meaning for the development of...
medicine, electric powers and weapons,
in the coming decades.
No wonder the mayor...
invited him to dinner everyday.
The deputy mayor came to us everyday.
That professor...
asked Li Jie to leave without letting others know.
Is that because he worries our government won't let Li Jie leave?
Don't worry.
I will try.
Maybe there is someone to help us.
Who?
Hello.
This is Qiao Zhi Cai speaking.
I want to speak to Master Six.
Please hold on.
Master Six.
Qiao Zhi Cai is calling for you.
Brother Qiao.
Master Six.
This is Qiao Zhi Cai.
I hope I am not disturbing you right now.
I have an emergency.
I want to confirm one thing.
Last time when we were having dinner,
you said you have a nice watch,
but the mechanism was broke down.
I remember your words.
I asked around in the black market.
Nobody was selling it.
But it struck me that...
my younger brother is going to the US.
His professor is a mechanical fan, too.
So I am wondering...
maybe I can ask my younger brother...
to ask his professor,
to find a good watch mechanism.
And send it back to you.
I am calling to confirm...
whether your pocket watch...
is a minute repeater or not.
Well, let me check.
