(Lost in 1949)
-Comrade Xiang Mu. -Comrade Wu.
The organisation has transferred you to us now...
and has indeed given us some reassurance.
At the secret service,
I've read comrade Si Nan's file...
on how he sacrificed himself.
In there, comrade Si Nan's fatal wound...
was caused by a 11.43 millimetre caliber bullet.
But Chief Chu's...
and his people's guns...
are all using...
an ordinary 9 millimetre caliber bullet.
What's weird is that,
regarding comrade Si Nan's case,
no investigation is being conducted...
within the secret service.
There's definitely a secret...
hidden behind this case.
I suspect,
that the arsonist is the murderer.
That person was there for the Homecoming Operation.
In this case,
I'll go to the secret service,
to confirm which special agents...
in the undercover operation...
are using a 11.43 millimetre caliber pistol.
Let's lock down the target before discussing further.
This special agent is sinister,
he's unlike the usual,
you'll have to be extra careful.
Understood.
-I'll be going now. -Okay.
Being tipsy...
is good for relieving tension.
Drink.
It's good stuff, don't waste it.
Drink another sip.
I want to tell you...
Li Jie...
I really...
Li Jie!
I wanted you to be tipsy,
not for you to be drunk.
Li Wen,
do you have time tomorrow afternoon?
I've something to tell you.
Okay, let's meet here tomorrow.
We need to build a new country,
not like the one we have right now, full of exploitation and oppression.
We need more scientist like you all...
to join you all...
to join us.
Without people like you,
our ideals will be nothing but a foggy dream.
Li Jie,
we will respect your ideals,
create conditions for you,
help you with your research.
Li Wen.
Gui Fen just went out,
there's some time now,
you can tell me about it.
Li Jie.
I'd like to...
have a good chat with you.
You and Zhi Cai...
I already know about the fake marriage.
It's Zhi Cai who couldn't resist therefore had to tell me.
But don't worry,
I won't tell anyone,
you can trust me.
But Li Wen, I want to ask you...
Zhi Cai and you have been married for so long...
Do you have any feelings...
for him?
Even if it's a little.
To say...
To say not even a little,
that's not possible.
Your brother is very smart...
and he likes to make jokes.
Although he looks like he is horribly unreliable,
but in my heart...
In my heart, he's the one I count on.
The most intelligent and brave person.
All these,
I am always too embarrassed to tell him.
I feel that right now,
he is more like my family.
Just like how my mother...
and my sister are close to me.
But...
But, what?
Li Wen, but, what?
But...
Mr. Qiao,
Professor Qiao,
we are old friends, right?
This is an order.
Please attend the experts forum.
I... I'm not.
What are you not?
I...
am not considered to be your old friend.
Besides, right now,
I'm doing researches.
Therefore, I can't leave.
This is not up to you to decide, Mr Qiao.
We have to go right now.
Wait.
Master Six from secret service has instructed...
that Qiao Li Jie is not to step out of the Qiao house.
If he leaves,
he has to have Qiao Zhi Cai with him,
to guarantee his safety.
That's right.
Okay then, please ask the other Mr. Qiao to come out.
Don't delay us anymore.
Qiao Zhi Cai!
Looks like the other Mr. Qiao is not at home.
Let's go.
Since my husband is not at home,
I'll go with him instead.
Right now it's difficult to distinguish who is who.
Who knows? Maybe you are from the Communist.
I'll go with Li Jie.
Li...
Li Wen,
you can stay at home,
I'll be fine.
No way.
I'll go with you.
Who knows what they'll do to you.
Let's go then.
Li Jie!
We've all been waiting for you.
-Li Jie. -Hello, everyone.
You are here.
Hello, gentlemen.
This lady is?
Li Jie,
would you mind to introduce?
Huang Li Wen,
my brother's wife.
Hello.
Li Jie, these 2 are?
These 2 are experts in their respective fields.
Why don't you 2 introduce yourselves?
Gentlemen,
actually I know who you are.
You are the electric power expert Mr. Chu Hui.
This...
is the water conservancy expert, Mr Xu Ze Wen.
Please don't be surprised.
I always read the news at home.
Aren't you 2 regulars on the news?
-It's nothing. -It's nothing.
Li Jie.
His appearance is higher than ours.
I do work for water conservancy...
and he does work for electric power.
Both our developments...
all depends on Li Jie's research results.
That's right...
Li Jie,
I heard you talk about the possibility of nuclear power generation.
I was really excited.
This is definitely the direction of future developments.
That's why, when I went home...
I read a lot of information on it.
But I still have some questions...
that I'm unclear of.
Li Jie, you've said...
that uranium...
through nuclear reaction...
would produce a large amount of heat after fission.
How does it happen?
I'd like to understand it too.
How does it happen?
The experiment right now...
is at it's confidential stage.
I'll tell you all about it next time.
Excuse me.
Mr Chu Wei and I...
have asked a question that shouldn't be asked.
Please forgive us.
We will talk about it next time...
Li Jie,
I have to ask you...
yet another question that I shouldn't.
Excuse us,
let's speak over there.
Li Jie,
right now, north and south...
which direction do you prefer?
We all would like to refer to your...
-approach. -That's right.
Brother Xiao Ying Zhen,
we can see it clearly.
His attitude is very clear,
he is also brave.
Whatever he dares to do,
I'm afraid to even do any.
That's why I would like to hear your opinion.
Why is brother Xiao not here?
Everyone...
the meeting begins right away,
quickly be seated.
We'll talk later...
Okay.
-I'll go in first. -Speak to you later.
To all the experts present here,
I'll like to remind you all,
we must prevent the Communist party...
to contact, persuade and agitate all of you.
Because their persuasion...
are lies.
Communist party,
they use sweet talk on the surface...
to conceal themselves...
from the essence of radical riots.
To get these experts which they would die for...
they will abduct, persecute...
and even murder, to get them.
All these lowly means.
In view of this,
to protect the personal safety of the experts present,
we have to take emergency measures.
Therefore, right here,
with all the experts present,
we are to make 3 agreements.
Firstly,
please do not meet up privately.
Secondly,
please do not recruit new people.
Thirdly,
please do not leave Shanghai.
How can you do that?
If there are special requests,
please contact us immediately.
I repeat again,
Dang Guo will certainly protect...
all your personal safety.
We will not give the Communist...
any chances at all.
I hope that all the experts that are present here...
are well prepared.
We have already drawn up...
a safe transportation plan.
I will evacuate all the experts...
to a safe place in a few days.
I am against this practice!
Communist Party or not,
that's another thing.
If you do this to us,
do we still have human rights?
-I second that! - I second that too!
To stay at Shanghai or not, it is my rights.
How is this any different from prison?
That's ridiculous!
Who are you to do that?
I object!
Ridiculous!
I'll report you!
I'll sue you!
This is not right!
-This is ridiculous! -I second that!
Master Six.
How are you, Master Six?
It's rare that sister-in-law is accompanying Mr Qiao.
Where's Qiao Zhi Cai?
He went to buy some manuscript paper.
I asked him to go .
Mr Qiao,
this is our second meeting, right?
Please sit.
Mr Qiao,
I was very impressed...
when we met for the first time.
These days,
under our careful care.
I wonder if Mr. Qiao's perception has changed?
The last time we met, I offended you.
Please forgive me.
Regarding the meeting...
we just had about the 3 agreements,
what is your opinion?
Very reasonable.
I will fully cooperate.
Looks like Mr. Qiao...
has found new light.
Inspired by my second brother,
I've figured out a lot of things.
As the saying goes,
"A man who knows where his interest lies will succeed."
Presumably these days, sister-in-law...
has done some work on you as well.
The...
chats between the brothers...
have nothing to do with me.
That's right.
Understood.
You and your brother truly look too much alike.
He is my brother.
Browning 1903, 5 of it.
Two hundred rounds of bullets.
I don't like this...
9 millimetre caliber bullet.
Doesn't fire as good.
Chief Qin,
it is unlike your team here.
We rarely shoot here.
9 millilitres is enough.
More than enough, in fact.
So you say.
But I'm not used to it.
Chief Liu, why not...
you separately get me a...
M1911,
that's 11.43 mm caliber?
I can't do that for you.
Chief Liu,
it's only a small matter,
you need only to say the word.
Chief Qin,
M1911...
is specially distributed to senior agents.
It must be signed by Master Six.
Once it's filed, only then I can apply for the gun.
Chief Qin,
you and Master Six are quite close.
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Let's forget about it.
It's only a small matter...
I'd rather not trouble both Master Six and you.
If that's all, please sign here.
Okay.
Li Jie,
about the 3 agreements that Master Six mentioned.
Are you really willing to cooperate?
Why won't I cooperate?
But you hate being under house arrest.
All of them are going against it,
didn't you hear them?
Li Wen, why do you...
know so much about their academic background?
I just mentioned it.
I have seen these experts in the newspaper.
I'm unlike them.
As long as I can successfully complete my research...
and the government...
can provide me with good research conditions.
Why would I refuse?
How can you think about it like this?
That means...
aren't you returning to...
the world with only experiments?
In the real world,
everything is interlocked and connected.
A corrupted government...
will not let the people rejoice in your research outcomes.
Don't you yearn to serve our motherland?
Then you should care more about your choices!
Only a government that truly cares for the people...
will let the people rejoice in your research outcomes.
That means that you...
would wish that I choose the Communist Party?
I...
Li Wen,
whatever I said to Master Six...
was for self-preservation.
That's because Li Jie taught me...
not to confront the tough with toughness.
However,
I'll think about making the right choice...
about what you've just mentioned.
-Li Jie... -Right now,
I have a research inspiration.
I should record it right away.
Li Jie!
Zhi Cai...
Spectacles.
Zhi Cai, why are you dressed like that?
Look,
we are the same size.
When I was asleep,
you pretended to be me to go see Li Wen?
You doing that...
is really immoral.
Li Jie,
if I don't go meetup with Li Wen for you,
that's immoral.
Think about it, you already asked for the meetup...
but don't show up.
Li Wen would be waiting for you.
She'll then find out you ditched her because you got drunk.
Will your image in her mind...
be good then?
Besides, while you were asleep for the past few hours,
I've already helped you out with 3 things.
Firstly, attended an extremely shameless meeting.
Secondly, helped you handle Master Six nicely.
Thirdly, avoided your embarrassment with Li Wen...
when you can't speak with her.
I thought that Li Wen...
was closer to you than with me.
But I've found that that's not true.
By borrowing your mouth, I've asked her.
I know now that Li Wen is closer to me.
I can still give her happiness.
And that is what matters.
Therefore, I didn't lose.
I don't need to have a divorce.
Also, thank you for the clothes.
It helped Li Wen tell the truth.
Zhi Cai,
explain no more.
To find out what's on Li Wen's mind,
you deliberately pretended to be me.
What you did was cheating.
In accordance with the principle of competition,
the one who cheats...
should be notified for criticism.
Notified for criticism?
You can ask her yourself.
I will for sure.
Okay...
You can ask Li Wen yourself.
But...
how would you ask her?
The day of the forum,
I went with Li Jie to the meeting.
Master Six asked Li Jie about his opinions on it.
To avoid trouble, Li Jie...
said he would cooperate.
However, regarding him leaving or not.
He's still considering.
There is no clear intention yet.
Right now,
you must first pay attention...
to Qiao Li Jie's research progress.
Especially...
on the time he completes the experiment.
Once Qiao Li Jie completes his research,
it's very possible that he'll be forcibly sent off to Taiwan.
This means,
before Qiao Li Jie completes his research, we have to...
complete our mission, to get all his work...
and all Homecoming Operation's deployments.
Comrade Huang,
time is precious.
I understand.
Loosen up your hair.
Put your chin down a little.
Relax the corner of your mouth.
That's right, relax.
Relax your face, that's right.
What are you wearing?
Can't you just be more laid back?
You tied it too well, it's unlike me.
Why are you standing so straight?
Relax your shoulders.
Don't stand so straight, relax.
Relax.
Relax!
Do it like this,
put your weight on the left leg.
Relax.
I'm telling you clearly now.
After you go in,
ask your questions right away.
Ask about what she thinks of you,
then quickly come out.
The questions be as short as possible.
Don't talk too much!
Why can't I speak more?
When you speak,
does it sound like me?
Does the tone of our speech on a usual day sound the same?
I'm telling you again.
Qiao Li Jie,
If you give yourself away today,
we will both die horribly.
Relax.
Go.
Wait!
Spectacles.
Go.
Two...
Li Wen,
Qiao Zhi Cai, can we have a chat?
About the divorce,
I'm willing to.
In the past,
we had a few awkward moments.
Actually, you don't have to feel bad about it...
because...
even if you didn't ask for a divorce,
I would eventually mention it.
After all,
this is not a long-term solution. Right?
But right now,
I have a request.
That is...
do not go through with the...
divorce process immediately.
Please give me some more time.
Just a bit more.
Right now, I have to stay at Qiao house.
Is that okay?
Why?
For Li Jie.
For Li Jie?
Don't misunderstand this.
I really do not have any feelings for him.
But you just said...
it is for him.
I...
I am doing this for the organisation...
to stay at Qiao house to protect Li Jie.
Li Jie has been under house arrest by Master Six.
He will need to use you as a protective shield.
In future days,
he will be forced even more...
and he'll be left with no space to even breathe.
Also, Li Jie is unlike you.
When you are dealing with Master Six,
you know how to protect yourself...
and not let yourself get hurt.
It will become more and more dangerous in the future.
If Li Jie...
doesn't show that...
he supports the government.
The authorities will definitely...
threaten his personal safety.
That's why I need to stay at Qiao house.
Can you... understand this?
Brother.
Brother,
Li Wen is in the Communist Party.
What did Li Wen say to you?
She said that...
she has no feelings for me...
and wants to have a divorce with you.
What does that mean?
11.43 mm caliber...
Browning M1911...
is only given to senior agents.
Master Six decides on the user name list.
Today,
I found the equipment registry log...
in the Chief of equipment's office.
There's only one M1911.
Only 1 user...
but his name was not written there.
It was remarked in numbers,
which is number 64513.
I have never heard of this code.
I will continue to track down...
number 64513.
If there are further clues,
I will let you 2 know immediately.
This doesn't feel logic to me.
This doesn't feel logic to me too.
Between one of us brothers,
there must be 1 that can give her happiness.
You're cool,
I'm hot,
you're rational,
I'm lively,
you're a proud university graduate,
I'm a proud city boy.
If she doesn't choose me, she'll have to choose you.
If she doesn't choose you, she'll have to choose me.
Illogical.
Brother,
I feel it now...
my heartbreak.
How does it feel like?
The brain loses control of the body,
heartbeats are slowed,
breathing becomes rapid,
darkness is all I see.
I feel it now.
The feeling you just described...
is the same as mine.
Brother-in-law,
why are you here?
I woke up early,
can't go back to sleep anymore.
Worried I'd wake your sister,
so I came out to have a sit.
I am also bored being alone.
So I came here...
to practice my craft.
How is it? I've improved, right?
Rapid progress.
Of course.
My hand shadow show is really great now.
Tonight,
there was a fatty name Mr Liu...
who sat at the VIP section.
He insisted for me to perform my hand shadow show.
I was not willing to, he wasn't happy about it.
Then I thought about it...
and decided to make a fool out of him.
I made him a...
pig's head.
Everyone was laughing.
I asked him,
"How is it, Boss Liu?
Isn't it cute? Do you like it?"
Guess what he said?
-What is it? -He said,
"Very good!
Ms. Li Na, how did you know...
that my zodiac is a pig?"
Pig?
Pig.
His zodiac is a pig.
Pig...
Brother-in-law,
Does my sister make you laugh like this?
Sun will rise soon,
I'll go back to get more sleep.
Brother-in-law,
I'm your sister-in-law...
and also your friend.
If you are unhappy about something,
you can tell me.
I'm willing to share the burden with you.
Okay.
You should put on more clothes,
if not you'll get sick.
About the divorce,
I thought about it.
We'll do according to what you said.
Slowly,
until you've completed your mission.
We will stop our relationship then.
What do you think about it?
Thank you, Zhi Cai.
You're cooking with 3 casseroles at a time?
How can you manage that?
Young mistress Li Wen.
I'll help you with it.
No, it's okay, Young Mistress Li Wen.
I had no other choice.
One of it...
is Young Mistress Yue Rong's Chinese medicine,
another is your soup,
then is Madam's dessert soup.
Not one can be delayed.
That's too hard on you.
In the future,
whatever Madam drinks,
I'll drink it too.
You won't need to do mine separately .
Young Mistress Li Wen,
I can't promise you that.
The soup that's made for you...
is ordered by Madam.
Young Mistress Yue Rong, time for your Chinese medicine.
Li Wen.
-Yue Rong. -Be careful, it's hot.
I'll drink it in my room,
to avoid Li Wen being smoked with it.
Young Mistress Yue Rong,
why not just drink it it?
Madam has ordered that...
I have to accompany you until you finish it.
Drink it slowly!
Don't spit it out,
if not you'll have to drink more later.
