(Lost in 1949)
Don't overwork yourself.
Even if you want to use up 90%...
of your arithmetic capability on the experiment,
you have to take care of your health.
I shall not disturb you then.
Call me if you need anything.
Li Wen.
I'd like to talk to you.
Please take a seat.
Alright.
Li Wen.
Why are you so concerned...
about my experiment?
Because I'm concerned about you.
Experiments are your career.
If I care for you,
I would be concerned with your experiments too.
Please answer me honestly.
-Li Jie. -Li Wen.
Are you a Communist?
Yes, I am.
Yun Fu too?
Yes.
Doctor Tang as well.
Why are all the people whom I can communicate with...
from the Communist?
I just don't understand...
what are the strengths...
of Communism...
which is worthy of your choice.
Li Jie.
Do you remember gifting me a book...
titled "The Concise Oxford History of Physics"?
I've read it.
There was one particular story that I like.
It said that in ancient Greece,
people acknowledged...
an opinion from Aristotle.
The velocity of a falling object...
increases if it's heavy.
Until the 17th century,
Galileo, the physicist conducted...
an experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The 2 distinctly weighed iron balls fell...
to the ground simultaneously.
Thus, proving that the theory that lasted for 1900 years was wrong.
You must be familiar with this story.
Galileo...
and Communism...
Are they related in any way?
For me,
Communism is like Galileo.
People nowadays are so used...
to the social standards...
which differs between the rich and poor.
They have acknowledged the caste system...
between aristocrats and the commoners.
Even when some commoner hero earns fame,
they do it by merely stepping on others...
in order to earn their achievements.
But communism is different.
Communism aims to abolish privatization of production lines,
and creating a society without...
caste system and stress of exploitations.
Isn't this similar to Galileo?
He emerged...
and brought new perspectives to the world.
You asked why I'm concerned with your experiment?
If it's an honest answer,
I would say...
Not only that I care for you, (Loving)
but your experimental progress...
affects directly to your personal safety.
The authorities have ways to take you by force,
but because of your experimental outcomes,
they didn't make things hard for you.
But if...
If you completed your experiment fruitfully,
they will definitely snatch it from you...
and deport you to Taiwan by force.
Therefore my organization...
needs to know of your progress...
and ending time.
Then we can prepare early...
to ensure your freedom and safety.
Can you understand me like this?
Li Wen.
I can let you know about my progress...
and ending time.
But this doesn't mean that...
I have accepted Communism.
I need time.
I need some time to think.
I need time.
I understand.
Li Jie.
I'm glad that I've earned your trust.
Drink your milk while it's still warm.
Li Wen.
If not for your organization...
who sent you...
to take care and protect me,
would you still be my friend?
Of course.
I am grateful to my organization...
who sent me to protect and take care of you.
Hence the chance for me...
to become friends with you.
Help yourself, Prof Xu.
(Verdun Park) (Alpha Road No. 18)
Somebody sent liquor again?
I didn't ask for any.
Prof Xu.
I'll go and have a look.
Please wait here.
Verdun may be exposed.
Hello.
Is Mr. Xu at home?
I'm sorry, but here is not the Xu Residence.
There's no Mr. Xu here.
I knew you would say that.
If you won't let me in,
can you pass a message?
Mr. Xu knows my third brother,
Qiao Li Jie.
I'm not a bad guy.
I've told you,
there's no Mr. Xu here.
You can let me in,
then I can talk to him myself.
I can contact someone reliable...
to protect him.
Great work, Agent Qiao.
Go.
Agent Qiao,
Master Six is asking for you.
Move.
Please, Agent Qiao.
Go.
Hurry! What are you looking at!
Hop in, Agent Qiao.
Chef! Chef!
-Chef! Chef! -Chef!
Agent...
Qiao...
Boss,
Verdun is cleared.
Okay.
Scared me to death.
-Chief Qin. -Chief Liu.
What happened?
So many people here.
Heard that a water conservancy expert was captured.
Everyone's asking for credit.
The Director is here!
Thanks to you on Xu Ze Wen's capture.
It's definitely correct...
to put you in charge.
See, just 2 days,
and everything's out.
It's not because of me, Master Six.
Everybody came...
when I just stepped on their doorstep.
Being overly modest will make you a hypocrite.
Wait a moment.
Here's a small token of my sincerity.
-Take it. -Master Six.
I can't accept this.
This is not my credit.
Brother Qiao,
from today onwards,
I am treating you as my own...
from head to toe.
If you're unhappy,
feel free to say so.
This is my honour.
Thank you, Master Six.
Keep yourself busy.
Hold on.
Are you walking on your own?
I'll ask for a taxi.
What are you doing?
Send a car to escort him home.
It's okay.
Mr. Qiao, stop rejecting Master Six's goodwill.
Please.
Thank you, Master Six.
Qiao Zhi Cai.
You're back.
Master Six's driver sent you home?
What did you guys talk about?
Nothing much.
Accompanied him for some drinks.
Is it about Li Na again?
Yes, yes.
What did he say?
It's as usual.
Things about missing her...
and longing for her.
Asked if she had a boyfriend.
I've handled it.
I'm going to wash my face.
How was it? Anything's up in the...
Secret Service regarding Xu Ze Wen?
Whereabouts unknown.
They did not mobilize anyone or anything from the Operations.
Master Six assigned it to other agents.
The only Intel I have is that...
Qiao Zhi Cai has deep connections in this matter.
Boss.
A shirt was found at the back door.
Go.
Comrades nearby said...
that they saw...
the snatchers retreat from site.
Chu Zi saw whom...
was heading this mission.
He's named Agent Qiao.
Agent Qiao.
I've found this from Qiao Zhi Cai.
He tried to throw it away last night.
I've picked it up.
How are things with Qiao Li Jie?
When can the experiment end?
Li Jie told me...
he can come up to his conclusion...
latest by the 24th.
I will hand this thing in...
to the organization...
for inspection as soon as possible.
I will contact you again...
if anything comes up.
This is Browning M1911.
A bullet head without metal coverage...
with a calibre of 11.43 millimetres.
It's the dumdum bullet that we are searching for.
Did anyone use this gun?
Why is it kept in a gift box?
The bore and trigger...
had signs of usage.
It must have been used.
It's just a method to dispose...
the weapon by keeping it in a gift box.
See here.
There are some dried bloodstain here.
What if...
Qiao Zhi Cai...
is Agent 64513?
Comrade Xiang Mu, please...
continue to follow up Agent 64513.
Alright.
Xiao Li,
ask Comrade Huang to be on high alert.
Assist her in the upcoming actions.
Understood.
Prof Qiao.
Someone's outside.
-Shut down the machines. -Yes.
Okay.
Who are you guys? (No trespassing)
We are securities assigned by the top management...
to ensure Prof Qiao and his lab's safety.
I am Prof Qiao.
This is experimental grounds.
I don't need...
security detail to protect my lab.
Those unconcerned,
kindly leave.
Comrade Huang,
The object that you've sent to the organization...
from Qiao Zhi Cai has been inspected.
Is there any problem?
If Qiao Zhi Cai was the user,
Therefore he is highly...
suspected to have killed Doctor Tang.
Murder?
Is it possible...
Is it possible that the gun was not his?
-He's just... -He had also appeared...
at the site where Xu Ze Wen was abducted.
He was also the guide of the Secret Service.
These two matters...
don't seem to be like coincidences.
Comrade Huang.
No matter if you accept the fact,
the organization is giving you a warning.
Qiao Zhi Cai has a complicated stand in this issue.
You must face it cautiously.
I'm sorry, Prof Qiao.
We can't leave.
This is an order from our Head.
Order from your Head?
Who is your Head?
Who gave you this order?
This is none of your business.
Please go back and continue your experiment.
What are you doing?
Do you know Prof Qiao's status in the regime?
Even the mayor had to pay respects to him.
Your Head assigned you...
to ensure Prof Qiao and his lab's safety.
So just stay where you are.
Okay.
We will stand where we are.
Prof Qiao.
Since they're situated outside the lab,
they won't be able to interrupt our work in the lab.
Why don't we just let them stay there?
Our nuclear experimental subject...
is capable of emitting radiation.
Though the rates of radiation leak is low,
it's not totally zero.
I am thinking of the guards' health,
hence I asked them to leave.
Listen to that!
Prof Qiao thought of your health.
But you are so rude towards him.
Why are you still approaching?
Stand back!
-Go! -Hurry!
Move quickly!
Sorry, I'm really...
I'm totally confused.
Comrade Huang.
You have to stay calm.
Then,
continue your previous lifestyle.
Pretend to be natural like the past.
I know this is difficult for you.
But you have to do it.
You have to keep your mouth shut...
regarding the organization.
Never tell him anything.
Comrade Huang.
The organization trusts you.
I'm certain you can bear...
this enormous test.
Prof Qiao.
I'd better prepare a safe for you in the lab.
Safe?
You have to carry all data and formulas...
on you, on and off work.
How tiring!
I know you are not assured.
So many eyes are watching you...
throughout this whole day.
In fact there are some outsiders standing by out there.
Your documents are in jeopardy.
So I think it's safer...
to use a safe.
What kind of government...
would twist our research mechanism...
into such conditions?
Now that it has come to this,
we can only look for ways to face it.
The most important thing...
is still your experiment.
Tomorrow,
I will bring you that safe.
Alright, alright.
He is suspected to have killed Doctor Tang.
You have to keep your mouth shut...
regarding the organization.
Never tell him anything.
Run, run, run!
Let her go! She's my neighbour.
It's none of her business! Just kill me!
Let's get married.
Li Wen.
Mother is making sister-in-law...
do that exercise again.
Sister-in-law's medication was stopped recently.
Really?
This sister-in-law...
You should tell Mother about it.
If she keeps it up,
Even I couldn't bear it if I was sister-in-law.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Seeing you so caring about her,
I thought Brother A-San's matter...
had affected your relationship with her.
We are a family.
She is not a bad person too.
And she led a hard life.
Come and eat, Li Jie.
What's wrong, Li Jie?
Experiment not going well?
No.
Then eat, if it's not.
Look at Mother.
She's worried.
Hurry and eat.
Mother.
I don't have the appetite.
I'm going for a run.
You can finish your dinner and run then.
Yes, finish your food first.
Sit down and talk, Li Jie.
Sit down first.
What happened?
Did Chief Jiang ask you to sign the papers?
More ridiculous than that.
He sent a troop of security officers...
to guard my lab entrance.
Not only watching over me,
they tried to invade my lab.
I've decided to keep...
all of my data and formulas...
into a safe to prevent wreckage.
Safe?
My assistant introduced it to me.
Said that it's safer to keep them there.
Brother, listen to me.
A safe is the most dangerous thing.
Thieves in the black market...
steal things from safes and sell them there.
You may think that the safe looks durable.
But if your password was stolen,
its durability has no use.
It's nothing to them.
It's better for you to...
carry your materials back home daily.
It's safer back home.
I think that...
if Li Jie is able to keep...
his password as a secret,
it's better to keep his things in the safe.
-Why did you... -It's dangerous to carry this around.
These people are already aiming these materials from Li Jie.
If they know that Li Jie carries them around every day,
if he was kidnapped or assaulted...
Alright, alright.
It's not so horrifying.
Don't scare mother.
Listen to your second brother, Li Jie.
Don't listen to her.
Bring it.
Water conservancy expert Xu Ze Wen was assaulted.
Isn't this a fresh example...
from 2 days ago?
This is so scary.
Li Jie, might as well bring your work home.
Don't go to the lab anymore, okay?
Mother.
I'll still have to go to the lab.
I need the equipments there.
Don't worry about me.
What Li Wen said makes sense.
I'll keep them in the safe first.
I don't feel good...
that the safe is in the lab.
Think about it.
What if someone snuck into the lab late at night...
and stole the materials in the safe?
It's late.
Hurry and sleep.
I know.
The people from your organization...
are keeping watch.
So you told Li Jie that...
it's safe to keep the materials in the safe, right?
I don't know.
Besides, my organization...
will not tell me everything.
Prof Qiao.
This is the latest password model from Germany.
Maximum 6 digits can be keyed in.
Water, pressure and corrosion-resistant.
The spinning wheel model from before...
are not so secure nowadays.
Okay.
I will begin using it today.
Try it out.
Okay.
If Prof Qiao uses the safe like this,
the documents will surely be safe.
These are crucial documents.
The consequences will be dire...
if these documents were used by...
those with bad intentions.
Sure.
Hello.
This is the Qiao Residence. Who are you looking for?
A moment, please.
Young Master Zhi Cai, it's your phone call.
Hello? Who is this?
Mr. Su?
Which Mr. Su?
Then...
Let's meet up then.
Who was that?
I'm going out, will be back soon.
Li Wen.
Bring me 2 candles.
According to our Intel,
Qiao Li Jie's experimental research...
will end, latest...
by the 24th.
All data compilations are complete.
The formulas are being calculated as well.
You have to copy down...
all formulas as soon as possible.
It must be done fast.
I understand.
But Qiao Li Jie is really cautious.
He's extremely careful whenever he's keying the password.
If I had known,
why would I have introduced the safe to him.
You're stuck just from...
a password for the safe.
A shame that you are a physicist.
Lead powder to extract password.
No need to teach you, right?
No need.
It's been a long time, Mr. Qiao.
Mr. Su.
You're looking for me?
Anything I can help you with?
Mr. Qiao must be curious...
why I've asked you out to talk.
Why should I be?
You are from the Secret Service,
and I work for Master Six.
Shouldn't we just talk...
about work when we meet?
What is there to be curious about?
Mr. Qiao is smart indeed.
You've guarded yourself well from your words.
Why don't you go straight to the point?
Actually, the reason I asked you out...
is not for work,
but for private matters.
Private matters? Alright.
To be frank,
due to the current political turmoil,
many began to plan for themselves,
including me.
After Chief Chu's assassination,
I have became a nomad without an owner in the Secret Service.
Obviously Chief Jiang doesn't care about me.
The newly appointed Operations Chief...
did not ask for me.
So after long considerations,
I've decided to speak to Mr. Qiao.
Me?
Work together with me?
If Mr. Qiao ever needs me in the future,
I will perform my very best.
Mr. Su.
I am but a prick in Chief Chu's eyes.
Why did you think of me...
when getting someone to help you?
Because I've seen it myself...
how Mr. Qiao and Chief Chu tackled each other.
No matter how Chief Chu schemes against you,
he can never obtain any advantages...
from you, Mr. Qiao.
Am I wrong?
Just from this,
it proves that Mr. Qiao is capable.
Therefore I think it's wise for me to follow Mr. Qiao.
Mr. Su.
Chief Chu was assertive that...
Li Wen and I are accomplices of the Communists.
Aren't you afraid?
This is not important.
Since I've acknowledged you,
I will never doubt you again.
Mr. Qiao,
look at this.
I believe this...
can prove my sincerity about working with you.
Mr. Su.
These photos...
where did you get them?
Chief Chu have been trying to get evidences...
that you and Ms. Huang had a fake marriage.
In addition to that, I have stalked Ms. Huang...
to investigate Chief Chu's death.
These are all taken secretly.
Li Wen and I got married for real.
It's not important any more.
I will keep your sincerity.
But if we are working together in the future,
You should stop following...
my Li Wen from now onwards.
Rest assured, Mr Qiao.
Not anymore.
Okay.
Done.
-I'm getting off work. -Okay. Thanks, Prof Qiao.
-You too. -I'll clean the place up.
Then I'll leave.
You're off so early, Li Jie.
Mom, Li Jie's back.
Today's calculation was smooth,
so I ended things early.
Oh yes, Mother.
Didn't you say you want to have a few rounds of chess?
I'll accompany you after dinner.
Great!
Gui Fen.
Hurry and set the table.
Madam, Young Master Zhi Cai is not back yet.
Reheat the food when he's back then.
Hurry up, let's eat.
I have a date with Li Na...
to accompany her to shop for clothes.
Tomorrow? No, I can't.
I have a date with Li Na...
to shop for fabrics.
Chief Chu had been trying to get evidences...
that you and Ms. Huang had a fake marriage.
I have stalked Ms. Huang...
These were taken secretly.
I've said.
Stop minding my matters in the future.
(Heine Pavilion)
Brother-in-law.
Why are you leaving when I'm just here?
What do you mean by that?
Come.
Come and have a seat.
Nanjing has been conquered by the Communists.
We can never find a new boss now.
The rich are fleeing all over the place.
I am really declaring bankruptcy now.
Say, brother-in-law.
Should I leave too?
But where should I go?
Hong Kong?
It's too hot there.
America is nice,
but I can't speak their language.
What do you think, brother-in-law?
Aren't news spreading that...
consorts and dancers will be sent...
to reward the soldiers?
Anywhere is fine,
as long as it's far from Shanghai.
Brother-in-law,
what's wrong with you?
Don't call me brother-in-law.
You and your sister...
keeps going shopping...
frequently these few days.
What are you guys trying to do?
Do you really take me as a fool?
Do I look like a fool?
Brother-in-law.
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to lie.
But...
On one side, she's my sister.
On the other, there's you.
I don't want to hurt either of you.
So I...
I'm sorry, brother-in-law.
I apologize to you on her behalf.
Brother-in-law.
Is apologizing of any use?
Is it useful?
Brother-in-law!
Li Wen,
how do I move from here?
I go towards the left,
right?
Yes.
I shall follow you then.
Mom, no regrets after this.
Don't use this on me.
Huang Li Wen.
Go back and rest in the room.
Zhi Cai.
Let Li Wen play for a while.
She's teaching me.
If not I'll lose again.
Hurry, how can I move this, Li Wen?
Come and see for me.
Just skip 2 from the left.
Jump 3 from the right.
This... It's slanted now, right?
It's alright.
Build a connection first.
-Tear it up later. -Okay.
Go and keep your things, Huang Li Wen.
How can we get divorced if you don't?
