(Lost in 1949)
-You're finally here. -Mom.
Zhi Cai is ill.
I'll look for the doctor.
There's no need to, mom.
I'll take him away now.
You think...
No.
I'll take care of him.
Li Na.
I know what you mean.
But this is not a place for him to stay.
Why not?
No one can find him here.
The Qiao's are all waiting for him.
His mother and brothers are all waiting for him.
You can't keep him here.
What else can they do?
If they care about him,
if you care about him,
he wouldn't have become like this.
I want to go home.
Li Wen.
How did Zhi Cai get injured?
He works for the Secret Service.
That's why.
How is he?
How is he, doctor?
His body is burning.
It's almost 40 degrees.
It's due to the recurring inflammation of the wound.
I've dressed the wound.
But he still needs to be medicated and observed.
-Okay. -I'll go get the medicine right away.
-I'll heat up some water. -Okay.
He needs to be warded, if the fever doesn't go down tomorrow.
Okay.
I've got to go.
Thank you so much, doctor.
See the doctor out, Gui Fen.
Thank you.
Li Wen.
I think...
it's better to bring Zhi Cai to my room.
To be having such high fever,
he must feel really ill.
I'll take care of him at night,
so that you can get your rest.
Mom,
you don't have to do that.
I can take care of him.
This boy...
what's gotten into him?
Leaving without a word,
yet he comes back...
in a state like this.
Li Wen,
listen to me.
Whatever it is...
promise me, you'll only talk to him when he's recovered.
I know.
Mom, I know.
Go get your rest.
I'll be here.
Then...
Call me anytime...
if you need me at night.
Sorry for the trouble.
Not at all.
Where is that thing?
The temperature is not coming down.
Don't worry, Li Wen.
The medicine needs some time to work.
Go and get some rest.
Li Wen.
Have you forgiven Zhi Cai?
Li Jie.
I remember that word...
that you told me at the café.
Is it...
Babe Ruth?
That's the word, right?
I don't remember what it means.
Can you explain it to me again?
Babe Ruth...
is the name of a baseball player.
He was a famous Major League baseball player...
in America during the '20s and '30s.
Boston Red Sox has won several champions under his leadership.
Both Dr. Tang and I are his fans.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Just asking.
Go get some rest.
You have to set off tomorrow.
Well.
Thank you for your efforts.
I know who that man was.
Zhang Xiao Guang.
He's alive.
The fever's gotten you silly.
Go to sleep.
I am not.
I'm sure that man was Zhang Xiao Guang.
(Closed) First,
I've some good news for you.
We've caught 3 secret agents who...
were in close contact with Shanghai.
The leader's code was He Luo.
This eliminates all the troubles...
for our Homecoming Operation.
That's great.
Everything is set...
at Su Zhou harbour.
Our comrades from Pu Dong are on standby to reinforce us.
Everything's ready.
It's our turn to take action.
Good.
We shall split into groups for the escorting.
We'll be divided into 3 teams...
to escort the professionals...
from their home or workplace to the jetty.
Team 1, Chu Hui, electric power expert.
I'll have him.
Chu Hui's Electric Design Institute...
is the nearest to my Wan Lin Drapery.
Team 2, business man Wang Jun Ming.
I'll have him.
Team 3, banker Chen Fu.
Leave him to me.
Then I'll lead Team 4 for physicist,
Qiao Li Jie.
Something's happened, Comrade Wu.
Zhang Xiao Guang is still alive.
Zhang Xiao Guang joined the basketball team...
at the textile mill.
I've seen the photo of him playing basketball.
You must be curious about how I found out.
I've seen him at Master Six's place before.
They were in a secret meeting.
I bumped into him yesterday.
He wanted to kill me.
But he failed.
He has asked people to tail me recently.
He even killed my best friend,
Long Legs by accident.
He was the one who hurt my right leg.
If you've seen him yesterday.
He's injured.
The wound on his shoulder,
I'm the one who shot it.
How did you get that?
Shot by a spy.
Who's that spy?
I can't see his face.
I know that you love him.
But I have to tell you that...
he's the darkest person I've ever seen.
He's been lying to you.
Li Wen.
I believe that you know nothing...
about all the things he has done.
I believe that he's been hiding everything from you.
I trust you.
I believe that you're different from him.
But I also believe that...
no matter what I do or say,
between him and I,
you'll never chose to trust me.
Li Wen.
Because he's a secret agent.
Therefore he'll never...
give himself away easily.
Don't be blinded by him.
Don't you ever forget that...
the spy killed Ba...
he killed Xiao Bai Tuo!
He nearly got us all killed!
Are you sure that he's Zhang Xiao Guang?
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
He is definitely Zhang Xiao Guang.
Wu,
according to the information I have in hand,
He is the secret agent 64513.
If it was really him,
everything makes sense then.
Secret Service has been spot on...
with its operations recently.
I agree with Comrade Xiang Mu.
They can only make it...
with 64513...
as the spy.
They've killed our comrades...
and the experts whom we're protecting.
I never expected...
him to be the spy.
He works together with Secret Service,
to jeopardize the Homecoming Operation.
This is such bad news.
Zhang Xiao Guang...
was involved in the early planning of the operation.
He has thorough understanding on...
each and every expert.
There's one more thing
I'd like to remind you about.
Zhang Xiao Guang is provided with quite...
a number of weapons.
Is he planning for...
something bigger?
Is he aware of our plan tomorrow?
Huang Li Wen.
From the works of Zhang Xiao Guang,
we know that he's cunning and cruel.
He must have contacted Huang Li Wen.
Because in Huang Li Wen's hands...
are Qiao Li Jie's timetable.
Notify Huang Li Wen about this in the morning.
This has to be investigated to the very root.
The fever is gone.
I'll sleep on the floor.
Don't you move.
Just stay in bed.
I'll sleep on the floor tonight.
Do you want some water?
I thought I heard you asking Li Jie about...
Babe Ruth.
You know about it?
Movie.
It's in the movie.
James Cagney...
was the lead actor.
A gangster film by Hollywood.
A good guy...
was killed by the traitor.
Before he died,
the good guy uttered a word.
Babe Ruth.
The traitor didn't know about the meaning.
And he asked around.
At the end, he asked Cagney about it.
The word is actually...
the secret code between Cagney and the good guy.
So Cagney knew that...
the man was...
a traitor.
So he shot the man.
It's awesome.
Dr. Tang loved this film too.
Once,
we bumped into each other outside of the cinema.
We even talked about this.
What's wrong?
Qiao Zhi Cai.
I was wrong.
What?
I've been wrong.
I'm sorry.
Babe Ruth.
It's the secret code given to me by Dr. Tang.
He knew that...
Zhang Xiao Guang will come to me...
to ask about Babe Ruth.
Li Jie knew about Babe Ruth,
because He and Dr. Tang were friends in Boston.
You knew about Babe Ruth,
because you've watched the movie together.
I'll get the answer no matter who I ask.
Dr. Tang was trying to tell me...
who the real traitor was.
But...
I've trusted the traitor.
And I even suspected you.
I'm sorry, Qiao Zhi Cai.
I was even afraid of you.
I was afraid of you.
Even if you were,
you still took care of me.
I don't blame you.
I've never blamed you.
Never.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, Qiao Zhi Cai.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know...
how to face you...
anymore.
As well as
my comrades.
What will I say to them?
I've done such a big mistake.
How do I explain it to them?
It's okay.
I'll go with you...
in the morning.
I'll be with you.
I'll stay by your side.
It's okay.
17.
18.
19.
20.
Please check, Manager Chen.
There is a total of 20 boxes.
It's all clearly marked.
These are the historical materials crucial to the bank.
-Please guard it with your life. -Yes.
Good.
Qiao Yi Ying.
From now on,
You'll be in charge...
of guarding the vault.
Never leave it unguarded for the next 48 hours.
This is the key.
Remember,
you're the representative of Shanghai Bank.
Let's go!
Sweetheart.
Zhi Cai is back.
Didn't you say that we'll leave if he's back?
Let's leave by today, okay?
Today?
I haven't bought the tickets yet.
I bought it, look 2 tickets...
leaving at 5 this evening.
When did you buy it?
Yesterday.
I bought it straight from the station after Zhi Cai was back.
Sweetheart.
You've no idea...
how expensive the tickets are now.
But I know that we are more important
than the money, right?
Who cares,
as long as you're with me.
You're too good to me.
Young Mistress Yue Rong.
Young Master Yi Ying has called.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Yi Ying. -Yue Rong.
Please bring me something to eat and drink.
And some clothes to change.
Manager Chen has me guarding the bank.
I can't leave the place now.
Okay.
Come.
Why is that sissy looking for you, sweetheart?
He has to guard the bank.
He wouldn't be home at the time being.
I need to send him something to eat.
Wait for me.
I...
I'm speechless.
You always keep me waiting.
How long should I wait for you?
What are we waiting for?
Please wait for me one last time.
Even Yi Ying isn't manly enough,
but still, we're husband and wife by law.
I've agreed to go with you.
I can't leave without saying goodbye.
All you know is taking my patience for granted.
Fine.
The train...
waits for nobody.
Get everything done quick, okay?
It's here.
Here it is.
There you go.
-Thanks, sir. -Thanks.
You wait for me here.
Okay.
Comrade Lee.
I have something important to...
report to the organization immediately.
Zhang Xiao Guang.
He's still alive.
We've been in contact...
for the past month.
He found me a month ago.
I was shocked at the beginning.
But thinking that...
he's still alive,
I was too happy to think about anything else.
I've trusted him.
He told me there was a spy in the organization...
therefore, he couldn't come back.
He wanted me to cover up for him.
He even got me involved in protecting Homecoming Operation.
That's why I didn't utter a word.
And kept it a secret from the organization.
Besides covering up for him,
did he ask you to do anything else?
I...
I told him...
everything about Li Jie.
I never expected that...
he was actually the spy.
What makes you suspect Zhang Xiao Guang?
It's Qiao Zhi Cai.
Come with me.
Where did you attack Zhang Xiao Guang?
Hui Wen Hotel.
Room 313.
So you met Zhang Xiao Guang...
in that room too?
Yes.
We've shifted to Ding Sheng Bar...
after he was attacked.
You were there when water conservation expert,
Xu Ze Wen was kidnapped, right?
Master Six said Xu Ze Wen...
has gone missing.
Even Secret Service can't trace him.
You...
The communist organization's also failed to find him.
He asked me to look for him, that's what I did.
I just arrived at Xu's place.
I hadn't even talked to him.
Then the people from Secret Service rushed in and kidnapped him.
I didn't even know what had happened.
After I got back to the office,
Master Six praised me for my effort.
Calling me his comrade and...
gave me a gift box.
When I opened the box at home,
there were pistol and bullets in it.
I would never place them at home.
Or else, I'll be the same as them.
Therefore, I threw them out...
during midnight.
But I wasn't sure about...
what happened to Xu.
How can the...
Secret Service arrive within such a short time?
Until I found these.
Actually,
The days when I was away from home,
were the days when...
Zhang Xiao Guang tried to kill me.
I found these in his hotel room.
They knew about Xu's movement...
way before hand.
But still Master Six asked me to look for him.
And had Zhang Xiao Guang spying on me.
It was a trap.
They were framing me up.
But I didn't know why.
They did that because...
you're at a crucial position even you weren't aware of.
Both you and Comrade Huang are husband and wife.
And blood brother of Qiao Li Jie.
Making you a target,
letting us suspect you,
making Huang shun way from you,
so that it'll affect our operation.
That was their main motive.
There is one thing that...
I don't understand either.
Since you didn't want to join the Secret Service,
why did you look for Xu Ze Wen?
Did Mao Rui Lin blackmail you?
No.
Master Six might be one of the reasons.
But most importantly,
I believe what Master Six told me.
He told me that you,
the Communist,
aren't aware about Xu's whereabouts too.
All I wanted is to find Xu.
And prove to you that I'm...
capable and ambitious.
And I wanted to give Li Wen a surprise.
Surprise?
Qiao Zhi Cai wants to join us.
He wants me to be...
his introducer.
I found this when I was...
tidying the clothes.
So I brought it here.
Please have a look.
I know.
I'm not qualified to be the introducer...
for new member...
because I'm naive and emotional.
And I'd brought great loss...
to the organization.
I know that apologizing...
wouldn't make any difference.
But still I urge the organization...
to give Qiao Zhi Cai a chance.
He's done a lot for the organization.
He's innocent.
Your letter of application has demonstrated...
your desire in joining the organization,
and how Comrade Huang has changed you.
The organization will continue to observe you.
It's better to be cautious.
I thank the organization for believing that I'm innocent.
The organization has plans to handle...
such complicated situation.
And the organization has investigated on Huang Li Wen.
Now, we'll tell you the results...
of the investigation.
Comrade Huang Li Wen.
After a series of investigation,
we know that you weren't aware of...
Zhang Xiao Guang's spy identity.
You were also one of his victims.
You were under the guidance of Comrade Si Nan,
you contacted Comrade Wu Yun Fu... for the organization,
and retrieved the list...
of secret agents around the experts.
From your performance,
the organization still chooses to trust you.
Thank you.
We don't have much time.
Homecoming Operation must be competed as soon as possible.
Since Mao and Zhang are still unaware...
that their identities are exposed.
We can still carry on...
with the plan.
Okay.
(Shanghai Bank)
I've brought you some canned food and honey.
Here are your clothes.
These should be enough.
(Shanghai Bank)
How long do you have to be here for?
48 hours.
That's very long!
Why don't you go home first?
Everybody's gone back.
Why are you still guarding here?
How can I do that?
I'm representing Shanghai Bank now.
I have the gold and silver shipment...
records in my hands.
They are all the financial records.
I have to guard them safe.
I'm leaving.
Good bye.
-There's a bank. Let's break in. -Let's go!
-Open the door! -Quick!
-Open the door, quick! -Open it!
-Open the door! -Open the door now!
Come out! Now!
-Open the door! -Open the door, quick!
-What's with the soldiers out there? -Open the door!
Open the door!
Are they trying to rob the bank?
What are you trying to do?
Open the vault!
Boss.
We've found Qiao Zhi Cai.
He's back in Zhenning Village.
When did he go back?
I'm not certain about the time.
But Qiao went out with Huang together this morning.
Tell Zhang Xiao Guang...
that our operation will carry on.
Be careful.
Don't act strange around him.
We'll talk later.
Have you confirmed about the details of operation from the Party?
I've confirmed with them...
this morning.
Everything remains the same.
The organization wanted me...
to keep Qiao Li Jie safe.
Well done.
What's wrong, Li Wen?
Nothing.
I'm worried about...
Homecoming Operation.
What is there to worry about?
The spy is still free, isn't he?
I'm worried that something might go wrong.
The organization has plans.
I have my own too.
Don't you worry.
What are you afraid of?
Qiao...
Qiao Zhi Cai is back.
He... He came back last night.
He's been acting...
strange since then.
He's been talking weird.
He insisted that he's injured.
And wanted me to look at his wound.
He said somebody's trying to kill him.
He stared...
hard at me.
Grinding his teeth.
And said he wants to kill that man.
He wants to kill that man.
I didn't dare to even ask him...
who that man was.
Did he do something to you?
He's been tailing me all along my way...
to the organization this morning.
And I tried so hard to get rid of him.
But he still stares hard at me...
when I got home.
I'm scared.
Don't be afraid.
I...
I thought Qiao Zhi Cai...
wasn't a secret agent.
But now...
I'm really am afraid of him.
