Brother! Brother!
Brother?
Are you… with the National Salvation Association or with the Communist Party?
I can‘t understand you.
Now… Now, none of this matters to me.
Remember what I tell you.
All our brothers that came out from Fengtian City...
Now there's only… only…
Brother? Brother?
SHANGHAI COMMUNIST PARTY UNDERGROUND INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
Shadow died just like that?
Shanghai is already falling.
Chiang is planning to retreat. In days, it will become more chaotic here.
I think I can grab this chance to replace Shadow.
My mission was to follow Shadow anyway, to sneak into their secret service.
Now, we save the effort.
I will get into Feng Zixiong's spy network as Shadow.
Then get into the Japanese secret service, so I can lurk in there.
But Feng Zixiong knows Shadow.
They haven't met in over a decade, they are unfamiliar.
This is the only option. Or all previous efforts will be in vain.
Feng Zixiong is a crafty old fox.
I've done my homework on Feng Zixiong and Shadow.
I hope the Organization will consider my proposal seriously.
Trust me.
This is all that I own.
Who could guess,
all these stamps have countless secrets behind them.
The Japanese are nice to me,
all because of these agents I have infiltrated,
not only in the National Army, but also even in the Communist Party.
What can the Communist Party achieve
Why does Aoki pay such attention to Shanghai Underground Division?
The Communist Party made him suffer big time back in the Northeast.
So, although I haven't used my agent infiltrated in the Communist Party yet,
Director Aoki values it greatly.
This is a wild goose flying in the sky.
When the timing is right, it will come back with what's mine.
We confirmed the identity of the body. Chief of Confidential Unit, Wang Xin.
-What about those two that went missing? -Nothing yet.
-You have their names? -I have of both, Zhou.
What a coincidence.
Both are staff majors of the Staff Office.
Another coincidence...
Both are from the Northeast.
Both graduated from ROCMA, but not the same year.
They used to serve in different armies,
then both came to the Staff Office of the Military Commission.
...failing to kill the appointed ones, unable to catch the wanted ones.
We suffer heavy casualties, while the war is becoming more critical.
If we continue like this, we might as well shut down our unit.
Director, let's draw our net in.
Bring Feng Zixiong and his men in for interrogation.
-I'll make them talk! -That's an awful plan!
What if Feng Zixiong refuses to give up Shadow no matter what?
I have a plan.
KEEP OUT
-Send this check to Feng Zixiong. -Yes, sir.
Sir, please have some mercy.
-I beg you, please give some money. -Sir, sir.
Please, just some change. I've been starving for so long.
-Sir. -Please have some mercy.
-We've been hungry for days. -Get lost!
What's going on?
Sorry, it could be something wrong with the engine. Let me go check.
Honk the horn.
How much longer?
I'm sorry, it could take quite a while.
-Fix it and drive it back by yourself. -Yes, sir.
Junko?
-Junko? -What are you doing?
Trying to take advantage, man?
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Trying to take advantage?
Enough, enough. Never mind.
Hey pay attention when you walk.
Excuse me.
Captain, what a wonderful plan.
Switching it under Watanabe's own eyes.
Everyone has weaknesses.
Watanabe was Junko's fiancé.
How can he not be emotional thinking his dead fiancé was back to life?
The fund is for expansion of the Spy Network.
I need to see the result.
Let's go to the cafe. We must arrive before Watanabe.
Go.
Check.
It's done, sir.
Now, we wait for the old fox Feng Zixiong to serve the Party.
Haven't I told you never again? Why using the stick again for intel?
Mr. Watanabe informed us to use the old method this time. That's why I…
They are too reckless. This has to change.
And you can't meet in that cafe anymore.
Yes, sir.
Feng Zixiong. Twenty thousand yuan.
Our intel was wrong. It almost got the Japanese headquarters destroyed.
Not only there was no punishment for us, but to send us money now?
Maybe you are worrying too much?
Shanghai is going fall in no time. Even if the Japanese can get in,
their Special Agent Division still has to rely on our network, right?
This fund is for the next operation. Bring ALL staff to your house tomorrow.
Details will be informed in a special way, at 12:00 p.m. tomorrow.
We are being watched so closely now.
Gathering on such grand scale...
doesn't make sense.
Lieutenant Liu, when you went to meet him,
did you sense anything unusual?
The situation is already settled.
Maybe they are rushing for their work to be meritorious?
So the Navy and the Army won't steal their thunder?
Notify Bai and Jialun.
Also Shrimp and Scorpion. Tell them to come, too.
Yes, sir.
Wait.
Later, our distribution of military supplies will get reviewed.
We both have to stay.
Well… should I ask Madame to contact them?
Hello.
Game night tomorrow?
I see. I will send invitations.
Come back early. Bye.
The Organization approved your plan to get into Feng's spy network as Shadow.
Then make way into the Japanese Special Agent Service.
I'm your sole contact.
The Staff Office and Nanjing high levels must keep the news of the sunken craft
strictly confidential.
Feng can't possibly know Zhou is dead.
I'll use Shadow's identity,
to get close to Feng Manna first, and see how Feng Zixiong reacts.
The letters between Shadow and Manna are all in my hands.
I can imitate Shadow's writing, send Manna a letter.
Ask her out for a cup of coffee or to go dancing.
Anyway, being Third, I have to send Miss Manna a surprise.
With a few Sparrow Flips,
we ask you gentlemen for some pity.
Oh.
Come on, get up.
I can't get up.
Get up, get up now.
Who is it?
Could it be my letter?
A letter from your boyfriend?
One letter a day, quite on time.
Relationships are so sweet.
Miss, your letter.
Look at yourself.
Any pictures? Let us have a look.
I don't even know how he looks like.
-You guys are annoying. -What if he is ugly?
I say he might be a fatty.
How can it be? His writing is so pretty.
-That's true. -You guys obviously don't get it.
If he can catch Princess Manna's attention,
there's no way he is ordinary.
He's got to be as handsome as Clark Gable.
-Right? -Alright, alright.
Manna's heart flew to Nanjing already.
I guess the rehearsal can't go on.
Let the girl enjoy her romance. We will leave then.
I'm sorry, let me send you out.
-Bye. -Bye.
Rouge, you stay.

CIRO'S BALLROOM
SEPTEMBER 13TH 9 O'CLOCK
September 13th, isn't it today?
Rouge, you are not leaving. Stay with me for a few more days?
I'm okay with it, but my mother will get worried.
It's such a chaos out there.
What's to worry about? This is not any place. This is my home.
Besides, it's not like you're a little girl.
I will call your mother and tell her.
I'd rather call her myself.
What happened to my letter?
Hello? Hi, Mom.
I'm not coming back tonight.
Rouge, help me out, which one is better?
This one, simple and elegant.
You are all dressed up so pretty. Are you going to meet your boyfriend?
What do you think?
Wait, it's the first time I meet him. Can you come also?
I don't wanna be a third wheel.
So what? You are my best friend.
I'm also your best friend, right?
Of course.
I believe you.
Just like how much I believe my parents.
So, if I'm good to you, you will be good to me, right?
Yes, of course.
Which dress do you think I should wear?
You are still using this mascara?
Bourjois has a new one now. Vivien Leigh is using it.
It will look even nicer on you.
But it's too late now. They must be closed.
No, I'll get it for you.
CLOSED FOR STOCK-TAKING
When the "closed for stock-taking" sign appears,
it means we are out for a special case. Anything comes up, you handle it yourself.
Aunty, this is A Li. Is Uncle there?
Mom asked me to bring rice dumplings.
-Yes? -Shadow might be showing up.
-Where? When? -Manna has a boyfriend that she never met.
They've been exchanging letters.
They are meeting tonight. I suspect he is Shadow.
Great. Tell me where they are meeting.
If you catch Shadow, are you going to punish Manna?
Haven't we promised you?
Captain Song, I didn't call Director Wan, because I want to hear the truth from you.
-I'm hanging up then. -No, wait.
If we see her with the agent, we will have to interrogate her.
She cannot go until we confirm she is not involved.
She really doesn't know.
You have to trust us. We will never wrong an innocent.
Tell me now the time and location.
Rouge? Rouge?
Speak now!
The situation is critical. You'd better give this priority!
I will lure Shadow out, you just follow me.
Don't tackle Manna, don't get too close, don't let Shadow notice.
Hello? Hello?
They were just closing when I ran in, but I got it anyway.
Thanks, darling.
You are being naughty again.
Manna, you going to see a stranger like this,
couldn't it be kind of dangerous?
What if you encounter a swindler?
No way, I can't be that wrong about someone.
I'm not that silly.
Alright, don't think about it.
You should help me figure out which dress I should wear, okay?
Sure.
You never wore this one. This one it is.
Manna...
I'm sorry.
I really don't want to get you involved.
Miss Rouge.
Do I look pretty?
So pretty.
However, putting your hair up can be even nicer.
-It's already in a ponytail. -Go put it up.
Manna!
-Manna, are you okay? -It hurts.
It hurts so bad.
Come up, slowly.
-Is it painful here? -Very.
I will go get some medicine.
What's wrong? What's wrong? Miss, how could you be so careless?
I will bring you some medicine.
I wonder if I broke something. It's really painful.
-Let's get to the hospital. -Why the hospital?
We have our meeting.
How lucky! This had to happen right before I leave.
Look how bad it is. And you're still going?
Sit down, don't move.
I remember there is a Chinese pharmacy on Hengshan Road.
They have some powerful anti-inflammatory painkillers.
-Let's try it out. -Wait. Let Liu go!
You sit, don't move.
I remember there is a Chinese pharmacy on Hengshan Road.
They have some powerful anti-inflammatory painkillers.
-Let's try it out. -It's okay.
Ciro's Ballroom. Hurry.
Rouge.
Miss, what are you doing? You’re injured, don't move like this.
I have to go, it's urgent.
-Call a rickshaw for me. -Careful.
Rickshaw, rickshaw.
-Miss, where are you going? -Ciro's Ballroom. Hurry.
CIRO'S BALLROOM
Sorry. I'm sorry.
-Why don't you watch where you're going? -You can't blame me,
it's only because you are too pretty.
Frivolous. Give it back.
The fragrance her beauty pampers with,
it's worth a poor man's half-month salary.
Sir, half-month or full month, give it back to me first.
Two Girls. The most popular brand in Shanghai now.
It's worth a poor man's half-month salary.
You know a lot about women's stuff.
I know a lot more.
Shanghai ladies used to worship British and French makeup.
But it's changed these years.
They now talk about revitalizing the national industry.
Ladies like to follow the fashion, so this Two Girls is most fashionable now.
Quit the nonsense and give it back to me.
Finders keepers. You know who rules?
The bandit.
When a bandit sees such a beautiful woman...
What do you want?
Guess what do I want to do?
I didn't expect you to dance this well.
It depends on the partner. Today's performance is my best so far.
You smooth-tongued. Is this the signal for our meeting?
Miss Manna is so pretty, I was afraid to come greet you.
I thought I was meeting a hero, and it turns out it's just a rich boy.
Just a rich boy in this ballroom. Change the place, I will be your hero.
What place?
Hurry, go faster.
Thank you.
Miss, please wait a second.
-What do you want? -Why did you come here?
Isn't this a ballroom? I came to dance.
Miss, aren't your legs dancing already? Why bother coming here?
What does that mean?
What does it mean? Watch this.
Eh, eh.
I’m dancing.
Are you imitating me?
-You pushed me? -What's your problem?
So what? Why did you imitate me?
So what if I imitated you!
So what if I dance with an injured ankle!
-What the hell, get out! -Apologize to me!
Cheers, Third.
Don't call me "Third" outside.
Why not?
Hasn't your father told you?
Right, he did, he did.
-I will call you Mr. Zhou then. -Yes.
Cheers.
Sir, your wine.
Cheers.
See, I emptied mine.
Alright, I will as well.
Shadow?
-Hello. -Captain, Shadow showed up.
-Where? -He is with Rouge.
-Where? -Ciro's Ballroom.
Move!
Are you in a hurry to go somewhere?
I'm not going anywhere. I will drink right here till dawn.
Enough, enough.
Stop, this wine isn't good. I will take you to taste good ones.
This wine is alright.
There're better ones you haven't tasted yet.
Let's go.
-You are drunk already. -You are so inappropriate.
When a bandit sees a beauty, that's the way to go.
Let's go, to my room.
What? What do you think I am?
Hey.
Please… don't be so impatient.
I have good wine in my room. Let's go.
Sorry, Miss, but if you don't straighten this up
and apologize to my buddy now, you aren't leaving.
Why should I apologize? If you don't let me go,
-I'll call the police. -Go ahead.
Go get the police, go ahead.
I have plenty of good wine in my hotel room. Stop looking.
-Miss, where are you going? -I have something urgent to do, really.
No way!
NEW ASIA GRAND HOTEL
If you don't apologize, don't expect to leave.
-No way. -No, no.
I will give you money, give you money, give you money.
Alright? Can I go now?
Miss, with this tiny amount, do you expect to get rid of me?
Do you see us as beggars or something? Guys, Let's do it.
I give you more money, all of this. Take, take.
-So much money. -Take the money, take it.
-Money… -Don't fight…
Where's the wine?
Can you drink more?
Open another bottle.
Your moves are not good enough. Who was your instructor?
