The basket looks fine.
The eggs must contain the answer.
2132 NORTH
The code?
The code!
Chief Aoki.
Why are you here?
To see your progress.
You always bring me surprises.
Would you call this a surprise?
That's a smart idea.
Hiding secrets in a hard-boiled egg.
These ones too.
One of the greatest pleasures
is to discover others' secrets.
Hang on.
Miss, I brought you water.
Thank you.
Miss, you like eggs?
Why?
You never go out and never eat outside.
All you've been eating is eggs. It's not good for the digestion.
-Thanks for asking. -I better go.
That girl from the countryside has money for a single room but not for food.
Awesome.
I have found their entire code.
Too early to say so.
I believe there's more.
They are not so stupid
to send the entire code in one go.
That's true.
It's okay.
Continuing in this direction should lead you to more clues.
Division Director Aoki,
do you think they will send the rest the same way?
It's hard to say.
But the incident in Qingpu dock
must be connected to the code.
You found clues?
Manna
to be good at our job,
you need to learn how to connect the dots.
Try to make something out of it.
Got it.
Chief Feng Manna
I hope you will learn fast and become an independent leader soon.
I'll let you take full charge of this case.
Find the rest of the code.
As for this egg,
Let's hand it to the Telecommunication Section.
Ask them to organize the code.
I won't let you down, Division Director.
The Special Agent Division asked us to report the confiscated items.
The Telecommunication Section has the longest list.
Let's have a look.
-Okay -Take this.
DONG XING INN
After organizing the code book,
she went to the designated place to pick up the radio transmitter.
She'd need to set up a new transmission site.
This would be Rouge's first individual mission in enemy territory.
SHA SHA SALON
ESTHER LUGGAGES
Buying a handbag?
No, I need a trunk.
We have many trunks, have a look.
I'd like an English-made small leather case, you have one?
English-made, that's trendy.
The case is a bit heavy, can you lift it?
I can as long as it looks good.
It's always good to have savvy customer.
-The right goods for the right people. -I'm Xiao.
Master Xiao from Zhujiazhen.
Let me bring you the case.
Could you refresh your memory?
Think about if you saw any others
carrying a basket of eggs near Qingpu Dock.
He could be with the one you shot dead.
There was one, but it was a girl.
She had a basket of eggs.
Girl? Was she pretty?
Quite pretty.
Is that her?
Yes, that's her.
You're here finally.
This is your case.
Nice, I'll take it.
Japanese radio test vehicles often pass by here.
Be careful.
Don't worry.
Look carefully.
You know her?
-That's her. -Don't be a smart-ass.
It's the other one.
No, I don't.
Again.
-Beat him up. -Gag his mouth.
So he can't bite his tongue.
-Miss, let me help. -No, thanks.
I'll hold it myself.
Miss, don't lie to me.
Everyone fled to the French Concession.
You must have gold in there.
Hop on.
I wouldn't be riding your rickshaw if I had gold.
-Miss, where to? -Dongxing Inn.
Sure.
Not feeling well?
I'm fine.
I simply don't like his groaning.
You better go to my place to rest a bit.
Drink it slowly.
Rouge will escape if I'm slow.
You...
-really hate her that much? -Yes.
If not for her...
I wouldn't have had to witness my mom jumping off this window.
Watching my dad's dead body fall in front of me.
Manna.
Seeing your pain...
gives me pain.
You're a pretty girl.
You should stay away from that gruesome chamber.
You think so?
Isn't that my responsibility?
I care for you.
Make him speak if you care for me.
How can I find Rouge if he refuses to talk?
How can I avenge my parents?
Manna, you're pushing yourself too hard.
You need to relax.
I had a dream last night.
My hands were covered in blood.
I couldn't wash it away.
Third, help me...
Louder.
She's at Dongxing Inn.
Why didn't you say it earlier? Master.
-Report to Chief Feng now. -Yes, sir.
Let me go...
Are you okay?
-I'm sorry. -It's okay, let's go.
Stop.
SHA SHA SALON
Miss, perming your hair?
No, I only want a wash.
Sure, no problem.
First wear this cape.
Wait a moment.
Miss, don't move.
The soap is running into your ears and eyes.
DONG XING INN
Go!
Go in.
When did she leave?
I'm not sure, either 6 or 7.
Do you know where she went?
I don't.
But she was dressed up with make-up.
I think I have to go now.
Hey, miss.
There's soap all over your hair, how can you leave?
I'll make it quick.
SHA SHA SALON
Miss, don't. There's always a way out.
But not this.
Chief, you want to perm your hair?
Miss Rouge, whom we're looking for, likes to be groomed.
The Salon is one of her favorite places to visit.
Go.
Welcome.
Do you want a haircut or perming?
Turn over.
Madam, that is my wife.
She's deaf, she can't hear you.
Let me tell her.
Bugger off.
Reporting.
Chief, Inspector Zhou is here.
Thank you for visiting.
I didn't know she was a suspect.
Sir.
You can't catch Lan Rouge if you act so boldly.
What should I do?
Leave two people to monitor the inn and dismiss the rest.
Remember, the main task is to get the code.
Lan Rouge's not the goal.
Your priorities are wrong.
Newspaper for sale.
Read today's paper.
-Newspaper for sale. -Stop.
Newspaper for sale, read today's paper.
-What's wrong? -Newspaper for sale.
-Is this Bailey Road? -Yes.
Why are the Japanese here?
Newspaper for sale.
That's the Special Operations Office.
-Special Operations Office? -Right.
The former Logistic Department Chief's mansion is occupied by the Japanese.
It's now the Special Operations Office.
Newspaper for sale.
-Buy some candy for me. -Okay.
-Little boy, come here. -Yes?
-I'll take one. -Here.

SHANGHAI SPECIAL OPERATION OFFICE OFFICIAL LETTER
Our main clue still depends on what can be decoded.
There's usually two ways of coding.
The first one is to compose based on the code book.
The other one is to use mathematics and sequence.
For the first method, they only need
to deliver new code book and interpretation booklet.
And the second one?
For the second one they only need to send in password.
You studied math at Central University.
I was always the top student.
Then let's see what you can do.
Rouge thought danger could serve a camouflage.
She transmitted right next to the Special Operations Office.
Who would have thought
the new German equipment in the Special Operations Office
provided a much higher detection rate.
Transmission frequencies from the entire city could be detected.
Reporting.
Come in.
Chief, a radio signal was found by the Communication Department.
Nothing still.
The transmitting time was too short to get connected.
That's strange.
Our radio test vehicle can usually
detect signals in a split second.
This time...
we detected nothing.
Shall we relocate the vehicle?
Drive to the French Concession.
Yes, sir.
It's over.
SHANGHAI SPECIAL OPERATION OFFICE OFFICIAL LETTER
-How's it going? -Captain, this is from Rouge.
She activated the new code.
-Decode this now. -Yes, sir.
Any progress?
Supper is here.
Oh...
So many people? I haven't got enough.
Here you go.
Duck neck.
Thanks.
Inspector, any other instructions?
Division Director Aoki learnt about the Telecommunication Section great work.
He sent me over
to see if you need help from the Special Agent Division.
This is a coded transmission.
Even the Special Agent Division can't crack it.
Perhaps we can interpret a word.
Impossible, nothing matches.
Either we get the entire code,
or we derive a pattern from what we do have.
Or else we cannot read the transmission.
I spent the whole afternoon on this,
I found nothing.
Inspector Zhou said
the code is written using mathematics and sequence.
He suggested that I calculate the pattern.
Inspector Zhou is so knowledgeable
Manna is a math genius.
I only had suggestion. The actual execution depends on her.
Done interpreting.
Uncle, out of stock in town.
When will the supply channel continue delivering?
Urgent, Qiu.
What does it mean?
Zhang Guosheng failed to deliver?
Rouge is at risk, she has to leave.
Zhang might have been caught.
-Send a transmission. -Okay.
Quickly rent another warehouse.
Delivery arrives tomorrow.
Another transmission.
Send a radio test vehicle and expand the range.
SHANGHAI POLICE SPECIAL OPERATIONS OFFICE
The signal is strong.
Why can't our vehicle detect her location?
It's strange.
The signal's gone.
How about that,
I'll continue decoding,
you stay here to help monitor.
Hang on.
Don't work too hard.
That's nothing.
Something's wrong.
By the time the vehicle is out, the signal's gone.
It's like she's been notified.
Any other findings?
Mr. Zhou
rarely intervenes with Special Operations Office's work.
He's suddenly enthusiastic.
He persuaded an amateur like Manna to interpret the code.
He even stepped into the Telecommunication Section's work.
His passion is excessive.
Is any of his interference
unrelated to Manna?
None so far.
Division Director,
you think he wants to impress Manna?
Zhou Yuhao is a strong person.
He's an invaluable talent.
We ought to be extra careful.
Send two more to monitor him.
See if he's in touch with outsiders.
Yes, sir.
Moved out of the old address. Interim warehouse now at 172 Bailey Road.
Delivery to this place tomorrow.
You're right, Zhang Guosheng might have betrayed us.
The other half of the code might be with the little Japanese.
Head, it's my fault.
I shouldn't have sent a rookie. I'd sacrifice myself to protect the code.
I'll never let the Japanese get our code.
How can you be blamed?
I agreed to send him, I'm responsible too.
This set of code has a unique combination.
Let's hope they don't have a decoding master.
I'll meet Rouge myself tomorrow.
You'll be in charge when I'm away.
Head, you're the chief commander.
-If you go, I-- -That's enough.
Nanjing has fallen.
The situation is getting grimmer.
What's our mission?
Promptly restore the Shanghai communication station.
QIU IS LOOKING FORWARD TO UNCLE'S DELIVERY TO NEW WAREHOUSE TOMORROW
Okay, got it.
Radio test vehicle failed yet again to locate the station.
Lan Rouge knows how to be invisible?
Inspector Zhou, this is the route of our vehicle.
Please suggest to us
where to go when they transmit again.
Inspector, found something?
It's not so easy.
I forgot my cigarettes.
-You can have mine. -Not your brand.
Zhou Yuhao deduced that the only blind spot would be
Bailey Road in front of the Special Operations Office.
Rouge would be found sooner or later.
He would have to tell Rouge at once
without exposing his identity.
