Why?
Do not trust anyone.
Including me.
Remember.
Congratulations. You've passed your final test.
The world of a spy is full of lies.
Friends are not everlasting, Enemies are not permanent.
The only thing you can trust are your own convictions.
For this belief, you can point your gun at him,
at me, at your friends, even at your family.
The current war situation is quite against us.
Our superior personally came up with an undercover plan.
After intense screening, you are the only ideal candidate.
All your previous missions were designed to harden your will,
and to soften your edges.
Smile a bit.
Without the uniform, you are still uptight.
I brought you here to help you relax.
Why, something bothering you?
Tell me.
What is this?
It's for you.
Two Girls, again.
Don't you want to switch?
The British Hazeline is nice.
I'll try it later.
Manna.
You remember that rouge I used to have? I think I left it at your place.
I don't ever want to see this again.
What's the matter?
You really want me to be happy?
Of course.
Come along with me.
Why did you bring me here?
You know this place?
Lan Rouge's home.
My home is gone.
She ran away, but her home is still here.
Manna.
The history between Lan Rouge and you,
is personal.
Don't involve her family.
We are soldiers.
Soldiers have their rules.
Lan Rouge used me to kill my parents, did she care about rules?
Ever since Lan Rouge ran off,
I come by here.
Looking at the lights in her house.
I remind myself that,
this kind of life,
I had it once.
Forget about it.
Otherwise you can't move on.
I can't forget.
Even if you managed to take revenge, you would only be more miserable.
At least she would share this misery.
In her eyes, we are all traitors.
If her parents were to became traitors that everyone hates,
would it kill her? Would the enemies still trust her?
Whose idea is that?
Ordered by Special Agent Division.
Director, I have a question.
Go ahead.
What were our superior's specific instructions?
We already got the real code into the French Concession.
All thanks to you guys this time.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be that easy to get the real code in.
On such an important matter they wouldn't trust it a few newbies with it.
Smith is a playboy.
He associates with all kinds of people.
You wouldn't believe how many people have seen this code.
They could have kept copies.
This code, its security level is too low.
At most it will serve as a decoy.
For this important mission,
we've sacrificed two people. It was worth it.
Is Lan Rouge really that important?
She now has to complete a mission that only she is capable of.
Be prepared at all times.
In the future, all of us might have to sacrifice ourselves for her.
We don't need to use anything powerful. Grenades are good enough. Move fast.
Mainly to scare them.
Remember, no casualties allowed.
Yes.
Chief, what is the purpose of this?
You wait and see the show.
Help.
-Help. -Help.
What's going on here?
I don't know. Suddenly there was an explosion.
Why are you still here? Go help people.
Hurry. Hurry.
Hurry.
Hurry. Hurry.
I'm so sorry, everyone.
I apologize to everyone.
Regarding this incident...
the police are investigating it. We will get to the bottom of this.
This news story was printed upon my request.
-Zhu Cheng. -Yes.
Follow up on this story. Send someone to spread rumors in the street,
saying Lan Changming offended gangsters, and his enemies took revenge on him.
That Lan Changming is fleeing Shanghai. Jinxin Bank is about to close.
This is a wonderful plan, Chief.
Both he and Jinxin Bank will be ruined.
This isn't to ruin him. I want him to work with us.
Do as I say. When it's done, you will know why.
Yes.
Master, I heard Captain Chen is not clean.
Jialun.
I've been wanting to tell you something.
Jialun took advantage of his anti- smuggling duties, making a hefty profit.
Then send more guys to watch him for me. Anything comes up, let me know directly.
Yes.
Heipi.
-Yes. -Go see Captain Watanabe.
He's got two cases of props for us for this operation.
Bring those back without anyone's knowledge.
Yes, I will get it done.
-Give us our money. -Please listen to me, listen to me.
I'm the assistant manager at this bank.
I'm truly sorry.
We're experiencing difficulties with our accounts. You can withdraw this afternoon.
I am terribly, terribly sorry.
Saying sorry doesn't solve this.
He is obviously running off with our money.
Lan Changming is a fraud. He can't run off with our money.
Yes…
Let's find Lan Changming. Go.
Go…
Withdraw…
This is Changming.
You have to help me out here.
The stock you stored here, I've not touched it once.
But now I am…
The office is that way. Everyone, follow me.
They are about to break into my office.
If I can't produce their money,
they are going to tear me to pieces.
Manager Cao, your stock…
You absolutely cannot touch it.
Alright, I will bring you cash right away.
Okay, Thank you. Thank you.
Sir, you made a fortune.
This counterfeit money looks authentic.
You can tell the difference if you look carefully.
But let our guys go spend it.
Even if someone finds out, would they dare say anything?
All of a sudden, so much fake money comes into the market. Something's behind it.
Wang, the man that reported on this money,
what's his background?
I haven't found out yet.
But give me three days, I'm sure I can find out who it is.
Uncle Jialun, you really know how to enjoy life.
Hiding in such a quiet place.
And you never thought of visiting me.
Miss Manna. What are you doing here?
If I'd known you were coming I'd have waited at the door.
That can't be appropriate. Uncle Jialun is my elder. You don't make an elder wait.
I just heard that Uncle Jialun had rented a warehouse. So I came by to have a look.
Quite a lot of stuff here.
Raw opium.
Illicit drugs.
Wow, and so many antiques.
Wow, this must be worth a fortune.
Uncle Jialun, you are rich now.
No, no, no…
The Special Operations Office warehouse is too small for all this.
That's why our Action Team rented this one just for now.
But I heard that you rented a secret warehouse for yourself, Uncle Jialun.
And that you were going to divide the confiscated goods into two parts.
One part going to the Special Operations Office, officially accounted for.
While the other part was to be stored in a secret warehouse,
which is right here.
Who said that? Pure bullshit.
I figured they were probably making it up.
So you are saying, all this stuff is registered then?
The registration is almost complete.
-Right away. -Alright.
I will be straightforward with you then.
All this counterfeit money, I'm taking it.
Not only am I taking it, I also need a favor from you, Uncle Jialun.
Officers, please don't misunderstand.
This is an armored truck going to the Central Bank.
Here is our pass.
We have information that says you're transporting opium in this truck.
We need to search it. Everybody get off!
What are you doing?
Go ahead.
Yes.
Move, get down, get down. Hurry.
Move it.
Mr. Lan.
What is it now?
The Central Bank's truck's been stopped by the Special Operations Office Action Team.
What?
Move faster.
This was just a misunderstanding. Apologize to Manager Cao right away.
I'm very sorry.
Open the truck's rear door, let Manager Cao have a look.
I'm leaving then.
Sorry. Sorry.
Mr. Lan.
What's the latest?
The truck has arrived.
Fake money.
Our bank would never have fake money.
Here. Show me, show me.
Fake money.
Look… Come over and look.
This bill is a bit weird.
Jinxin Bank is dispensing fake money.
Fuck you, have you no conscience?
Did a dog eat Lan Changming's conscience?
This will ruin our lives!
Stop, you get down right now.
Jinxin Bank is tricking us with fake money, and now they're beating us.
Go get the president, Lan Changming.
Go, go, go. Go get Lan Changming.
Cao, why is the money counterfeit?
It must be Chen Jialun.
Mr. Lan, you have to think of something to do.
What to do, what to do.
No, you have to explain to everyone for me.
Oh my brother, it's too late too late, that won't work now. You have to run.
How can I do that?
Everyone… Let's talk, let's talk it out.
Forget about talking.
Look at this. You too. Our money is all gone.
-Let me explain. -You are so rude.
-Beat him up. -Punch him, punch him.
Beat him up, beat him.
Beat…
Tianmu, How is he now?
He's suffered an intracranial hemorrhage. But he is stable now.
Aunty, don't worry too much. I believe Uncle will wake up.
Okay.
Madam, I will leave now.
Go ahead.
Special Operations Office.
Lan Changming was dispensing fake money, and was severely injured by customers.
Now, anger is spreading among the people.
The government wants to make sure you are safe.
So they sent us to guard him.
That's not necessary.
What are you doing?
You sit down.
This doesn't concern you.
The government is thinking of you.
Counterfeiting money should earn you a bullet in the head.
Many people received counterfeit money from your bank.
Some killed themselves out of desperation.
Everyone wants to come kill you.
Besides.
Your daughter has no conscience anymore, she's now a spy for the puppet government,
disturbing public order.
So many people are dying to teach you a lesson.
I am warning you, this a church hospital. Don't stir things up here, get out.
Stop!
Apologize.
Chief, she was interfering.
I'm sorry.
She's talking to you.
Shut up.
Aunty, call me anytime. I'll be at the nurse's station.
Okay.
Stick to official business only. Don't concern yourself with anything else.
Yes.
Kindness or hatred, I distinguish them clearly.
It wasn't kindness.
I was simply fulfilling my sacred duty.
Thank you,
for saving me when I was helpless as a rat.
As a nurse, I would do it again.
But as a Chinese person, I regret it now.
The old Feng Manna is dead.
She died with her parents.
Manna, no matter what happened to you,
it's never an excuse to hurt people.
This is my card.
As Song Mian's wife, you'd probably get into a lot of trouble.
But no matter when you come to me,
I will always help you.
Feng Manna Shanghai Police Station Special Operations Office
ENJI HOSPITAL
Why are you here?
You brought half of the Special Operations Office, but not me.
It's no big deal, we can handle it.
Such an obvious trap, you think she'll go for it?
It might not work for someone else. But it will work on Lan Rouge, for sure.
Even if it did, her superior would never let her jump into it like this.
She will find her way.
Because she always thinks she's the only smart one, everyone else is an idiot.
Let's go, let's put the news into all the papers.
Slow down, slow down.
Are you alright?
Changming, who did you provoke so that they needed to take such revenge?
It's about Rouge.
Manager Cao's cash-in-transit truck
got stopped by the Special Operations Office, right?
They are sworn enemies of the Shanghai Liaison Unit.
I think they are trying to lure our daughter out.
JINXIN BANK CIRCULATED COUNTERFEIT MONEY LAN CHANGMING BEATEN, CONDITION UNKNOWN
STAND BY
Zhou Yuhao knew this was a trap set by Special Agent Division.
But he wasn't sure if reckless Rouge would fall for it.
He decided to take the initiative, and rescue Lan Changming
The intel you brought last time is very important. It's unsafe to send cryptogram.
I plan on going back to the base myself. And I will bring a transceiver.
Now you are handling everything alone, it's too risky.
Before you leave,
-do me a favor? -Sure.
I need a rifle, a telescope, one bullet, and a some nitroglycerin.
For what?
-Help someone run away. -Who?
Lan Changming.
Why?
He is Lan Rouge's father. He should be rescued by the Nationalist Party.
He is a patriotic banker.
The Special Operations Office turned on him to send a warning to other bankers.
Besides, their trap is ready, they're only waiting for Lan Rouge to jump in.
If Lan Rouge falls for it, Chong Qing will be damaged.
That's not good for us.
I understand all that.
-But you've saved that girl many times. -I want to bring her over.
She is really talented, and she is kind. She should become one of us.
Is that possible?
Why not?
Alright, let's say you are saving her, thinking of the big picture.
You still shouldn't risk exposing yourself.
I won't, just bring me what I need.
Okay, tomorrow after six in the afternoon,
they will be in the third garbage bin at the south Garden Bridge.
Wait, the nitroglycerin, please send it into Enji Hospital.
I know you have an insider there, I won't ask who it is.
Just place the nitroglycerin
inside Lan Changming's bathroom while he is cleaning up.
Director Wan.
Comrade Lan Rouge, your real mission is about to begin.
That mission is to go undercover.
You're to go undercover inside the Special Operations Office.
Then get into the high levels of the Special Agent Division.
What do I do?
The enemy will set up traps, for you to get caught in.
Just go for it, pretending to be the old reckless Lan Rouge.
Let them catch you without knowing the truth, and then gain their trust.
Would I still be alive by then?
For sure.
Feng Manna is not willing to kill you.
More than anything, she wants to catch you. So she can torture you.
The ordeal you are about to go through is inhuman.
But trust me, you will make it through.
Even if I make it through,
why would they believe me?
You are simple, honest and straightforward.
Actually you are the worst candidate for an undercover operation.
And you'd never defect.
But from the other side,
that's why your apostasy is trustworthy.
You have great talent for espionage,
both us and them, are well aware of that.
A talent like you,
they'd rather use that than to destroy it.
I can't do it.
No one else can do it.
Comrade Lan Rouge.
The agents we planted within enemy territory are all dead.
Now our army is deaf, and blind.
What about the enemy?
They have agents all over our army and our agencies.
You are our last chance.
Promise me.
This was kept for me.
If we can't wait for victory,
each one of us has to be prepared to accept our destiny.
What do I do?
Remember two addresses.
142 Qi Mei Road, 39 Hua De Road.
Both are abandoned stations, all staff has been transferred.
You can give them these addresses when needed, so they will trust you.
You will receive further instructions when the time is right.
I will find ways to get in touch.
Who else knows about this?
Only you and me.
We will send you information through the newspaper tomorrow.
Song Mian will come meet you, and decide how to rescue your father.
