Heipi, now go!
Rouge, answer if you hear me.
Rouge.
Pa, stay away.
Rouge, come here now.
Pa.
Don't move!
Pa, you go in first.
Tell me.
Is it true?
Tell me. Is it true?
Boss, go ahead and shoot. Don't hesitate!
It's true.
Rouge...
Boss, now run!
Boss, run now!
Rouge, my Rouge!
To take revenge by...
abusing your public position of power.
I can't believe you did this.
I didn't.
I should tear your badge off.
You don't deserve it.
Lan Rouge confessed.
Based on her rank, she wouldn't have had more information.
So, she's no longer--
If you killed Lan Rouge,
what will Lan Changming do?
He'll take revenge against us.
No!
Lan Changming will only blame the enemy and work even closer with us.
You're blinded by hatred.
You are foolish, but Lan Changming has sense.
I only needed her to finish her task.
Was it done then?
I've been instructed to report to Hsinking.
While I'm away,
I need a complete breakthrough on the Communist Party investigation.
If...
things are the same when I return...
We have better candidates available who can replace you.
The safety of Lan Rouge
will be up to Inspector Zhou from now on.
You're forbidden to get close to her.
Rouge is dead.
Who did it?
Boss did.
He fired the gun.
Dead for real?
A bullet through her temple, can she survive that?
Everyone saw it.
Nonsense!
Acting without seeking approval.
Don't you know our rules?
Time was too short to report.
I was asking him.
She admitted it right to my face.
You two get out.
Yes, sir.
She's a traitor.
Punishment was necessary.
That was murder.
I am not certain...
that she is dead.
When I fired the gun,
my hand was shaking.
Now ask your wife to use any means to check
if she's dead.
You said not to involve her?
She's involved already.
I said we all have to be ready to make sacrifices for Lan Rouge at any time.
Instead of letting Lan Rouge make sacrifices for us.
What?
People of your rank
shouldn't know too much.
Don't cry.
Don't worry.
-How is she? -Doctor?
Say it.
The bullet flew at her temple and caused a severe concussion.
Our tests reveal that she sustained only superficial injuries.
No bleeding in her skull, pressure is normal.
Thank god, she's alright.
When will she wake up?
That I cannot say.
Her case is unique.
She could wake up at any time,
or she keeps on sleeping.
Rouge.
Miss Lan, you cannot go in.
Please.
God of mercy.
Please guide Rouge
back from her misfortune.
Amen.
Who's that?
Song Mian.
What happened?
Why did you get so drunk?
-What happened? -Nothing.
Get up.
You're hurt?
What happened?
I kept washing...
I washed so many times
but it's still unclean.
Let me treat your wound.
Leave me alone!
I killed her.
What?
I killed Rouge.
It's impossible.
Tell me it's not true.
It's true.
I killed her.
-Tianmu. -Impossible.
Help me.
Pray for His mercy.
Pray for me.
Pray for mercy.
Dear Lord.
Please tell me...
What should I do?
What is happening to them?
What is going on?
While everyone was waiting for Rouge to wake up,
a mass arrest of the Shanghai Underground Party
was being actively plotted.
TO: ZHENG AGUI
Dear uncle, Hope everything is well.
been a while since I last wrote.
I wish you good health and all the best.
Take care, your nephew
Master.
Check if you have a record of Changtai Trading.
-Now? -Yes.
Just monitor them if the record is found. Don't alert them.
Okay.
CHANGTAI TRADING
CLOSED FOR STOCK-TAKING
CHANGTAI TRADING
Let's go.
-Any updates? -No.
We've been watching day and night
but have seen no one.
Are they gone?
You saw it?
No.
Watch carefully, even if you haven't found anything yet.
This is an order from Chief.
Hello?
Sir.
Master's men are watching Changtai Trading.
Oh?
Could be a communist base.
You know anything about this trader?
The company owner's called Mou.
He's in the hardware business, we've met before.
One more thing.
According to traders who are close to Mou,
Changtai Trading recently received many fake banknotes.
Possibly cheated by Jinxin Bank.
It's getting complicated and is related to the Communist Party.
Sir, if we catch Mou first,
whether it's about the Communist Party or fake bank notes,
You have got their number,
meaning everyone has to listen to your order.
Let's do it.
BOSS MOU CHINESE COMMUNIST UNDERGROUND PARTY
CHANGTAI TRADING
Someone's here!
They went in.
You keep watching here.
Yes, sir.
CHANGTAI TRADING
Chief.
Found anything?
No.
I heard this trader shut down for some time ago.
A sign is hung outside.
It means he planned to come back that day.
The door is closed although he's inside.
He must be plotting to escape.
Could be.
Arrest him.
Hang on.
Perhaps he has more pals coming.
Who's that?
Mr. Mou, your order is here.
There's a car.
Why park here?
-Make him go. -Yes, sir.
You--
Don't speak.
The car is gone.
Chief, it seems strange.
Wait a bit for the big fish.
Mou, do you remember me?
XU XIANG RESTAURANT
Chief, the big fish is here.
Who's knocking?
I don't know.
I do.
You're a communist and he's here to pass on some information.
CLOSED FOR STOCK-TAKING
He flipped the sign.
That's suspicious.
-Get him? -Hang on!
Mou.
Get them.
Go!
-Uncle! -Are you crazy?
-Wang, you crazy? -Shut up!
Wang, why are you here? What's going on?
He shot like crazy and killed my man.
Screw you, Wang.
You set me up?
Now run!
-Get them! -Uncle!
Get them!
This way.
Get them.
Cuff him!
Sir, why arrest me?
Why run if you didn't do anything?
I saw guns and I ran.
Don't you dare to run again.
-Communist Party. -Don't scare me.
-Take him! -Go!
-No, I-- -Quick.
ENJI HOSPITAL
Inspector, sorry to interrupt.
The Action Team is on a mission
but they angered Chief Feng.
Can you talk to her?
So there's someone talking sense
in front of Division Director Aoki.
I won't get involved.
Somehow we're all involved now.
Changes need to be made to The Special Operations Office.
So it all depends on you.
Don't worry, I have enough people.
We will look after Lan Rouge.
Just count how many hairs she has
and count again when you're back.
You're putting me at risk.
Let's go.
-Chen Jialun. -Uncle.
Heipi, Eight.
Have you no shame?
Cut it out.
What happened?
Ask him.
The Action Team was making an arrest,
but Master also went.
He fired first and killed one of our men.
Our man was killed?
Don't pretend.
Bullshit.
Chief Feng, tell me.
Bring him here.
Go.
Who's that?
A communist.
A communist?
To catch him,
you hurt your men and killed Captain Chen's man.
Why didn't you report to me or the Special Agent Division first?
I'm sorry, Inspector Zhou.
When the tip-off came,
there was no time to report to you, Inspector Zhou.
LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY
Alright.
Got it.
Division Director Aoki will fly here from Hsinking to handle this.
You better take a statement from the suspect tonight.
The Recon Unit should interrogate the suspect, they caught him.
-Our brother is now dead. -He was just useless.
You just need to get an oral statement, the superior will then judge impartially.
The arrest of Li Jie placed Zhou Yuhao in a critical position.
He had to dismantle all ticking time bombs as quickly as possible.
Most urgently, he had to help radioman Chun leave Shanghai Photo Studio at once.
A pack of Camel please.
-I need to make a call. -Okay.
SIX PHOTOS FOR 10 CENTS READY IN 4 HOURS
Shanghai Photo Studio.
Hello?
Hello, who is this?
Hello?
Sir, it's connected, why don't you speak?
Hello?
Wrong number.
Try again?
No, thanks.
Your cigarette.
-Keep the change. -Thanks.
PHOTO STUDIO
I'm picking up my photos.
Sorry, I'm in a rush.
Hey, it'll just take a minute. It's important.
The suspect is Li Jie, the owner of Shanghai Photo Studio.
He went to Changtai Trading the other day,
we also found invoices issued by the Studio.
It's right here.
It's suspicious.
-Go! -Yes, Madam!
We're too late.
He escaped in haste.
One escaped.
EMPLOYEE REGISTRATION JIN CHUN, MALE
He may not have connections in Shanghai.
Search all over, the dock and the station before dawn.
We must catch him.
Yes, Madam!
Looking for me?
Everyone's so busy, where were you?
What kept you?
We can transfer all tasks to the Special Agent Division tomorrow.
I want to conduct an interrogation before Aoki comes back.
We can't trust everything Miss Manna said.
I want to interrogate Li Jie. What do you say?
Don't put me in a difficult position.
You're an inspector.
When Aoki's back,
it's your duty to be able to answer his questions.
Interrogating Li Jie
is more important to you than to me.
Please do me a favor.
Okay.
Line up here.
Have your tickets ready.
Don't run.
Everyone freeze.
Chin up.
Take him.
Yes, Madam.
Captain Chen, Inspector Zhou.
Open the door.
What for?
We have to interrogate the prisoner.
Before Chief Feng left, she said
no one gets in
-before she's back. -Bullshit.
Tell me the truth and you'll stay alive.
What's your name?
Li Jie.
Who are you?
I own a studio.
You're communist?
I'm not.
How did you know Mou?
For business reasons.
Because of the counterfeit bills?
How did you get the counterfeit bills?
I don't know anything about counterfeit bills.
He passed out.
-Get some water. -Okay.
Let me go, I'll tell Chief Feng.
Release it.
Stay still.
Li.
Eat this and you will pass out after a heart attack.
They will send you to the hospital.
Your identity will be revealed.
We have no choice.
No, I'm your superior. Don't save me, this is an order.
You idiots couldn't watch him?
Kneel down.
Water is here.
How did Mou get the counterfeit bills?
I'm a photographer.
I know nothing about fake notes.
Jerk.
Raid Chun to find
evidence proving Li Jie is a communist.
Chief.
-He confessed? -No.
Captain Chen and Inspector Zhou forced their way in to interrogate the prisoner.
I knew Captain Chen'd have no shame, I'm surprised Inspector Zhou was with him.
I tried to stop them.
The locked me up and beat me.
That's enough.
Men don't cry.
Chief, you have to treat me fairly.
I will treat you fairly. Now leave.
Yes, Madam.
Mr. Li.
You have a visitor.
Bring him in.
Quick.
You know him?
Yes.
Forgive me. I didn't want to confess.
I couldn't bear it anymore.
You think...
this fellow who works for me...
knows some unspeakable secrets?
Yes.
You couldn't imagine
your employee at the counter
overheard your conversation.
According to him,
Shanghai Photo Studio is a unique contact point.
You usually contact only one guy.
He has a special status.
And...
he is in the Special Operations Office.
Am I right?
