JINXIN BANK PUDONG BRANCH
I'd like to meet your manger.
-Miss, please have some tea. -Thanks.
Your husband didn't come along?
He is too busy today, so he asked me to represent him.
NATIONAL SALVATION ASSOCIATION CONTACT. PRESIDENT, PUDONG BRANCH.
Okay, you or him, makes no difference. I will call headquarters right now.
Hello.
One moment, please.
Hello. Speaking.
No problem, of course. I will add 600,000 Yuan for you.
Don't worry, it'll arrive before noon.
Manager Zhu, the Pudong Branch just called,
saying that they are closing on a few big deals and they need more cash.
So we have to bother you again.
No problem, this is my job.
Director, Pudong Branch just called, asking to raise the cash amount.
Lan Changming granted 600,000 more. It's being sent over soon.
-Has this ever happened before? -It has, not often though.
Interesting, Lan Rouge just disappeared mysteriously last night.
And then you saw a person who looked like her leaving the bank this morning.
That means she was inside the bank the entire night.
And now Pudong Branch is asking to raise the amount of available cash.
What do you think is behind all this?
Director, you think they are hiding something in the cash?
What do you think?
All the cash is in the vault. One key is with me, the other is with Lan Changming.
We both have to be there to open the door. It would be very hard to get around that.
Do as he says for now.
-Let him arrange it. I will be there soon. -Yes.
Miss Rouge, let's go for a ride.
It's a joint operation with both the Recon Unit and the Intelligence Department.
Director Zhou and Director Feng are both waiting downstairs.
Joint operation?
Yes, so you can see what we've achieved. We've been busting our ass for it.
Who's the big fish that requires so many fishermen?
After the operation, I will invite everyone,
to eat puffer fish.
Watch Lan Rouge closely.
CENTRAL BANK
Manager, it's all loaded.
Manager Zhu, you can go now.
Wait a second, count them again.
I've been watching them count them, it's 15 cases all together.
I thought I saw 16 cases?
Director Feng.
Welcome, welcome.
Director Zhou, Miss Lan also came.
What's the big occasion today?
Is it payday today? With everyone is here in front of the bank.
Director Feng, what… What is this all about?
Uncle Lan, let me be direct. I suspect this money is not normal.
You arranged all this money yourself, and it was provided by the Central Bank.
And Manger Zhu was in charge of each delivery, what could go wrong with it?
If it's not the money itself, it is something else.
Dad, have you got a chair? It's tiring to stand like this.
-Sure. -Wait.
Everyone is standing here right now. Please bear with us for a bit longer.
Then you'd better hurry.
Master, Sheng, search every single case.
This is your big fish?
Master, the last two.
Dad, watch it closely. Don't let them blame it on you if any money goes missing.
Rouge grew up watching tons of cash, you are probably bored of this.
I have never seen so much money.
Since it's a joint operation, I will count this last one.
Director Zhou, you've got such noble hands.
Money is filthy, let us servants handle this chore.
Master.
Let Director Zhou count it, I'm watching.
How much per case?
-Forty thousand. -Forty thousand takes a while.
Exactly forty thousand.
Seems like it's quite difficult to catch anything besides cash from a bank.
Would you like to recheck it?
The watermarks are a bit blurry. Could it be counterfeit?
Bullshit.
Chen Jialun said, counterfeit bills are usually mixed up with real ones.
What is he? Slanders others for his own profit. You think everyone is like that?
Have you counted enough?
If not, you can go down to the vault of the bank.
There's a larger amount down there.
Director Feng, our branch is still waiting.
Load them up.
You escort it, tell Heipi to send someone to watch near the bank.
Yes.
CENTRAL BANK
Director Feng, anything else you'd like to search?
Since Miss Rouge said to, please take us to the vault to see this big amount then.
Feng Manna, this is your joint operation?
Seeing all this cash just for fun.
At the end, you only get a few thin bills for your salary.
Isn't it tiring?
If there's nothing else, we should return. Director Feng, we are quite busy.
-Dad, I'll be home for pig-knuckle soup. -Okay.
-Do you still need me here? -Not really.
Watch them.
Uncle Lan, the vault. Let's go.
What's in the case?
-Printing plates. -For counterfeit money.
When shanghai was occupied,
this set of Ten Yuan printing plates didn't get sent out.
This set has four plates, they have two of them.
That's why the fake money they print has a lot of flaws.
They can only issue a small sum, mixing counterfeit bills with real ones.
The other two plates were on the bottom of the case you inspected.
Do your guys know the operation is exposed?
I have no idea.
Where is the receiving person?
At Pudong Branch.
They must be tracking this cash.
What do we do?
Go back to work.
Everyone is watching you now. You can't do anything about it.
-I know. -Let me do it.
Here are newspapers for the past month from the enemy occupied area.
Please analyze and categorize all news, and have a report for me before you leave.
Liang, it's me.
The Intelligence Department is working late.
You take my car later,
go to Laodachang Bakery at Jessfield Park, get them some sandwiches and cakes.
Okay.
CENTRAL BANK 017
Manager Zhu, thank you for your work.
-Any problems with this delivery? -No, no.
We had a little mishap, sorry for making you wait.
-Come over. -Thank you.
CHONGQING NEWS
Rickshaw.
Sir.
-Pudong. -Sure.
Follow him, not too close though.
Food is here.
Director Zhou knows you are too busy.
He asked me to buy you fresh pastries from Laodachang.
What a thoughtful director he is. What is he doing now?
He's been in the office all this time, that's all I know.
You guys keep at it then, I'm leaving.
-Bye. -Bye.
I know this woman.
She must be the receiver.
Tell everyone to spread out, but watch closely.
Do not let this contact run away.
-You keep watch here, you two follow me. -Yes.
Lin Tianmu had been exposed.
To keep the plates out of enemy hands,
there was only one option left.
Zhou Yuhao decided to risk everything.
You've been working hard, let me take over now.
How come? We didn't receive any notice from Director Feng.
-They didn't tell you? -No.
Please help me stop the stroller.
Go hide, give me the baby.
Save the baby first.
Both of you, drop your guns!
Drop them now!
Inspector Zhou, who are you exactly?
I'm counting to three.
You all drop your guns, or I will shoot her.
One.
Two.
Three.
Don't move.
Song Mian, he just saved my life.
He just wants the plates.
What do you want the plates for then?
They are state property.
I can't let the Japanese have our state property.
What about the people?
The baby in the stroller, and that woman.
Aren't they a part of our country also? Shouldn't you protect them too?
You didn't protect them.
Instead, you put them in danger, ready to sacrifice them.
-What are you protecting then? -Don't move.
If we would complete our missions with whatever means necessary,
then how are we different from them?
Are you a Communist?
I am Chinese.
And so are you.
Zhou Yuhao.
You've been exposed.
Keep our secret, it will benefit you.
Remember what you said today, we will meet again.
Good baby, no more crying.
Don't cry.
He was right before, it's too dangerous to use the baby as cover.
It's immoral.
Shh, don't cry.
But if the printing plates fell into Japanese hands,
they'd do something even more immoral.
Liang, it's me.
The Intelligence Analysis Department is working late tonight.
Go to Feng's Wonton to get wontons for everyone.
I'll reimburse you when you're back.
Smells so good, Director Zhou bought food for us again?
Yes.
-Did he eat? -I don't think so, his door's been closed.
-Hello? -Is the report done?
-Yes. -Bring it to me.
Okay.
It's done?
What's your guess?
Shouldn't you give me a little reward?
-How do you want me to reward you? -I'm hungry.
-I will buy you dinner then. -I gotta have something good.
-You pick the place. -Okay.
Great, we finally did our job.
When I met with Tianmu, a guy from the Special Operations Office found us.
I had to make a move. Many died.
As long as we were able to get these, killing anyone was worth it.
Project Puffer Fish is finally half done.
What's the other half?
We have to get the other two Feng Manna also took them.
Those were already sent to the Special Agent Division, how can we get them?
The Japanese have been issuing counterfeit money,
which means they've been using those plates.
Lan Rouge's next mission is to find them.
The Japanese lost so much this time, they must be even more alert.
We have to believe in our girl, she can achieve anything she puts her mind to.
Sir, twice-cooked pork… shouldn't it be made with green garlic?
There's only green onion here?
Green garlic is from Si Chuan, it can't get here.
In such turmoil and chaos of war, A bite of meat is already luxurious.
It's okay.
Sir, also no fermented beans?
Brother, fermented beans are also from Si Chuan. You are asking too much.
How is this twice-cooked pork?
Let me make it.
Sir, let me make it.
I will pay you the same, you can go rest.
What dish are you making?
My hometown dish.
-Smells wonderful. -Taste it.
What's it called?
Crispy pork, it's even better with rice.
So delicious.
You grew up in the Northeast eating this every day?
Only when during Spring Festival.
Later on, not even during Spring Festival,
rice was only supplied to the military.
Civilians were not allowed to eat it every day.
They couldn’t eat whatever grains they grew themselves?
Tell me more about yourself.
What do you want to know?
I want to know everything.
Just know that I am the same as you,
neither of us wants this country destroyed, that's enough.
COMMUNIST PARTY
I've heard a lot about you guys.
Each Communist they caught was always their biggest headache.
Because Communists have got the tightest mouths.
And Communists have got the strongest bones.
Why is that?
Because they know,
although they stand in darkness, it's light they are protecting.
Director.
Our brothers are all dead.
How accurate, each shot was fatal.
Any witnesses?
-Not yet. -Why not!
No one lives around here?
Not even one person saw anything?
Yes, we will keep looking.
Did you ask headquarters?
I've made the call.
Master said, Lan Rouge didn't leave the office all day.
And there are other people in the office. Master had been watching them.
-And Zhou Yuhao? -Also in the office all day. Just left.
Did he leave with Lan Rouge?
Yes.
Tomorrow morning,
I want to see witness testimonies and all bullets' analysis reports on my desk!
Yes.
Most merciful God, please allow me to make my confession.
I have sinned; I have blood on my hands.
I will never be able to go to heaven.
Please forgive me.
Tianmu.
You only did this because of me.
If anyone should go to hell, it's me.
Indeed, many people died today.
But we only did this to ensure more people can survive.
Stop it, as long as I'm with you,
to hell or to heaven, I will follow.
Tianmu.
Manna.
It's so late already, you still haven't gone home.
Tomorrow is Sunday. I came to make some preparations.
It's not safe in the streets now, you should be more careful being alone.
It's okay.
I follow the light, God will protect me.
It's dangerous to walk alone at night, do you know that?
A huge crime was committed today in Pudong. The scene was very bloody.
More than ten people were killed, each shot meant to kill.
Not a single person survived.
Do you think,
if I go inside now and ask God, God would tell me who the murderer is?
