SHANGHAI POLICE STATION SPECIAL OPERATIONS OFFICE
Back up!
Okay!
Follow me to where the bodies are.
Hurry.
Hang on.
Go ahead.
This is the situation.
This is Chen Jialun's testimony.
Miss Manna, what are you telling me...
seems like...
it should be the Special Agent Division's responsibility.
What does it have to do with me?
I only want to know where the printing plates are.
Chen Jialun escaped through the sewer.
The Special Operation Team might have stolen the plates
and delivered it to the National Salvation Association.
It's just a possibility.
So you two...
have five days’ time.
But you have already wasted five days.
I don't want to listen to your lame excuses.
This incident has been reported to Chief Doihara.
Which means you still have 120 hours left.
You don't even want the 120 hours?
Sorry, sir.
We will do our best.
Oshima is such a hypocrite.
He lent out the printing plates to impress a lady
and now he wants the Special Agent Division to take responsibility.
What shall we do?
Have everyone in the Special Operations Office continue searching.
Utilize the Office's force,
seal off every station and pier in Shanghai
until the printing plates are found.
What if we can't find it?
Then...
eliminate every single person in the Special Operations Office.
Chinese are not trustworthy after all.
I won't let anyone escape.
As for you and me, we'll apologize to Headquarters.
Let's plan for the worst.
Please wait!
We are now under lock down by orders of the Special Agent Division.
No one is allowed to leave.
For what reason?
Miss Lan, please understand that we have to execute the new order.
And you need to report if you need to buy anything.
There's someone handling all purchases.
Come back with me. Don't stay here.
-Close the gate. -Yes, sir.
Please.
Mr. Zhou...
I've always been courteous to you.
You could say I even spoiled you.
If you have anything to say, please be straight with me.
I'm doing this because I value your talent.
But I value my life more.
I don't understand.
We've investigated your previous time in Dongbei.
Your file is almost empty.
Do I need to repeat to you?
No need.
I don't care.
I also don't care how Director Chen and Captain Wang died.
All I care about is the printing plates.
Five days.
We only have five days’ time.
If in these five days...
we can't find the printing plates,
the Special Agent Division, the Special Operations Office,
everyone...
will be executed.
Saving everyone...
is saving myself.
Mr. Zhou...
I know you can do it.
I'll do my best.
But if it's going to end,
no one escapes.
I found it.
Are the printing plates there?
No, it's empty.
Keep searching, it must be there.
This is what I need to buy, but the purchase was denied.
-Can you help? -Come in first.
You have transferred the printing plates and the film?
-Have you sent them out? -Yes.
But all communication is blocked. They have no way to receive it.
Everywhere is being closely monitored.
We can only wait for people from the outside to get in touch.
They doubled the security level. the Japanese can't hold it anymore.
We don't have much time left.
Our superiors sent us a last message.
There are three orders:
First, the Shanghai Liaison Unit lost the plates by mistake
and we have to get it back.
Second, continue to support Lan Rouge's undercover work.
Third, assassinate Aoki Takeshige.
How is it possible?
Wan Zhichao had no path to retreat.
His long term struggle with the enemy had caused
the Shanghai Liaison Unit many casualties
And now, these orders were the last straw for the Shanghai Liaison Unit.
To place the final chess piece in the enemy's headquarters,
Wan Zhichao came up with a bold plan.
His plan was to bring turmoil to the Shanghai Liaison Unit.
That would require many sacrifices.
Wan Zhichao would also participate in the plan.
The Shanghai Liaison Unit will be in your hands from now on.
Is there no other way?
-There must be another way. -I told you.
All of us...
have to be ready to sacrifice ourselves for her.
Last time when you got back the two printing plates,
were you in touch with the Communist Party?
With so many witnesses, I believe in your innocence.
But you're now listed as a suspect.
We can never be friends with the Communist Party.
Complete the mission to prove your innocence.
Your I.D., please.
Cleared.
Next.
Cleared.
Your I.D., please.
UNITE TOGETHER TO FIGHT AGAINST THE JAPANESE
Take him! Don't move!
Come with us!
Where did you get this?
I don't talk to nobody like you. Let me talk to your chief.
Tell me now!
Qi Mei Road 142 and Hua De Road 39.
That's it. Report these two addresses.
I will only tell the rest to Ms. Lan Rouge from the Special Operations Office.
Come along, someone asked for you.
This old man said he will only talk to you.
Do you know him?
I said I wanted to talk to her alone.
If you refuse my request, you won't get anything from me.
Why?
Why you?
Or else they wouldn't believe.
We don't have much time and there's a lot to memorize.
Listen carefully.
Wan Zhichao explained to Rouge all the details of his plan.
Right down to timing, possible mishaps and contingency plans.
It was all well thought and planned,
but Rouge felt
the plan was just a last desperate fight attempt.
It was very heroic, but hopeless.
Rouge understood the ultimate objective
was to protect her undercover mission in the Special Operations Office.
Wan Zhichao would be the first to sacrifice himself for the goal.
We have another man in this police station.
A chubby guy in his 40s with a big mole under his left eyebrow.
When you're out, relay this message to him.
Future instructions for you will be posted on China Daily's missing person column.
If someday you feel too desperate,
go to Xinglong Warehouse in Shiliupu Dock to look for someone called Su Ada.
Tell him you're a relative of Uncle Wan and he will help you escape.
This was my way out plan and nobody knows about it but you.
What if I fail?
Then I will be known as a traitor forever.
is it worth it?
Accomplish a mission is the only thing that matters to an agent.
He is Wan Zhichao, the Unit Director of the Shanghai Liaison Unit, .
What does he want?
Safety.
Why he talked to you alone?
He doesn't trust you.
The grocery store in Zhi Chun Alley and the bar at MGM club.
He will only tell the rest to the highest ranking officer of the Secret Service.
We have another man in this police station.
A chubby guy in his 40s who has a big mole under his left eyebrow.
Miss Rouge, well done. That was splendid.
-Mr. Watanabe. -Division Director.
Accompany Miss Rouge to her room.
-We'll take care of the rest. -Yes, sir.
Let's go.
MORTUARY TRANSPORT VAN
Nice to meet you, Unit Director Wan.
We finally meet each other.
I'm glad we meet in this manner.
You can go on with your work. It's only a change of work space.
Jessfield Road 76.
Many of your colleagues used to work there.
My hometown is in Henan.
It was hunger that led me to become a soldier.
I fought all the way from the Central Plain to here. It was so dangerous.
After leaving the Army, ironically, I joined the secret agency. .
I'm too unskillful for that.
I can never be as good as people so well-trained like you.
Failure always has its cause.
In other words...
if an organization over emphasizes the importance of loyalty,
it is doomed to fail.
Now, it's all your call since you're the winner.
Good.
Let's talk about things that are beneficial to you and to us.
-Hasn't Rouge told you? -Those are nothing.
We want the big fish.
Unit Director Wan...
where are the printing plates?
Can you catch a big fish in this place?
Only tiny shrimps swim here.
Then where do you think is the best place to start with?
Wan Guo Hotel.
This is Gongdelin Restaurant's menu.
Go there and order the ham and crab roe, and the Buddha's Delight.
He's still so stuck-up.
Just let him play bossy.
I still can't understand.
How would a senior special agent like him sell out his men?
An agent has human weakness no matter how senior he is.
There's no point for him to be stubborn.
Unit Director Wan...
can we talk about your request?
Send all my family to Hong Kong. Once I confirm they are safe,
put 100 pieces of gold into my Citibank account.
What do we get in return for such a big offer?
The printing plates that you want.
It will be sent out from Shanghai in two days.
You will receive a message
through the missing person column of the China Daily News.
Two days is not enough to deliver all that you requested.
Do what you please. I'm in no rush.
What day is it today?
September 27, Friday.
Tonight at 9:25, one of my connections
will be by the pillar to the right of Wan Guo Hotel.
You will know if my information holds true.
Who is that?
A Chongqing liaison officer in Beijing and Shanghai. He works with me.
WAN GUA HOTEL
Is Lan Rouge really so important?
There is a mission that can only be done by her.
Be ready.
We might all need to sacrifice ourselves for her someday.
You idiots! He's up there.
Damn! He hasn't told us anything yet.
Missing person column on the China Daily News?
I'll make a call.
Kobayashi? It's me. I'll see you at the same old place.
What's going on?
Are you mad?
Your face is known to so many, don't you know that?
If the Special Operations Office suddenly sneaks out to catch me,
will you still stay by my side?
Nonsense.
Let's go.
What's up with you today?
We've never had a proper meal together ever since we're together.
Here.
I don't care about this sort of thing.
It's been a while since we got married.
I owe you this.
Suffering now is for a better future, right?
You're right.
Will you be glad if we can enjoy the future happiness now?
We are leaving this place.
Leaving Shanghai, the war and everything.
-When? -Now.
Now?
How can it be possible? The children and the priest are in the church.
-I have things to settle. -Just be with me.
I dragged you into our world.
I can finally make up for it all.
Our car is here, let's go.
Waiter.
Check please.
Sir.
-Keep the change. -Thanks.
-Her coat. -Let me.
Let's go.
Japanese?
Kobayashi is genuine Japanese.
Our deal is done and you said we'd never meet again.
Just do your old pal a favor.
We're not friends at all. Don't force me.
Then treat is as an extra deal.
Key for Jinxin Bank locker 129.
Take us out of Shanghai.
Belongings in the locker will belong to you.
Kobayashi, killing takes courage. It doesn't suit you.
Start the car.
Yes!
Open the gate!
Kobayashi is the top-ranking embassy secretary.
The Special Agent Division and Kempeitai have no right to search embassy vehicles.
Don't worry.
Take this.
Go to the written address at once.
How about you?
There's a mission waiting for me. I'll meet you once it's done.
Just go.
The bible tells the wives to obey their husbands.
The bible also asks husbands not to break their promises.
I won't.
Now go!
