Episode 16

I also feel so lucky

to have this chance to celebrate such a moment with you

At the last minute

Liang Tong decided to take back

this photo which was supposed to be a warning

Facing this mysterious woman

Liang Tong told himself to be cautious

and not to reveal any traces

Perhaps a little mistake

would beget serious consequences

It's 9:10 now

MacArthur continued to announce that

the Supreme Commander of the Allies would represent

the countries fighting against Japan to sign

And then, he turned back and invited General Wedemeyer

-and General Percival to accompany him -To victory

The representative of the Republic of China is now going to sign

Xu Yongchang walked to the table

and was accompanied by Wang Zhi to sign

Next, the representatives of the UK, USSR, AUS, CA, FR and NL signed

All signatures were completed

MacArthur and the chief delegates left

and went to the general command room

It's 9: 18 now

September 18th

What a coincidental date

It's been 14 years since the September 18th Incident

Another September 18th

The Japanese have surrendered now

The nightmare of the Chinese people has ended

To a bright future

To a bright future

Do you like this gun?

I look at it from time to time

Maybe it can help me bring back my memories

Can you remember

where you were trained?

No, I can't

You can't?

I'm telling the truth

Those days in London

should be the legend of another person

Another person?

Yeah, another person

A female spy

A female killer

Not me, anyway

I don't even know

when I learned to shoot

I also have no idea why

I have those weird skills

A spy's skills, to be precise

When I was in London

the potential personality was aroused

But now I'm not that kind of person at all

I can't remember anything

There's no trace

of that memory

It was like a dream for me

I leave no trace of wings in the air

but I am glad I have had my flight

Do you know this poem?

Written by Tagore

But you'll never know

how lonely it is when someone forgets who he or she is

Desperate loneliness

I understand your feeling

Though I've been used to it

I don't like it at all

Because when you're lonely

you'll feel the complete darkness around you

Reach out for nothing

It wasn't until I met William

that I felt

I could rely on

a man's shoulder for the first time

But the life we just started

has been gone

Well

am I doomed

to be alone all my life?

If you're really that afraid of loneliness

I advise you

to consider

curing your amnesia

I did

I've consulted many doctors

But whenever I had the confidence

to retrieve my memories

I failed

Zhao Hengxuan is listening to everything they said

Liang Tong has to complete

the mission assigned by Zeng Guangxi

Facing a possible amnesiac

Liang Tong was like walking a tightrope

He wanted to unlock Melanie's memories

while he was afraid to do so

Amnesia

Did she really lose her memories?

I love solitude

When I'm alone

she will be there right by my side

like she's never left

Are you talking about your beloved?

She disappeared from my world silently

I don't know why she left

I thought

I would never see her again

until you showed up

You really think I'm her?

There won't be two people so alike in this world

But I…

I really don't know

what I have to do with the one

you're talking about

He's indeed literate

He's even so good at acting

Yes, I totally agree

Tell me about her

If you don't mind, you can

take me… for her

I met her in Japan

We were at a party back then

She was accompanied by a man

who was very handsome and tall

She was also so pretty

I could tell that

she was a very gentle

and kind person

This couple

became the focus of everyone's attention at that party

At that time, I felt

I would never

cross paths with such a woman

throughout my life

But strangely

fate brought us together

One day, she suddenly came knocking on my door

and asked me to take her in

I agreed without a second thought

Just think about it

If

your dream girl

appeared in front of you

and made this request to you

would you say no?

But in the few days I took her in

she said nothing

She became totally different

from the one I saw before

When I went out in the morning

she was sitting in front of the window

And when I came back

she even didn't change her posture

Later, she told me

that man was shot dead

He was a Communist

a Japanese Communist

Then what about her?

Was the girl you loved

also a Communist?

Someone's coming

Who's that, interfering at this moment?

What a clichéd story

But it's a sensitive topic

Mark!

Melanie

Why are you here?

I miss you so much!

Come in, please…

OK

General Liang, you're here, too!

What a coincidence

Yeah, Mark

What a coincidence

Find out who this guy is. Go

Hurry up

Do you two know each other?

Mark, when did you meet General Liang?

Well

I met General Liang

when I came to Chongqing a few days ago

I just stayed a few hours

and then went back to Tokyo

He's the Staff officer in the Chinese Theater

of the Allies' United Front Work Department

Did you forget something?

Mark, let me pour you a drink

OK, thanks

Sit down, please

General Liang, do you believe in love at first sight?

What are you talking about?

Are you putting forward love at first sight again?

Mark, come on!

You don't have to repeat this story

to everyone

Though I was born in Heze, Shandong

I'm still an American

We express our feelings in a very direct way

Alright

Come on

General Wedemeyer's Staff officer

who was born in Heze, Shandong

An American speaking fluent Shandong dialect

What the hell is that?

Right, Mark

Have you had your meal?

Not yet. I'm kind of hungry

OK, I'm gonna prepare the food

Would you like to join us for dinner, General Liang?

I'd love to

Ordered by General Wedemeyer

I came back to Chongqing right after the surrender ceremony

just to meet you

and negotiate collaboration on the landing plan

There's no sound now!

I see

Why was the light turned on in broad daylight?

Come on…

Here you are

Hurry up!

There's no sound of current

I guess it was unplugged

Darn it!

What was the last thing they said?

Collaboration on the landing plan

Yes, I also heard this

Yep… I think so

General Wedemeyer has approved the landing plan

We need to plan it properly

I'll meet with Minister Chen tomorrow

Great

This is exactly what General Wedemeyer requested

Melanie

may I use your bathroom?

Sure. It's in the bedroom

Excuse me

Phonographs

Xiyuan's Dessert

Social Service Department

Girl

are you really gonna sell this mansion?

This is the dowry I prepared for you

Who will I marry?

You'll get married one day

If you have no house at that time

I'll lose my face

There's no one for me to marry

I plan to buy a house in Nanjing

So I'll move to that place

As for Little Stone and Little Lan

I'll treat them as my children and bring them up

When you get old

just come to Nanjing and enjoy the rest of your life

Sounds good

but I know

you still love that Little Tong

Dad!

It's my fault

I should have let you go to Japan together with Little Tong

Love

can't reach a person far away

It was a long time ago. Stop it

Girl

I have an idea

I go talk to Little Tong

And you

just go to be his concubine. How about that?

As your father, even I don't care about it

Why do you mind it so much?

Besides

you're the one still falling for that Little Tong

Then what else can we do?

Tong and Mrs. Yang are both literate

Stop talking nonsense

He's now a general

It's normal for him to marry several women

What's more

I'm backing you up

So Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang

won't treat you badly, right?

Enough

-Get out… -What are you doing?

-Get out! -Slow down, girl!

I'm serious!

Before Ghost Child set off for Nanjing

he gave me this film

This is the U.S. Army's landing plan

This intelligence is of great importance

I'll telegraph it to Yan'an right away

You follow Ghost Child

support him at any time

and work with him

Got it

I'm just on my way to Shanghai

Military Affairs Commission of the National Government

will be reorganized into the Ministry of National Defense

For Ghost Child

this is a crucial step

Whether our Operation Yan will be implemented successfully

also depends on this

I see

I will pass on your message to him

Then I should go now

OK, let me see you off

It can never be misappropriated by a minority

We must not allow any capitalist or landlord

to manipulate people's livelihoods

I'm so impressed

Mr. Chiang should read this book

If they negotiate following this idea

it will be in favor of the public

This is the end of my sharing

Thank you

OK, it's almost time

Today we've been talking about the founding of a country

Next time, let's talk about

the problems of people's democracy and rights

Alright, let's call it a day

You may leave now

OK

Military Airport Lounge, Nanjing

What time will Mr. Gu and Liang Tong's flight arrive?

Soon, I guess

You just told me that

it was Liang Tong

that unplugged audio monitor?

Yeah

A lieutenant colonel called Mark came in

and said something about the landing plan

General Liang said

it was the top secret of the Military Commission

which couldn't be eavesdropped

so he unplugged the monitor

Lieutenant Colonel Mark…

He's General Wedemeyer's Staff officer

Does he know Melanie?

They seem to know each other so well

According to my investigation

he's pursuing Miss Melanie

As General Liang said

Miss Melanie has been looking for

a way to cure her amnesia

Besides

she also agreed to let General Liang arrange a doctor

and try to treat her amnesia

Did Liang Tong say this to you in person?

Yes

He asked me to tell you about it

Good news

Sir!

Minister, the plane is about to land

The Gate of China, Nanjing

General Liang, I'm so lucky!

I'm even more excited to attend the surrender ceremony

in China

After all, I was born in China

Lieutenant Colonel Mark was the one who brought Melanie to America

He told Liang Tong

about how he fell in love with Melanie at first sight

At that time, Melanie was not her name

Instead, she was called He Meihui

It all started

on the night when Liang Tong left the seriously injured Emi Nakayama

who was actually He Meihui, in the hospital

On that night, I stayed at the Jimin Hospital

I had scarlet fever

But fortunately, I was cured

and survived

The next day, I was about to be discharged and went to America

I was admitted to the Virginia Military Institute

What happened, Dad?

Here comes an emergency patient

I'll see if they need a priest

Now go to sleep

Tomorrow we have a long way to go

My lord, our flesh is weak

fragile, and pitiful

We struggle against the disease

It rained so hard that day

with lightning and thunder

I was half-asleep all night

and didn't know when my dad came back

When I woke up in the morning

I beg you to pity her

Forgive all her sins

Remove pain and suffering

Giver her health back

On that day, I saw beautiful Melanie for the first time

And I was so obsessed with her

"She is my goddess," I thought

I couldn't take my eyes off her face

She got shot three times

We've removed all the bullets, but

she has amnesia

She can't remember who she is

As soon as she's stable

the hospital will call the police

She's facing the jail

Can't save her?

What should we name her?

How about Melanie?

From then on, father had a Chinese adopted daughter named Melanie

She went to the U.S. together with me

Mark

the love at first sight between you and Melanie

must be a secret for now

Her past poses a great danger to her

Given her gunshot wounds

and those secrets she found about herself

she was quite probably an agent

I was an agent?

How could Melanie be an agent?

Agents' secrets

are always dangerous

Take my word for it

Welcome! Welcome!

Welcome! Welcome!

Welcome! Welcome!

Welcome! Welcome!

Japan is actually gonna surrender

Yasuji Okamura already received

the ultimatum from the New 4th Army

ordering him to send a representative to Mount Tianchang to surrender

General Gu Zhutong Commander of the Third Theater Chairman of Jiangsu Province, National Government

He refused

He hoped the National Army could dispatch excellent troops

to take over the defense in Nanjing as soon as possible

Meanwhile, Okamura mentioned that

similar things happened in areas including North China

East China and Shandong

The Soviet and Allied troops also have launched attacks

on the border

We must be careful

Do not think that, since the Japanese have surrendered

the world will be at peace

This time, the Chairman

has decided to adopt the good-for-evil policy to accept their surrender

just considering

the objective fact that the Japanese still have elite troops

of more than 1.2 million mighty soldiers

The two sides can only cooperate

to let the Japanese army lay down their weapons

and be repatriated

China and Japan

treat each other respectfully

just to avoid

stirring up anything drastic

and therefore causing meaningless armed conflicts

and ruining the big picture

So long as the Japanese army remains in order

all the other forces won't find any chance

Tomorrow, the Meiling Special Plane's arranged

to go pick up Commander-in-Chief, He Yingqin

at the Zhijiang Airport

who will come to hold the surrender ceremony in Nanjing

We must make sure there are no security issues

The whole world will be watching it

Please don't worry about this

We have made arrangements with the New 6th Army

What's more, the 94th Army

were also transported from Fujian to Shanghai by the U.S. Air Force

It's literally foolproof

So?

Just sell the house

This is the only house

for my big family

Where can we live if I sell it?

This house never belongs to you

Just give it back

Besides

the house owner

will give you some money as compensation

I bought this house from its owner

before the Japanese entered the city

Meijuan, fetch me the title deed

I've kept this title deed hidden

for many years

Title Deed

and never dared to take it out

I've been waiting for the return of the National Government

The owner of the house is missing now

I don't know if your deed is real

Now the owner's daughter is coming back

to reclaim the house

What should we do?

This house

cost me a lot of money

Just figure out another way by yourself

It's said that you're working for the Japanese

The Japanese have occupied Nanjing

Everyone here is working for them

May I know your workplace?

I'm the president of Shanghai Reserve Bank

Nanjing Branch

A financial worker

True…

Besides, our president, Pan Sanxing

has been

the secret member of your Loyal and Patriotic Army

who's led right by your Minister Zeng

To fight the Japanese

we've also paid loads of efforts behind the scenes

You're one of us!

Right

I'm one of you. Just feel free to drop in for a chat

I'll treat you to meals

Here you are

Shouren! Forget about it

Just give up like this?

Let's wait for some days

It's a critical time now

We can't mess around

Let's come again with completed formalities

Japanese Soldiers' Repatriation Liaison Department

Japanese Soldiers' Repatriation Liaison Department

On Sept. 9th, 1945, Yasuji Okamura represented the Japanese army to submit the Instrument of Surrender to the National Government of China

Welcome, sir

So you're Masanobu Tsuji?

Yes, I am

I knew you a long time ago

You're insightful, and I appreciate it

So I also asked to meet you today

Thank you. I'm flattered

Masanobu Tsuji really

has a better understanding of Sino-Japanese relations than me

I rejected his calls for holding Sino-Japanese talks many times

Now it's too late for me to regret

You've decided to surrender now

which means you're no longer short-sighted

This way, please

Those young officers at the base camp of Japan

still lack foresight

Once a full-scale Civil War's waged between

the Nationalists and Communists

with both sides suffering great loss,

China will be trapped in power vacuum

At that time, the Soviet troops coveting Northeast China

and the American troops stationed in Japan

might take advantage of it

and try to carve up China again

Then, East Asia will all fall into

the sphere of influence of the West

I believe you also don't wanna see

the Communist Party win

If they unify China

they'll push Communism

None of us would like to see this result

Masanobu Tsuji

We appoint you as the person

in charge of the repatriation of Japanese officers and soldiers

to cooperate with Yasuji Okamura's work

I'm honored to accept this assignment

And you will work together with General Liang Tong

The famous General Liang Tong and I

are old acquaintances

You are the most visionary predictor

After the Yalta Conference

everything happened

within your prediction

I admire you so much

Sit down, please

Delegated by the Ministry of War, General Liang Tong

is in charge of the repatriation of Japanese officers and soldiers

You two will have to deal with each other a lot

It's my honor

Wish us a good cooperation

General Liang

Do you

have any ideas about the future of China?

The future of China

will surely be in the hands of us Chinese

This part of China's history of shame

will never be repeated even again

Nice!

Well said

You're really one of our proud Chinese soldiers

one of our Southwest Army

Peace Hotel

General Liu! We haven't seen each other for years

I'm super-duper happy

I thought I could only talk to you

on the phone this time

I didn't expect to meet you so soon either

Thanks to your Mayor Zhou

Don't mention this mayor anymore

Now it's the National Government of Chongqing, China

Newspaper! Newspaper!

Well, the old guy, Zhou Fohai…

What the hell is he doing?

I wanted to meet Yasuji Okamura

But why did he get me to Shanghai?

Mr. Zhou said

Yasuji Okamura couldn't see you

We can't let the public see such a high-profile action

However, Yasuji Okamura

has sent a delegate to meet you

Can that one represent them?

Yeah, absolutely

Tell Zhou Fohai

If he gets this done

we will grant him enough benefits

I know

The two of us have been dealing with each other

for a while, after all

General Liu, the hotel room

is ready for you

Nice

This way, please

OK!

Master! Bad news! Something happened!

Master, here comes the bad news!

What happened?

Encircle them

What? What are you doing?

Do you know whose house it is?

Hello, Mr. Wu

You again!

I'm gonna sue you!

Why did you hit him?

Shouren, that was a heavy blow

Put your guns down, guys

Put down…

I asked you to sell the house, and you refused

Now I'm gonna expropriate it

I'm still quite merciful

This is the fiat currency of the Republic of China

To tell you the truth

this house is the property of General Liang Tong

You should thank me that I'm the one who came

I'm inviting you to leave

But if it was General Liang here

old traitor

do you know what would happen to you?

Send them to the inn

Use this to pay for the rooms

Sir… Please, sir

Can you give us some time to pack up?

We'll leave right after we finish it

Why didn't you say these words earlier?

Or you wouldn't have gone through this

Thank you, Chinese people, for giving us refugees a way home

Huangpu River Wharf, Shanghai

After the Japanese surrendered

millions of people needed to be repatriated to Japan

which had to take up loads of

land, sea and air transport resources

This was a very good news

to Liang Tong

because he knew

it would greatly slow down the movement of KMT troops

and buy precious time for our army

to march into Northeast China

It's a smart slogan

Japanese people are very disciplined

Once an order is given, they'll put down guns in no time

and go back home together

I didn't find them disciplined

Besides, have the Japanese troops started to withdraw?

These are all expatriates

Some of them bought tickets by themselves in a hurry

These days, they studied

Shanghai civil ports without letup

Here I express my gratitude for the early return of the Japanese soldiers

and expatriates to their home country

Thank you

A soldier must obey orders

It's not that simple

What I know about you

used to be just thoughts

However

after working together these days

I get a new perception of you due to your practical abilities

If China

is full of soldiers like you

we Japanese people dare not to act rampantly

Masanobu Tsuji

you don't need to fraternize with me

You should look at yourself

for the defeat of Japan

Like the militarism and mania for wars that go viral in your country

Each Japanese soldier

needs some self-reflection

But you're pretty unique

as someone

extremely sensible

and also extremely crazy

Repatriation of Japanese soldiers and expatriates

is a huge project

A delayed repatriation of those Japanese people

will result in more uncertainties

Although Mr. Okamura means

if Chairman Chiang needs us

our 1.2 million Japanese soldiers

can stay in China for now

to work for the National Government

Help some Chinese people

to fight the other Chinese

We are afraid that

the National Government can't resist

the growth of the Communist Party of China

Tell Yasuji Okamura to give up his ambition

He wants to deposit his forces in China

It's only his wishful thinking

Of course

This is merely an attitude we have

Please ask Chairman Chiang to decide on it

The Japanese troops have done countless evil ruthlessly

on Chinese territory

For Chinese people

this wound will never heal

Also, this history

will be recorded in world history forever

General Liang, I just got a report

saying that a small dock nearby

is heavily guarded by the Peacebuilding National Army

I suspect that they're offering private transportation to profiteers

Let's go to take a look

Distinguished Mr. Zhou To fulfill surrender agreements including the reward and protection for those who contributed to the peace talk and surrender ceremony

all expenses will be taken from the seized Japanese silver ingots Please cooperate with General Zeng in properly arranging the transfer of silver ingots By He Yingqin, on March 10th

Mr. Zhou

General He's written directive

is also agreed by the Chairman

To fulfill this surrender agreement

including the reward and protection for those who contributed

to the peace talk and surrender ceremony

it'll cost a large amount of money

But this cost

can't be drawn from the Treasury

Furthermore, the Treasury is not enough

to offer so much money

So all expenses

should rely on this ship of silver ingots

In the next few days, I will send someone

to move this ship away

Besides, the case of this ingot ship

is a top secret of the state

only known to the Chairman, General He

you and me

I see

Lately, I've been pondering over

Liao Bin's peace talk being leaked

Who could have leaked this information?

Are you suspecting me?

Of course not

Then it was General Liang, Liang Tong?

I haven't found any evidence

But he

was once out of my sight

Last time you told me

a telephone operator of your No. 76

was kidnapped by the Kagesa Agency

Did you find out anything later?

A person once made a phone call at No. 76

which was transferred right by this operator

Who did that person call?

Yasuji Okamura

What did they say?

We have no idea about it

It was Liang Tong
