Episode 18

I will sacrifice myself

I will sacrifice myself

before I betray my oath

before I betray my oath

or my organization

or my organization

Upon my life

Upon my life

I solemnly swear

I solemnly swear

I will always remain loyal to the Communist Party of China

I will always remain loyal to the Communist Party of China

Melanie

Let's go

You two, are you being naughty again?

Mom! Mom!

Auntie is leaving

Where is she going?

Somewhere far away, she said

But where exactly?

Nanjing, the capital

Yeah, that's right, Nanjing, the capital

Come on

Auntie, mom's home

You're home

You guys go do your homework

It's done

Then let's eat. The food is ready

It's braised pork belly!

It's actually braised pork belly!

Go get your grandparents for dinner

Okay

Slow down, don't trip over

You're going to Nanjing?

Yeah

I was just about to tell you

I'll be gone for a few days

You'd have to look after

the kids and the elders on your own

I had been on my own

before you joined us

I've been spending so much time with the kids

Now that I'm leaving

it's difficult to say goodbye

Why the sudden trip to Nanjing?

It's my father who wants to go

He insists that I go with him

Little Shi, Little Lan

You're both behaving well

Slowly

Grandpa, slowly

The kids are becoming responsible young adults now

Slowly

Didn't Mr. Zhou say he was coming to dinner?

You can't hold him on his promises

Let's eat first

Let's not wait for him

Don't say that about your own dad

Good, you're here

Come sit down

Sister in law

Kids, you should say hello

Hello, Grandpa Kui

Hello, you two

Xiugu, bring me the half bottle of wine

I'll have a drink with your father

Go on

Go ahead

My daughter

has been mad at me the last couple of days

I'm not surprised

You're always too busy

Xiugu is always on her own

You don't come home enough

You have to be there for her more

You're completely right

That's what I came here to talk about

Don't talk nonsense

Auntie, can I go to Nanjing with you?

You want to skive off school! Bad boy

Why do you want to go to Nanjing?

I wanna see the capital

Dad is there, too

If you're going with Auntie, I'm going too

Be good and eat your meal

Not even food will keep you from talking, huh?

Are you going on business?

No

Xiugu wants to buy a house in Nanjing

My daughter is my everything

It's too chaotic out there

for her to go all alone

You wanted to go more than I did, didn't you?

Didn't you say that now is a good time

to be buying property in Shanghai and Nanjing?

That it's cheap now?

It was your idea, not mine

Didn't you want to buy a house?

Rumor has been passing around that

all the properties occupied by the Japanese

will be released to the market soon

when the Japanese surrender

Mr. Zhou, for someone of your income and status

it's actually not a bad idea to be considering

buying properties in Shanghai and Nanjing

Yes, people have been saying that

Shanghai and Nanjing have lots of cheap houses now

I don't particularly care for that

But my daughter wants to buy a house

so I'm just going along with her

It's you who wants to go. You

Why do you keep saying it's me?

How is it not you?

You sold the house I bought

in Chongqing as your dowry

and wanted to exchange for a property in Nanjing. Didn't you?

See, I know that

my daughter wants to buy a house in Nanjing

so that when Little Tong is in Nanjing

he has a place to stay

What's up with you now?

Let's drink

That old man, losing his marbles!

Not even two drinks down

and he starts shooting off his mouth!

Did he get hit in the head or something?

How can he just say whatever he wants

without considering how it makes me look?

I'll be frank here

My daughter

doesn't have that grand wedding in her destiny

Brother Wentao, sister in law

If you are not too unhappy with her

just have Little Tong take Xiugu in as a second wife

I can tell

my daughter

is bent on marrying into your house

and this is a good place for her

I'm sure

Why is mom leaving too?

Oh no

I slipped my tongue

Xiugu and Mr. Zhou went to Nanjing

taking Yang Suya's heart with them

She desperately wanted to go back, too

for Nanjing was her true home

Mr. Zhou promised to do his best to find out about her parents

This gave Yang Suya something to look forward to

And yet she felt somewhat uneasy

Nanjing

It's been nine years since we left

Yes

I've commissioned for the

entire property to be renovated

so that when Nanjing becomes the capital again

we can move in without a problem

Good

We couldn't have taken back the house

without Minister Zeng's intervention

Brother Zeng, thank you so much

Don't mention it

it was my pleasure to help out

I'll go in and tell them

to stop construction for a while

so that you can go inside and take a look

Please. Thanks

Feiyun

Do you know why I came to Nanjing?

As Sir Li

takes office as the Director of the Beiping Camp

he came to Nanjing to pay respects to the late Premier

You came with him

That's one of the reasons, yes

You are worried about the reception

that Yasuji Okamura won't cooperate fully

That's right

I hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible

That's the real reason I came to Nanjing

Yasuji Okamura knows how to swim with the tide

You needn't worry

Feiyun, you used to lead the Operations Department

You were in charge of all troop movements

But with He Yingqin as Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Force

the Operations Department has been eviscerated

Especially now, after the War of Resistance

Chen Cheng's Ministry of War

has gained control of all the handover affairs

The movement of troops

is now at Liang Tong's command

So you must return to Chongqing as soon as possible

We need to turn the situation around

Li Sir is in Huabei now

we no longer have a backer in Chongqing

Don't worry about that

After we deal with affairs in Nanjing

I'll return immediately

Okay, I'm relieved

There's one more thing

A boatload of silver ingots left behind by the Japanese in Shanghai

has disappeared

It's a huge fortune

At this crucial point in time

I believe nobody dares to pocket the silver

They'd be risking their lives

Especially when these silver ingots

are already in full view of the public

It is no trivial matter

Tell me

who would have the capability and guts to steal the silver?

What do you think?

I wonder if the order came from the very top

The very top?

I want to dig deeper

and use our findings against the Ministry of War

Whatever was done, it was done in the dark, illegally

and no one's going to take the fall for it by claiming responsibility

We'd be able to take a crack at Chen Cheng

and he wouldn't be able to make a squeak

It'll be a useful step for us to turn the tide

What a cunning idea

It's a good move for us

to regain control of the military

Good

In a moment

Li Sir and I

will formally ask Zeng Guangxi to solve the case

You and I must cooperate

to put on a good show for him

No problem

Please

Hurry up!

Change of guard now. Hurry

Stand straight

Hurry up, you at the back

Hurry up!

Attention!

You, you, you. You

Lead the line. Lead the line

Report!

Commissioner

The entire company is assembled

We're ready to move out

Good job

Those ten men are all in one car, yes?

They're all in the same car

They heard that you are going to reward them individually

They're very happy

They said you're a man of style

You know what?

You and your ten men

go with me, later

You mean?

The change of guard is a very big deal

Shouldn't we have some of our own men overseeing the handover?

Right, right, right

Besides…

Some things are not easy to do with so many people around

Understood

I completely understand

Go along now

Yes, sir

Mrs. Jiang

Why are there no customers?

Can't you see the troops are busy?

What was it called again?

Change of guard

Please…

Mr. Liu

I hope I'm getting good news today

Commander Okamura considers the Guangxi Clique's request

to be understandable

Understandable? That's it?

Don't worry

He's agreed to

the reception requests of the Guangxi Clique

Which means that

Mr. Yasuji Okamura

will be cooperating with our request

to receive the surrender of Japanese troops

in our designated areas?

Mr. Yasuji Okamura

agrees to that exactly

Good

In this way, I won't fail what Li Tsung Jen and Bai Chongxi

entrusted me with

This is good

So, when will we

get an official response?

I'm afraid that won't happen

If Chairman Chiang pursues the matter

neither of us will be able to explain

It can only be a gentleman's agreement

We have already given this order

You can rest assured

But in some areas

there will be conflicts with the central army's receiving plan

So we hope

that Guangxi troops can arrive before the central troops

Otherwise

we won't be able to directly disobey Chairman Chiang's orders

Please understand the difficult spot we are in

That is understandable

I'll be off then

By the way

I heard that

you have a boatload of silver ingots in your possession

I've already handed it over

But I also heard that

the silver ingots have disappeared

I will be paying close attention to the matter

Mrs. Jiang

Can we close shop?

Want to slack off again?

A car is coming

Isn't that Company Commander Tang?

Commander Tang! Commander!

See you later

Goodbye

I'll come back for your dumplings again

Bye. Okay

See you later

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm thinking of your return

I'm thinking of your return

I'm thinking of your return. I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

Brothers, sing along!

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm thinking of your return

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'll wait for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

How far are we?

Almost there

It's the next intersection

Dong Guoqing Captain, Operations Team, BIS Chongqing Station

Brothers, sing louder!

Sing along! Sing!

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm thinking of your return

I'm thinking of your return

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

Prepare your documents for inspection

Brothers, take out your papers

It's the inspection

Are you all ready?

Yes, we are

Move fast!

Yes, sir

I'm waiting for you to come back

Give me your papers

Sir

We're all brothers

Mine. Mine

Here's my ID

Thank you. Thank you

Mine. Mine

This is my ID

Any problem?

No, sir

No problem

Then let's get them on their way

Thank you. Thank you

Let's go

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

I'm waiting for you to come back

Chief, all done

Don't leave anything behind

Yes, sir. Of course

Let's go

Yes, sir

Start burying

Sir, it's raining

We're almost done here

Let's go

Yes, sir

Li Tsung Jen and Bai Chongxi

are leaving so soon

Mr. Li is going to Peking to take up his post

He's on a tight schedule

He came to Nanjing specifically

to pay respects to our late president

What about the silver ingot ship?

Too many people knew about it

We have to check them one by one

It's very difficult

This case is interesting

Mr. Bai and Mr. Li

are giving me a lot of pressure

to solve the case

In Chongqing

voices are raised, too, about solving the case

But if it really happened the way you suggested

the Ministry of War handled the silver ingots

according to an order from the top

which I strongly agree with

but if that is the case

then how can we solve the case?

How can we investigate?

We can't investigate upwards

Or else what?

do we arrest Chen Cheng

and then arrest the Commandant?

If I keep investigating down this lane

I will be digging my own grave

and planting the dirt on it myself

In the end, the responsibility for not solving the case

will be all on me

Brother Liu

You're the elder brother among us

You can't watch me go down like this

I need some advice

What should I do now?

Guangxi

Have you thought of

handing the investigation back to Liang Tong and the Ministry of War?

The dock is their jurisdiction in the first place

They have the responsibility

Let them investigate themselves

and see where that leads them

Brother Liu

I've been waiting for you to say that

It's not that I'm afraid to say it

I'm afraid that if I say it

it'll sound like I'm shying away from my duties

I personally have nothing against Liang Tong

He is a soldier I admire very much

Of course, I admire you even more

We all know how close you are between the four of you

But we are not our own masters

We have higher powers to answer to

Hearing you say that

makes me feel a lot better

I know

the post-war National Army garrison plan

has made things rough

for the Guangxi Clique

Let's be open

The troops are going to be integrated

The Military Commission

will be reorganized into the Ministry of National Defense

At this point in time

Any position is up for grabs

This gives us the leverage

Liang Tong

Where's Melanie?

Lieutenant Colonel Mark is getting her

Treatment in the past few days has been difficult for Melanie

How's the treatment going?

The Belarus witch you mentioned?

Yes, that's her

She's very famous in Shanghai

She's said to be very beautiful

She's also quite young

She's a Russian exile from an aristocratic family

Her mother was a psychologist

father a violinist

She learned to hypnotize herself

I'd be interested in seeing that

But…

I personally believe that your

Chinese qigong hypnosis and acupuncture

will be more effective for her

Don't listen to my brother's bluff

I learned the craft when I was young

and kept it as a hobby

While we wait for Melanie

let's talk about the silver ingot ship

Sure

Minister Chen has now tasked me

to intervene in this case

The reputation of the Ministry of War is at stake in this case

You two can't just stand by and watch

Tong

That is just wonderful

I've been so worried about this

I'm at a loss

I was just talking to General Liu

I said Liang Tong is China's

most outstanding intelligence agent

That's right

I saw it in Calcutta

Tong, it's so good you're on board

Now I'm really relieved

It's not the same thing

I can fight alright

But I can't find stuff like you can

You can't just leave it all to me

Well, it lies within the Ministry of War's jurisdiction

It's only right for you to investigate

You can't back down from it

Exactly

I am myself a suspect in this case

You guys should be investigating me

Cut it out

If everybody working for the government is like you

Then the Chinese government

would be the cleanest government on earth

To clear his own name, Liang Tong

had to try and find the silver ingots

In the meanwhile, he couldn't afford to let Zeng Guangxi think of him

as the most outstanding spy

He was faced with a dilemma

Was Zeng Guangxi the one

who stole the silver ingots in the first place?

This sudden thought

startled him

If it really was Zeng Guangxi

then he was walking into a

meticulously designed trap

I'm going to apply the powder to stop the bleeding

It may hurt a bit

Hang on

Lao Tang, Lao Tang, Lao Tang

Doctor, is he okay?

Yes, he's fine

He'll be fine soon after the medicine

Lao Tang, it's all my fault

I thought being in the army meant a better paycheck

If anything happens to you

How can I and the children live?

Lao Tang

Lao Tang

Lao Tang

Lao Tang

I'm hungry! I'm hungry

I want to eat stewed pork ball

We have stewed pork ball

Master Liu

It's all right. He'll be fine after a few days of rest

Thank you. Thank you

Don't mention it. We're family

Lao Tang, here

Take it easy

Slowly, eat slowly

Uncle Qi

Lao Tang

We've told the Hall Master about what happened to you

He said to go see him when you can get out of bed

We need to talk about our brothers' funerals

Revenge. We need revenge

Does Melanie insist on leaving today?

Yes

I can't persuade her otherwise

She just won't go to therapy anymore

Do you think she's remembered something?

I don't think so

She is a very honest person

You are a person who can keep secrets

Are you sure you won't go to therapy again?

This is a rare opportunity

You came all the way to Shanghai

It's a pity

I've run out of time

Mr. Hurley urged me to return to Chongqing

I thought this Belarus had something special

How many doctors have we already seen?

Nothing worked

But I've seen this Belarus

and I think she's going to make it work

Don't worry

Getting treatment is a long-term effort

Back in Chongqing

General Liu has special gifts too

Does he?

He's not a charlatan doctor, is he?

Melanie breached the walls in her mind

She already knew

that she was He Meihui

and when she studied in Japan

Emi Nakayama

Jimin Hospital

was where the memory ruptured

Zhou Fohai Mansion, Shanghai

Liang Tong is put on the silver ingot ship case?

Will there be any problems?

It must be him

Why?

Liang Tong is a very strange person

You can't see him making connections

but he always has

many advocates

and many powerful people secretly helping him

Isn't that strange?

You mean

he's either a crook or a liar?

I've done my share of intelligence work

We always want to take precautions

Liang Tong's position is too important

We can not afford to have any doubts

Now the military is rebuilding

I can't have someone I can't trust

stay in that important position

We've created the public opinion

Now all eyes are on him

He has to investigate

He has to

Failure to investigate

would be his responsibility

But you can't be hoping for his success, can you?

I'd like to see

just how good he is

But what if he really does find out?

I hope he does

Then…

I have to investigate him thoroughly

Minister Zeng

Do you know Luo Haobin of Heliena's Fur?

Yes, I do

He fronts many of the businesses we do in Shanghai

He has a problem

with shipping control

I've asked General Liang for help

but there are some folks that will take no one's order but yours

So I must trouble you with the matter

Luo Haobin

is a person I can vouch for

Fine. I'll help you

I'm much obliged

Mr. Zhou

Recently

There is a lot of public opinion about punishing traitors

You make an obvious target

The Chairman suggests

that you

resign from all public offices for now

and wait it out

My child, how could you leave?

These bastards

They're not human

My child

Let's keep moving

We must take revenge!

Hall Master

I think they've got someone backing them

Can we afford to mess with them?

Can we afford?

This is Shanghai

We, Green Gang's Weiwu Hall

can afford anything

Hall Master

I'm glad

to hear you say that

This is the way in

Seems like all the people living here are Belarussian

That's right

Chief

This is Lao Bai

He's been a member of the Loyal and Patriotic Army for three years

He knows Natasha

Chief Zhao, greetings

Hello

Natasha is a good friend of mine

This place…

Is it full of Belarusians?

Yes, Belarusians

all live on Xiafei Road

We were Russian aristocrats

We were revolutionized and came to Shanghai

I see

Take me to Natasha

Natasha, my boss is here

he wants to know about the amnesiac patient

Natasha

I want to know about the patient's treatment

Natasha

I'm willing to pay for beauty

What do you want to know

I'd like to know

has the amnesiac patient recovered?

General Liang, I officially report to you today

Minister Zeng asked me to help you with the investigation

Then we'll be a joint force

Yes

Do you have any news for me?

I've looked into it

Nothing for now

Then let's go to the docks

and seek out that Company Commander Tang

Chill out

Don't act so nervous

I've already checked there

They're not there

I'll check around that dumpling stand

You guys stay here and keep watch

Be on the lookout for them

Okay

Sir, come back soon

Mrs. Jiang

Mrs. Jiang

Mrs. Jiang

It's me

Company Commander Tang

Didn't you get promoted?

Why are you here…

What the hell?

It's a long story

I'll tell you later

Can I ask you something, Mrs. Jiang?

If it's borrowing money, no

It's not borrowing money

Then I'm happy to help

Do you still remember

the last time you saw me?

Of course

When you left

There was a big car

and a little jeep?

That's right

When you left

you waved goodbye

Right, right

Did you recognize the man in the jeep?

I didn't, he's not a customer

Then after we left

Did the man in the jeep

come back again?

He left with you

why are you asking me?

Oh, also

do you remember the general?

The general?

Sat there, that day

the general who sat there

Did he ever come back?

He's here. The general's here

Don't ever tell him I've been back!

Then I'll go and find Company Commander Tang

Go ahead

One bowl of dumplings

Got it

General, you're here

Please take a seat

Okay

I thought I'd never see

such an important official like you again

I had to come back for your dumplings

Well, I hope you pay a visit every day
