There's a special drug called prontosil
that can cure her,

but the Japanese took it all away.

Starting today,
I'll be doing business with the Japanese.

Speak up now if you don't want to stay.
Then we're not master and protege anymore

You're back, Siu-hong. Everybody's waiting.

Is everyone here?

There's a reason why
I asked you all to come here.

After the fall of Shanghai,
our Special Task Force was forced to disband

As the Japanese continue to
kill and oppress innocent people,

we need to stand up against them.

So I've gathered you all here to set up
an Iron and Blood anti-espionage team.

We must fight back at all costs.

We're in!
The debt of blood must be paid in full!

Let's not forget those who betrayed us!

First of all, take Kung Siu-shan
and Kiu Ngo-tin's heads

to the graves of our fellow countrymen!

Yes !

I don't know what's gotten into Brother Tin!

Not only did he seek refuge with
the Japanese,

but he also got the Chief killed!

Calm down.
They are Genji Tojo's right-hand men

with the Japanese Army backing them up.
Killing them won't be easy.

I agree with Siu-hong.

This fight requires careful planning.
We must not act recklessly.

Wait a second. The Special Task Force
was led by Kiu Ngo-tin.

So who's going to lead
the Iron and Blood anti-espionage team?

Hong, be our leader.

You used to manage the cotton mill workers.
You're the perfect fit.

Among Kiu Ngo-tin's many disciples,
you're the most knowledgeable.

Siu-hong, I support you.

But I'm afraid I'll let you down.

Siu-hong, this is no time for courtliness.
We are all of one mind. You can do it.

Right, go for it.

I'm duty-bound to fight the Imperial Army,
but it's a matter of utmost urgency

to rescue the women from the occupied area
as well as the two guerrilla commanders

and escort them to the French Concession.

But there are many checkpoints manned by
Japanese soldiers between the mo places.

In order to smuggle them
into the French Concession,

we must obtain a pass from the Army
for the vehicle to pass through.

But how can we obtain a pass?

Mr Tojo asked me to give this to you.

(Hung Yat-hing. Chan Lok-sang.
Hung Shek-yam)

Mr Tojo wants me to convince these people?

They have a strong anti-Japanese sentiment.
Looks like they won't be joining the EAAP.

There must be something we can do.
Let me talk to them.

We're counting on you, Mr Kiu.
If you could convince them,

it would be a great benefit for the EAAP,
and Mr Tojo would be very pleased.

I'll try my best.

What Mr Tojo means is
if they don't seem to understand,

perhaps you should take a hard line
and do what you need to do...

I get it.

Thank you very much. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

In case you need me, every Saturday at 5 pm
someone will wait for you at Ling Lung Bar.

The secret code is,
"Sorry, please don't be mad at me."

Go on and answer,
"Maybe we're not meant to be."

Then that person will say,
"Seeing you is all that matters."

We're being followed. Drop me off
after two laps and keep circling around.

Yes, Brother Tin.

Sorry, please don't be mad at me.

The secret code is,
"Sorry, please don't be mad at me."

Maybe we're not meant to be.

Seeing you is all that matters.

We're being watched.

How about we go to my place?

Follow him.

I let Siu-yuk go back to her hometown
in Guangxi.

It's safer for her
and easier for us to meet here.

Don't took.
Let them think we're having an affair.

That was smart of you.
I just never thought the NLO would send you.

I never thought of that either.
It all happened so fast.

Master Koo!
Master Koo!

Thank you for your generous donations.

Don't mention it...

Master Koo!

Hi, do you have a moment?

Director Hon? We've met before, haven't we?

We met at Kiu Ngo-tin's house.

Mr Hon.

Thank you.

Please excuse me, gentlemen.

You want me to work for the NLO?

A friend of mine told me you're an actress
full of patriotism. I just saw it.

Our country is in trouble.
It's the least I can do.

But patriots are everywhere. How come...

Because we have a task before us,
which I believe no one can do but you.

What is it?

After meeting you, I'll go to Beiping
to estimate the enemy situation.

So I need someone in Shanghai
to act as a go-between.

I'm asking you because
you're closely related to the other side.

That's why Hon Lap chose you.

Then I suppose
he's already told you everything.

I was so happy to hear that.

I'm sorry for what I did that day.

I didn't want you two to get involved.
It's too dangerous. Sorry about that.

Actually I never thought of you
as a traitor,

because I know
you're not a heartless person.

You did?

Do you remember you once told me
you'd give up everything for our country?

How could such a patriot
possibly become a traitor?

But now you have to endure all the insults.

No one knows when we can end this.

You are the sinner
facing the harshest condemnation.

Even your protege have abandoned you.

My heart is aching for you.
I feel terribly sorry.

It will soon be alright. Trust me.

It will soon be alright. Trust me.

I have a very important message for Hon Lap.

What is it?

You need to remember these three names,
Hung Yat-hing, Chan Lok-sang, Hung Shek-yam.

They work in banking, iron and steel,
and maritime industries.

They all play important roles
in the French Concession.

The Japanese want to rope them in,
but I know they'll turn them down.

The Japanese will harm them for sure,
so they must leave Shanghai immediately.

You want Director Hon to help them?

None of them can make public appearances.

They must be escorted out of Shanghai
by the NLO as soon as possible.

What are you supposed to tell the Japanese?

Many people are willing to sell themselves.
I'll just give them a list of names.

The three of them must leave immediately.

Let me get you some hot tea.

It's OK. I should get going.
I think they're still waiting outside.

Director Hon said they'd suspect something
if we saw each other too often.

And your phone is probably being tapped.

Like I said, you can contact me by mail.

Sure.

I think Hon Lap made a very smart choice,
but it's just too dangerous.

If someone has to do it,
I'm happy to be the one.

Be careful.

You too.

Goodbye.

Koo Siu-lau.

Yes, Brother Shan.
We noticed Kiu Ngo-tin was acting strange.

He even sent his subordinates away.

To our surprise,
he had a secret date with Koo Siu-lau.

A secret date? He's never done that before.

It can't be wrong. The whole time
he was staying at that woman's place.

Apparently they're having an affair.

No wonder they get along so well.
They've been secretly dating.

He's always behaved like a gentleman,

but in fact he's a cheater
having a secret affair.

Kiu Ngo-tin, now I see your true colours.

Brother Shan, no other man
cares about his family like you do.

Koo Siu-lau isn't a good sort either.
She had ah affair with Sheung Man-bun.

I'm not surprised she's sleeping with
her best friend's husband.

You're so nosy.
I don't care whom he's sleeping with,

as long as he's not doing anything
behind our back.

Dad, you've got to help me out.

Why don't you two go outside?

Yes, Brother Shan.

Dad.

What happened?

Mr Tojo just asked me to resume filming.

He said the film could give
the Japanese Army a morale boost.

Good, just get it done.

Dad, back then Shanghai was peaceful
and prosperous,

but now the situation is so tense.
How can I resume filming?

I'll have to go to different locations,
including the occupied area,

and pass through checkpoints
with plenty of equipment and actors.

Japanese soldiers are so fierce
They always ask so many questions.

Please help me turn Mr Tojo down.

Not unless you want to die!

Mr Tojo didn't ask you for a favour!
It was an order!

But it's a lot of hassle.

It's no hassle at all! We are privileged
because we work for Genji Tojo!

Japanese soldiers won't dare mess with us!

I can provide the vehicle and pass
for transportation! Why worry?

Listen carefully! You must resume filming
and get it done no matter what.

Mrs Kung, it's so kind of you to give us
all these supplies despite the chaos.

Thank you so much.

The Refuge House needs these supplies.
I'm just worried no one here likes me.

Don't be silly. You have such a good heart.
So unlike your husband.

Granny, your granddaughter asked me to
give you this letter. Take care. Goodbye.

Hok-yiu, you seldom come out anymore.

It's not like I wanted this.
You all know my dad is.

I'm afraid to go out in public.

Looks like you still have a conscience.
We speak the same language.

Why the long face?
We wish we could enjoy filming like you do.

All businesses in Shanghai
are facing a tough time.

It's amazing how you can bring your crew

back and forth between the occupied area
and the French Concession without hindrance.

That's because I have a vehicle pass
issued by the Imperial Army.

A pass is all that matters now.

Hok-yiu, besides having a gathering today,
we actually have a favour to ask.

Can we borrow your truck and the pass?

Why do you need them?

We have to ship the last batch of
cotton yarns to the French Concession.

If we miss the deadline,
we will lose a lot of money.

But we can't pass through the checkpoints
without a vehicle and pass.

Wait. The occupied area is under embargo.
Transportation of supplies is prohibited.

We'll be in trouble
if the Japanese find out.

Hok-yiu, Siu-hong is your old classmate.
Do him a favour. It's a good thing.

And you already have a pass.
It's just a small favour.

Right.

But still...

Don't worry, Hok-yiu, I'll be very careful.
Even if the Japanese find out,

they'll only confiscate the cotton yarns.
There're no risks involved.

Let me think about it. I have to go.

Hok-yiu, please don't tell your dad
I want to borrow your truck and the pass.

You know, he may get the wrong idea.

OK.

He is hesitant.
How are we going to save Miss Kwai-seng?

Maybe he's afraid of his dad.
He worries too much.

This is our only hope,
so let's just take a chance.

Hok-yiu.

Mom!

Yesterday you said a classmate
wanted to borrow our car. What's it about?

The gathering was an excuse! Lai Siu-hong
wanted to borrow Dad's car and the pass!

Besides filming,
there's one more thing to worry about.

Lai Siu-hong needs to ship cotton yarns to
the French Concession. I'm still debating.

He's my old classmate,
but I don't want any trouble.

The truck and pass belong to Dad after all.

What are you two talking about?

Dad seems to be in a good mood.
Let me ask him.

Dad, I need your advice
on something important.

What is it?

A friend of mine wants to borrow our car.

Don't lend our luxury car out.
It's chaotic out there. You can't do that.

Mom!

Don't bother your dad.
You can handle such trifles.

It's no bother at all,
but your mom is right.

You can't trust anyone at a time like this.
Just listen to your mom, OK?

OK.

Kam, I have to go out for a while.
Remember, don't go out unless it's necessary.

Mom, Siu-hong didn't ask to borrow
our luxury car. Why did you say that?

I am want your dad to know.
Lend our truck and the pass to Siu-hong.

What?

Granny, your granddaughter asked me to
give you this letter. Goodbye!

Yesterday I saw Siu-hong give a letter
to an old woman at the Refuge House.

I suspect Siu-hong wants to
smuggle some women from the occupied area

to the French Concession.

You mean Siu-hong asked me to
smuggle women but not cotton yarns?

I suspect Siu-hong wants to
smuggle some women from the occupied area

to the French Concession.

You mean Siu-hong asked me to
smuggle women but not cotton yarns?

How dare that little rascal lie to me!

He must have his reasons.

I don't know who those women are,
but apparently the Army is pursuing them.

They're in danger.

Siu-hong is doing a good thing.
We must help them.

No! It's risky to smuggle cotton yarns,
not to mention people!

It's like messing with the Army!
We'll be in trouble if Dad finds out!

We're doing this because of your dad!

He's siding with the Japanese
and has harmed our people!

We must help him do more good deeds!
Nothing is more important than saving lives!

Anyway, give the truck and the pass
to Siu-hong tomorrow.

Tell him I can help him
with anything he needs.

What?

Anyway, be careful. Think before you act.
We can't afford any mistakes.

Mom, are you sure it'll be alright?

Don't worry. In case your Dad asks,
just say I told you to do that.

OK, I'll contact Siu-hong tomorrow.
Let's hope everything goes well.

You're late. Did you run into trouble?

You are the trouble! It's better to wait
till there are less people.

Hok-yiu, thank you so much.

If everything goes well tonight,
many lives will be saved.

Alright, here's the pass
for entering and exiting the occupied area.

If you tell the Japanese soldiers
you're delivering my film equipment,

they won't inspect the truck.

Hok-yiu, you really can't come with us?

Of course not What it the Japanese
find out I'm assisting in the rescue?

Please be careful. I don't want any trouble.

Don't worry.

I'll return the truck and the pass
once we arrive tn the French Concession.

Alright, get tn the truck.
Everything must be done before dawn.

Thank you.

Be careful. Don't make any noise.
We'll be safe in the French Concession.

Stop!

Who are you? Where are you going?

Officer, I have a pass here.

This is a rush delivery
of Mr Kung's film equipment.

What kind of equipment? Open it!

Officer, it's just some ordinary equipment.

Oh no. I have no choice now!

Officer, you need to search the truck?
Actually I'm in a hurry.

Hey, you're still here!
I've been expecting you all night!

Master Kung.

Something always comes up! Why is it
taking so long to deliver the equipment?

You know I need them for Mr Tojo's film
tomorrow morning!

Sorry, Master Kung.
This officer needs to search the truck.

What? You need to search Mr Tojo's truck?

On I see. That won't be necessary.
We don't want to cause Mr Tojo any delay.

Please go ahead.

Thank you.

Sure.

They're here!

Mrs Kung.

Come on in! Come on, hurry up...

Let me help them settle down.

Miss Kwai-seng, I'm going inside.

Miss Kwai-seng.

Kam.

Hok-yiu, what took you so long?
I was worried sick.

We almost screwed up.
Luckily I went to have a look.

The Japanese wouldn't let them pass through
until they saw me.

Mrs Kung, thank you for lending us the pass.

We did what we had to do.

I should get going.

Good bye, Miss Kwai-seng.

Kwai-seng, I'm so sorry about
what happened to the Chief.

He was killed by the Japanese.

You and Hok-yiu have saved all our lives.
I can't thank you enough.

Please don't say that. You helped me a lot.

That's the least I could do
to make up for our mistakes.

After all,
Brother Tong sacrificed himself to save me.

Shan told me Chief said your name out loud
before he died.

He said he owed you so much,
and he'd repay you in his next life.

Kwai-seng, having betrayed you
is the biggest mistake of my lite.

I wish I could make it up to you.
Maybe in my next life.

From my first day in France,
I realised I couldn't live without you.

I finally understand that
I can never break away from you.

Marry me and be my wife.

I know you like flowers.
I planted this sweet tea olive tree for you.

This tree has a special meaning,
hope for rebirth.

Can we forget about the past
and start over again?

I'm going to grow flowers
all over the place.

It will be beautiful when they bloom.
Then we can come back and look at them.

Be careful out there

Don't worry, I'll make it back.
See you in the French Concession.

I'll wait for you by the lake.

Just another love letter from Kiu Ngo-tin.

I still can't get hold of Director Hon.
What should I do?

"There's not much time left.
Hurry up and look for Hong"?

Lai Siu-hong?

Master Koo...

Master Koo came to watch opera.

Koo Siu-lau is here?

Yes, let's go!
Let's go!

Master Koo, may I have your autograph?
Master Koo, your autograph please...

Can I have your autograph?

Master Koo,
can I have your autograph please?

Master Koo's handwriting is really neat!

Thank you.

Master Koo, may I have your autograph?

The Japanese will harm Hung Yat-hing,
Chan Lok-sang, Hung Shek-yam.

Escort them out of Shanghai immediately.

Yes, Kiu Ngo-tin asked me to join the EAAP,
but I turned him down.

But I was informed that

the Japanese knew you turned him down
and ordered Kiu Ngo-tin to kill you.

As a way to warn the others?
Thanks for letting me know.

Your master is siding with the enemy,
but you know the right thing to do.

If one day I return to Shanghai in peace,
I won't forget your kindness.

I'm just doing what all Chinese people
ought to do.

I'll get you out of Shanghai
as soon as possible.

All right then. Goodbye!

Goodbye.

Mr Hung.

So you told him?
I've also told the other two.

Shame on you, Kiu Ngo-tin.

You want to please the Japanese, huh?
Not so easy.

Siu-hong,
how did you get all the information?

I have an informant working for
the Japanese. That's why I could stop them.

Informant? Who can it be?

OK, I'll stop asking. I trust you.

I wonder why Mr Kiu
invited all of us to dinner tonight.

Kiu Ngo-tin is openly working for
the Japanese.

This is such a grand dinner gathering.
Who knows what he's up to?

You're early, gentlemen!
Thank you very much!

Mr Kiu.

Hi, Mr Chan.

Mr Kiu.
Hi, Mr Yik.

Sit down please.

This is Mr Fok.
I suppose you all know who he is.

Sit down please.

Let's talk before we eat, shall we?

Sure...

I invited you here today
to talk about business.

As you know, I'm helping the Japanese
build the East Asian Association for Peace.

It aims to promote business between the
Japanese Sector and the French Concession.

I'm inviting you all to join us today.

Mr Kiu, we run our businesses separately.

Why must you force us
to do business with the Japanese?

I understand you gentlemen
only do business with the Frenchmen,

but as businessmen, we go to wherever
there are business opportunities.

As long as we keep the ball rolling,
we'll continue to survive.

Kiu Ngo-tin, we patriotic businessmen
want nothing to do with the Japanese.

I think you gentlemen
may have misunderstood the Japanese.

There's a war going on.

In every war, both sides suffer,
but that's not what we want.

Unfortunately, every war is merciless.

Even the national government has withdrawn
and abandoned us.

What can we businessmen do?
We need to think for ourselves too.

Kiu Ngo-tin, if you want to convince us,
tell us what you can offer.

Mr Yik, that's a very good point.

You called yourself a patriotic businessman,
but now you're asking what I can offer.

You're hoarding and cornering
the rice market.

Everyone knows that.

You've made quite some profits
from our nation's crisis.

So that's what you call
a patriotic businessman?

Everyone wants to make more money.

You also became a Japanese stooge
for your own benefits.

I am not an unreasonable man.

Whoever works with me gets 50% share.

I'm in...

It's my pleasure to work with you.

I'm in.

I look forward to a pleasurable partnership!

Thank you.

(Hang, all done)

You're going out?
I've made you some ginseng tea.

I'll drink it when I'm back.

Don't wait for me if I'm late for dinner.
I'm in a hurry.

Be careful.
