If Tin is in love with you,

I can live with it.

But at least let me know.

You got this all wrong, Mrs. Kiu!

Mr. Kiu and I are working for the country.

Is it true Tin has been in love with Siu-lau for a long time?

He bought 2 tickets for the 7 o'clock train tomorrow.

He must be going away with Siu-lau.

Ching Siu-dip will be on that train with the document.

I want her and the file.

Tin, I did what you asked me to.

Yuet-lan? You're still up?

So are you!

Drink this to calm your nerves. You'll sleep better.

How did you know I couldn't sleep?

You were always edgy the night before a performance,

and wanted to bunk up with me before you could sleep.

You remember?

You'll be in danger tomorrow.

You must get enough rest.

Yuet-lan, are you mad at me for lying to you?

Don't be silly!

You two are doing it for the country. Why would I be mad?

I think you're very strong instead.

So are you!

You must be careful tomorrow.

Bunk up with me.

Aren't you going to the train station?

I figure I'm screwed if Yuet-lan lied to me.

I came over to may it safe.

We have enough men positioned at the train station.

Anything fishy?

Mrs. Kiu went up last night and didn't come out.

That's odd! The wife busted the mistress' home and nothing happened?

Yuet-lan is upstairs?

All three of them under the same roof?

I bet Ching Siu-dip is upstairs.

Good thing I came prepared.

Kiu Ngo-tin, you started out with me,

your tricks can't fool me.

Look! It's Brother Tin and Koo Siu-lau!

Ching Siu-dip was injured.

That's Ching Siu-dip, not Koo Siu-lau.

You can't fool me!

Chung, come with me!

You stay here! Right!

Right, Brother Shan!

Mr. Kiu, are they following us?

I went through trouble to set this up

to make Kung Siu-shan think you're Siu-dip and fall into my trap.

Mrs. Kiu?

Is that Ching Siu-dip?

Get in the car!

Let's go...

Brother Shan, this is not the way to the train station.

We have 2 hours before the train leaves.

Kiu Ngo-tin and Ching Siu-dip must be going to get what Tojo was missing.

Good, I can kill two birds with one stone.

Siu-hong, take care of Miss Ching.

Thanks.

I have contacted Director Hon, he'll pick you up.

Now that I'm safe, I need to get something.

They hid it in Shankeng!

Search the premises! Yes!

Follow me! Yes!

Brother Shan, there's nothing here.

You won't find it here.

I'll let you go after Ching Siu-dip leaves Shanghai.

I'm sorry, Brother Tin!

I'll settle this with you later!

Director Hon.

Siu-dip, are you alright?

Thanks to Mr. Kiu's proteges, I can see you again.

I'm happy I can personally give this to you.

This is quite a nice surprise.

We must destroy their bacteriological weapons factory.

Mr. Lai, thanks for liaising with Mr. Kiu in our resistance work.

Please don't say that!

I only went along with Brother Tin's plan.

He's the one who faced the greatest danger and grievance.

We were so wrong about him.

Siu-dip, you must leave.

Tong Lik will take you to the nearby base and then send you to Chongqing.

I must stay here and help Mr. Kiu.

Sir, the Chairman has other assignments for us.

It's against protocol for you to act on your own.

Mr. Kiu is in grave danger, I must save him.

I will explain to the Chairman.

Be careful and I'll see you later.

Brother Shan, Ching Siu-dip got away!

Loser! What's the matter with you?

I'm sorry, Brother Shan!

I was following her when suddenly men came out of nowhere

and escorted her away.

That's outrageous! Go look for her now.

I'll chop you to pieces if you don't find her!

Right, Brother Shan!

If Tojo found out Ching Siu-dip got away,

we're as good as dead.

Since we caught Brother Tin,

let's turn him over to Tojo and save our own necks.

Don't tell me what to do!

Open up! Kiu Ngo-tin, where is Ching Siu-dip?

My plan must have worked.

Don't think I will spare you.

You'd wish you were dead when I turn you over to Genji Tojo.

I know that.

Your ambush by the Government was a show meant for me.

You orchestrated that in order to get close to Tojo.

I looked after you like a brother.

Is this how you treat a brother? Where's your loyalty?

The day you bet your money on the Japanese we parted company.

Loyalty doesn't apply to traitors like you.

There's a war going on, I'm only going with the flow.

I know the Japanese will win.

They will definitely lose.

Brother Shan, Genji Tojo has found out already.

What should we do?

Hand him over to the Imperial Army.

Kung Siu-shan turned us in.

I think they will execute us soon.

Don't worry! Not until the last minute, we still have a chance.

Siu-hong will try to save us once he realises we're in trouble.

I just thought of the opera Muk Kwai-ying Takes Command.

When she took over the Commander's seal,

the thunderous clamour of war drums was so overwhelming!

She knew the danger ahead

but she was still willing to die for her country on the battlefield.

We're not dying on the battlefield but we sent Siu-dip away

and gave the formula to the Government and saved a lot of people.

You must really like this play.

You said you wanted to see an actress in this play.

I'd love to see Master Koo on stage.

I'm afraid I won't get a ticket.

Have you seen a ticket?

I know you have always wanted to see me perform.

Let me sing for you now.

Bravo...

I'm worried about you.

Only when you're safe can I ease my mind.

It'll be over soon. Trust me!

It's destiny.

(The roar of the battle drums...)

Siu-lau, are you scared?

I chose this path!

I'm sorry I got you into this mess.

There's something on my mind.

If I don't say it now, I may never get the chance to say it.

I gave you a ticket back then,

I know you've kept it till this day.

All the things you have done for me...

I know how you feel.

I want us to be together and never stay apart.

Thank you.

In position...Ready...

Siu-lau...

Take us to the hospital! Siu-lau was shot!

Hang in there, Siu-lau!

Mrs. Kiu!

Where's Tin?

Inside!

I was so worried!

I thought something had happened to you!

They said you were taken to...

Don't worry, I'm fine!

Where's Siu-lau?

What happened?

Siu-lau...what's going on?

I told you to be careful!

How did this happen? Siu-lau...

Contain your grief!

You're right. Forget the unhappy things.

Destiny is not something you can ask for.

Stop trying to fix me up.

I'm worried about your happiness.

Tin kept the ticket to your debut of Muk Kwai-ying.

He said he was once in love with you.

I'm worried about you.

I want to stay here with everyone

I can't leave at a time like this.

Brother Tin! Brother Tin!

I'm sorry, Brother Tin!

I took the liberty of summoning them here.

Good. I'm glad to see all of you!

I wanted to tell you

you risked your lives to save me today,

I owe you all a favour, which I hope to return some day.

Please don't say that, Brother Tin!

I'm sorry we thought you were a traitor.

We should not have doubted you!

I'm sorry, Brother Tin...

Get up! It's not your fault, you didn't know.

How is Master Koo?

She died in the hospital.

We must kill that traitor Kung Siu-shan to avenge her.

Yes! Yes!

Calm down! Revenge can wait.

We must first save our country.

Siu-hong is right!

We still have a tot to do and must work together against the enemy.

Fight the enemy!

Drive the Japanese out of China.

The French Concession is relatively safe.

It'll be our base from now on.

Siu-dip got away safely.

The bacteriological weapon formula was sent to Chongqing.

Our troops will blow up their factory soon.

We've saved many lives.

Master Koo's sacrifice was well worth it.

I'm sure she'd be pleased to know that.

Now that I have blown my cover, what's your plan?

Trouble with the Boss?

Saving you was against his wishes.

He didn't want to save me?

He found out I released the Axe Gang members because of Mo Kwun-chiu.

He intends to settle the scores?

I don't know! He's not a trusting man, you must be careful.

Saving me under such circumstances may look bad on you.

I can't watch you die!

A friend like you is worth dying for!

Likewise. And I must remind you,

now that you've blown your cover, Tojo will come after you.

No, I'm going after him.

Stupid! What's wrong with you?

Ching Siu-dip got away, the execution ground was attacked

and they saved Kiu Ngo-tin.

What do you expect me to tell the Headquarters?

I'm sorry, Mr. Tojo! It was an oversight.

I can't believe Kiu Ngo-tin was so hard to kill.

Oversight? Give me a reason to spare you!

Chak Kam-tong is dead, and Kiu Ngo-tin betrayed you.

I'm the only one left of the 3 tycoons.

Without me, the Imperial Army has no control over the French Concession.

How dare you negotiate with me!

I didn't mean to.

But it's useless for you to kill me.

If you spare my fife,

I promise I'll make up for my mistakes.

Very well! I'll spare your pathetic life.

Don't forget, even without the tycoons,

the Japanese Imperial Army can still run Shanghai.

I'm going back to Japan tomorrow for debriefing.

While I'm gone, think about how you can make up for your mistakes.

I'll decide if I'll let you live when I get back.

I won’t let you down.

Before that Japanese kills me, I'll bury you with me.

Help me make things right if you want to live.

I got wind the guerillas have a secret communications centre in Zhabei.

Arrest them and torture them.

We've tried that before,

but these guerillas have a tight trap.

They haven't met me yet.

Hok-yiu!

What is it, Father?

Did you leave the camera and the film here?

Yes, Mr. Tojo wanted me to start shooting the film again.

But considering the situation,

I decided to wait and see before I started filming.

Don't let that go to waste.

Get someone to film something for me.

If you can't, do it yourself.

What do you want to film?

You want me to film the interrogation?

Just roll the camera, and don't screw up!

Kneel down!

Get down. ..

Hurry up!

Hok-yiu, let's begin.

Roll it!

Brother Shan!

How many of you are there? Where are they?

Traitor...Running dog!

A man of integrity? I like that!

We'll see how pigheaded you are!

Brother Shan!

Do it! Chop off his head!

Loser!

You'll end up like him if you don't tell me.

Your turn!

I don't know anything. I just live next door.

I'll tell you...

I'll tell you, Lam Ka-wei...

...Chi-kin, Huabei Road...

Chan Sei-di...

...No. 2 Zhabei Street.

Is that it?

We told you everything.

We have the names and address.

The name list and the footage should be able to shut Tojo up.

What should we do with them?

Let them go...

Right!

...to Hell!

I don't want to die. Please let me go!

We did what you asked of us, Brother Tin.

Brother Tin!

There you are! Mr. Kiu!

I've brought Ting-ting because it's not safe where she lives.

Welcome! Make yourself at home! Sit down!

Please have a seat!

Mr. Kiu, I'm sorry I was wrong about you

and wrote those nasty things in the newspapers.

It's nothing! I've read your stories. Not bad.

Ting-ting has pictures to show you.

These Japanese are so barbaric!

It wasn't the Japanese.

I got word Kung Siu-shan tortured them in order to catch the guerillas.

He killed all these people?

At first, he killed those who wouldn't talk.

But in the end, guerilla or not, he killed them all.

That traitor is a beast for killing innocent people.

Even a traitor didn't have to go that far!

He's a disaster...

He deserves to die.

I've also found out he already has a name list of the guerillas.

When Tojo returns from Japan...

He has gone mad, truly mad!

I must stop him!

Thank you! Brother Kiu!

Lieutenant Hon!

Brother Hon!

I want to talk to you about Kung Siu-shan.

You knew about his cold-blooded murder.

Why didn't you do something?

He has the Japanese backup in the Chinese Territory.

In the French Concession, he's well guarded by his proteges.

We simply can't go near him.

But I can.

What are you going to do?

I didn't kill you! It wasn't my fault!

Hok-yiu!

I didn't want it...

What's wrong? Another nightmare?

I'm fine!

What's wrong with you lately?

You seem distracted and have nightmares all the time.

You can't eat or sleep. What's wrong?

I can't tell you' I promised Father!

Why not? I'm your Mother!

Father told me not to. He'd kill me if I told you.

Did your Father kill someone again?

He killed a lot of people.

They're all Chinese.

There was blood all over the place.

I can't talk about it.

Hok-yiu.

Your Father is becoming more brutal.

Will ask him not to kill again. Don't worry!

He'll get retribution.

Please tell him to stop.

Where is Mrs. Kung? She's not eating?

She wants to be with Master Hok-yiu.

Like mother like son!

Am I really that scary?

What's that?

Smoked duck.

Mrs. Kung told me to buy it for you from King Heung Lau.

Take out? Is it poisoned?

You! Try it!

Me?

Eat it...Why are you not eating?

Is it poisoned? Eat it...

Brother Shan, please don't do this!

What a bunch of losers! Get out!

What a bunch of losers! Get out!

Why didn't you two come down for dinner?

You scared Hok-yiu to death!

I beg you not to kill anymore.

You'll get retribution!

Retribution? You want me dead too?

I don't want you to die.

Heaven wants you dead for your evildoing.

Stop killing Chinese people for the Japanese.

They deserved to die!

Why must they resist the Japanese?

Why couldn't they just obey the Japanese and live?

The Japanese will kill me if I don't kill for them!

I'm in too deep now!

Why am I doing this? I'm doing it for the family, for you!

That's enough! If you care about us,

let's leave Shanghai right away!

Leave? Wake up, Japan will soon rule China.

Brother Shan, Tojo is back!

Let's talk in the study!

Mrs. Kung, telephone call for you from the Refuge House.

Hello?

It's me, Tin!

Tin?

I need to see you. It's about Brother Shan.

You want to see me?

Shan won't let me go out.

I'll think of a way...Very well!

Mrs. Kung, where are you going?

Brother Shan said you're not allowed to go out.

I'm going out with him. Get the car ready.

He's coming out...Hurry up!

Yes !

I'm glad you're not helping the Japanese!

But I got word, in order to help the Japanese catch the guerillas,

Brother Shan killed a lot of innocent people

I'm worried sick about him.

If he keeps this up, there's no turning back for him.

I have a man to stop him, but I need your help.

What can I do?

He has the backing of Genji Tojo.

If he agrees to help me kill Tojo, he can atone his crimes.

Will then send you to a safe place,

away from Shanghai, maybe somewhere abroad,

where no one will go after him for revenge.

You want me to persuade him?

Forget it! He won't listen to me.

I know he won't.

But if you were in danger,

he'd do anything in his power to take out Genji Tojo.

You're using me to blackmail him?

No, I'm asking you for help.

I can't think of any other way.

I'll do whatever that can help Shan.

Thank you!

Are you all blind?

How can you let my wife get away?

She must have gone to the Refuge House.

Hurry up and go pick her up!

Right, Brother Shan!

Brother Shan, Brother Tin is here!

Brother Tin!

How dare you show your face!

I'm worried about you because your wife has disappeared.

How did you know Kam is missing?

What do you think?

It's me. Put her on.

Hang on!

Hello? Shan, it's me.

Kam...

How dare you use my wife to blackmail me!

If she so much as loses a hair,

you'll die a most horrible death!

Don't get huffy with me. I came to strike a deal with you.

It's alright if you don't want it.

Stay where you are!

You want the name list? I'll give it to you.

But you must let Kam go.

The name list is a must.

But I need your help on something else.

I want you to help me kill Genji Tojo.

Are you crazy? He has many bodyguards

and his mansion is guarded by soldiers.

It's not easy to go near him.

Will you do it or not?

Even if we kill Genji Tojo, you think we can get away?

Even within the French Concession they'll find a way to kill us.

I can work it out. Did you make a film for him?

So?

Take the film to Tojo.

Bring the name list with you.

Then you'll get close to him.

That's too dangerous.

It's just as dangerous for me.

You want Tojo to die or your wife?

Master!

Did Shan agree?

That means he still has a conscience, and worries about you and Hok-yiu.

At least he's doing something right.

Don't worry. I won't let him make any more mistakes.

He's impulsive and foolhardy.

I'm glad you've kept an eye on him all these years.

Or else he would have been dead by now.

You don't blame me for using you?

Why say that? We're family.

I know you had no choice

and this is the only way to kill Genji Tojo.

After tomorrow night, everything will come to an end.

Still up? You didn't have to do this.

There are things I must do myself.

I'm worried. It sounds dangerous.

Don't worry! It's nothing, I'll be fine.

War is brutal. So many people have died.

Siu-lau left us...and the Chief!

How I wish there was no war.

Don't talk about it.

Luckily our family is still together.

Without a country, there's no family.

Whatever...just be careful tomorrow.

(Who knows where the end lies)

(or when darkness will pass by)

(Countless unspeakable wishes)
