Episode 12

Hello, Uncle Li.

I am Chi Cheng.

My brother offended you today.

Please forgive him.

Believe me.

We came here not to make troubles for you.

Instead, we're here to make friends.

It's fine to make friends.

But I like friends who shows their sincerity.

Since you came here,

you are my distinguished guests.

We shall drink a couple cups together

as per our custom here.

In the troubled times,

the wine is very precious.

Drinking competition is fair.

If we win,

please follow our rule.

Uncle Li, you must do business with us.

If we lose,

the two largest casinos in Macao owned by Xinghe Society

will be yours.

What can I do with your casinos?

If you lose,

you must follow my rule.

Don't worry.

To you.

Hello.

Minister Bertrand, are you looking for me?

You don't need to see me off.

Go and see if there's anything left in our warehouse.

Find someone to clear them up overnight.

Throw away the useless,

the rest to the black market.

Do you hear me?

Sure. I'll do it right now.

Slow down, Wei.

How are you feeling?

We underestimated the woman's drinking capacity.

It must be hard for you.

They really wanna to make this trade.

The Vichy Government must have pressured them.

From this perspective, we can wrestle with them.

But now we've run out of time.

She's keen on this thing

even it's not her business.

I can tell.

She must have some special relationship

with this businessman.

What we should do now is

using their relation

to draw forth that Japanese.

Okay.

Water.

Come closer.

Slowly.

Mr. Chi,

how's everything going?

I'm fine.

President Jin is sleeping.

Did you go to meet Li Kuinan tonight?

How'd it go?

It's too hard to know

what the man really wants.

I can't figure out if he's bluffing

or just finding faults.

My local friends say

Li Kuinan is a brutal but straight-forward man.

I don't think he will try to find faults with you.

But obviously, he doesn't want to do business with me.

Now we can only depend on

the French Government

to purchase grains and timber.

But the French ...

Where's the translator?

He knows Vietnam pretty well.

Yep. That guy...

That guy just takes part in munitions.

He's not interested in purchasing grains and timber.

And your last appearance

made us pretty embarrassed.

So now we don't contact each other.

Since then,

please take care tomorrow, Mr. Chi.

Feel free to contact me

if you need any help.

I'll go for sleep now.

Good night.

Good night.

So yummy.

It must be pretty hard to find me, right?

Of course I need to do some research before meeting you.

I know Uncle Li likes the rice noodle here.

It's no secret here.

You did a lot of research.

Oh, right.

Have you had breakfast, Mr. Chi?

Yes. Thanks, Uncle Li.

I know you will come to see me.

You are a determined man.

You are wrong, Uncle Li.

I am a man that never gives up.

Exactly.

I promised to Jin Xiang.

But I also said

I don't talk to you.

I've just said that

I am a person never gives up.

You know, my fellow brothers are in danger.

I came a long way here

just for purchasing some supplies

to help people in need.

If I offended you in some way,

please forgive me.

Don't mistake me, Mr. Chi.

I don't have any prejudice against you.

You have your own right to choose business partners.

But you are a businessman after all.

I'm also a businessman.

We focus on business topic.

If you know the situation in Saigon,

you shouldn't make it hard on me.

Without a patron,

you want me to partner with a foreigner.

That's too risky for me.

Uncle Li,

I have Xinghe Society Club as my back-up.

Even so, you still don't trust me?

I need support from official.

Do you understand?

If no official support,

doing business with a stranger...

Mr. Chi.

Excuse me.

Wait a moment, Uncle Li.

Mr. Chi, you have connections with Japanese Government?

Just an identity.

Don't mistake me.

I have no political stand.

I'm just a little curious.

An outsider in Vietnam

can be so strong?

You should accept my respect.

Uncle Li, you must be kidding.

I just wanna an identity to protect myself.

It's also my honor

to be partner with you

if you trust on the identity.

I like young people with both excellent

and humble character.

You are definitely

my friend now!

President Jin has a good drinking capacity

as well as her ability to pick up her partner.

Thank you, Uncle Li.

Though you are young,

you have a long-term insight.

Since you'd like to sell me your

wine regardless of our unpleasant past.

Then Vietnam Gang should not forget our manners.

I have a suggestion.

I will purchase

those robbed goods

as we talked before.

Do you agree?

What do you think of it, Mr. Chi?

Uncle Li, you are a good lead of this place.

You keep your world.

But I won't accept that batch of goods.

Why?

It's my great honor to do business with you.

What's more. You are a relative of President Jin.

There will be chances for us to cooperate in the future.

Why do we care about just a couple bottles of wine?

Good point.

That's all for our cooperation, right?

For our continuous cooperation.

Be assured.

I won't keep those robbed goods by myself.

How about

we sell them to black market together?

I promise

your cut will be 20 percent more.

Thanks, Uncle Li.

Okay.

- May I have the bill? - It's on me.

Brother-in-law.

I am convinced.

You are definitely a business genius.

It seems Uncle Li keep his word.

He's a man of his word.

Let's say, thank you for your good drinking capacity.

Feng,

tell Fei that

Uncle Li's men will pick up the goods tomorrow.

You all should get prepared for that.

Okay.

The best way is to read one's mind.

Mr. Chi give him a couple bottles of wine as a gift.

And then you get much more profit.

Not only extend your business to Vietnam market

but also make friends with a great lead.

So impressive.

I believe if you were me, you would do the same thing.

But I didn't expect that

a gang leader would need

support from Japanese Government to do business with you.

What did he mean?

It's a turbulent time.

Li Kuinan is a normal man that's afraid of losing.

But Vietnamese gangs

always have no political stance.

They don't like intervention from the government.

It's out of my expectation that Li Kuinan

is quite different as before.

What is it?

Li Kuinan

asked us to his nightclub to drink

and negotiate.

Negotiate?

Didn't he wanna break his word?

What's your opinion?

It's impossible for him to break his word.

I guess he may just still have some concern.

It seems I have to

take one more friend to go there tonight.

What are you two thinking?

Fine.

I won't go to the nightclub.

I still have a hangover.

I won't be fine if I go on to drink.

I'll go first.

Go back to sleep.

Here we go.

Nice to meet you. Come here.

I didn't expect

Major Yamamoto is also one of your friends.

It's out of my expectation.

Mr. Li, tell me tell you.

Ye Chongjun is my classmate.

And he's the elite of Empire.

He's a very famous figure in Hong Kong.

Ye Chong.

Finally, I know your full name.

You had a good performance in the ring.

Very impressive.

I said

you were an extraordinary man at that time.

The elite of the Empire.

Come on.

Congrats.

Cheers.

Uncle Li.

I'm flattered.

Do you still have some concern

about our business?

Come out.

What did he buy?

Some medicine.

President,

he said Li Kuinan often came to buy medicine.

This is the receipt.

Send out right now.

Take care of He Ying.

Send it now.

Okay.

Officer.

We've monitored He Ying for 24 hours.

Well done.

Japanese is everywhere.

Don't run around.

Go home now.

Finally we sent them out.

Yep.

We can have a break now.

After delivering this batch and getting the money,

we just need to go the customs

to pick up timber and rice brother-in-law already booked.

Mr. Chi.

You have a very good business partner now.

Why did you come here?

He said you had a very good business partner now.

Why did you come here?

What did you mean?

He said what did you mean?

Mr. Bertrand,

there's an old saying in China.

Money should be earned by all kinds of people.

Vietnam is governed by Vichy Government right now.

Water cannot overflow the mountain.

I don't wanna be your enemy.

I just wanna be your friend.

So these things

show my sincerity

and respect.

Mr. Chi, you have a good manner.

We French

respect people with gentleman spirit.

I like to make friends with you.

Thank you.

Well.

Since I've opened

a marine channel between Vietnam and Hong Kong.

I will often come to Vietnam for business from now on.

You have my promise.

For every business running in Vietnam,

I will submit 10 percent of my profit to you,

wether Vichy Government is in it or not.

So it'll be appreciated if you

and Governor Jean de Guerre

can give me help and support.

Mr.Chi.

Since you put it so straight up,

our government won't just

accept your money in vain.

Let's say.

Mr. Chi, you wanna buy Food and woods.

I will help you coordinate

officials in Hanoi City Hall to help you.

What's more,

Governor Jean went back to Hanoi City Hall for work.

I'll transfer your words

to him.

I believe when you arrive at Hanoi,

General Rang will meet you in person.

You have our support

as well as the Japanese

Mr. Chi you will be on a roll in Saigon.

Thanks a lot.

Any telegraph for me?

He Ying is all right.

The call hasn't come yet.

Chi Cheng!

Chi Cheng!

Have a look!

This is what Li Kuinan bought

from the black market these months.

You went to black market again!

This is not important.

Then what is important?

Have a look.

Have a look.

Here.

These are all Western medicine.

Yep.

I've checked.

He bought some silk like things at times.

Those things are bought by the rich living in Saigon.

As for wine and cigarette,

he always sold it to local club and bar.

But grains

and almost all the medicine

are sold to the north of Vietnam.

What do you mean?

I haven't figured out

who bought those grains and medicine.

But I'm sure about one thing

that they are not businessmen,

and have nothing to do with

the French Government and Japanese.

I guess they may be

local citizens.

Or...

Or people from other gangs.

Sounds too simple.

Come in.

Who is it?

Ye Chong.

I asked Major Ye here to discuss the route to the north.

A map?

Where did you get this?

From Uncle Li.

He said it'll be safer to follow his normal route.

No way.

Are you afraid

he will hurt us?

The moon is so beautiful today.

The moon is always the same to me.

After we go into the jungle tomorrow,

we won't see such a beautiful moon.

I can't express the feeling

you give me.

You have too many secrets.

Do I?

I don't think you have fewer secrets than me.

Major Ye, you don't need to be so servous.

We're here on a trip.

Why don't you have a rest?

I don't like a rest.

It makes me feel dangerous.

Are you afraid of danger, Major Ye?

Through these days,

I saw a real businessman.

It means a lot to me.

If there's any inconvenience because of my following,

please forgive me, Mr. Chi.

Don't be silly. There's no inconvenience.

Thanks to your help, I can do the business this time.

Please be assured, Major Ye.

Transfer my promise to General Sato.

The benefit of the Empire will be my top.

I won't let you down.

Is enough to not let me down?

So what else?

I just rely on you totally.

It's getting cool now.

Major Ye, you grew up in Japan.

Aren't you accustomed to the tropical climate like this?

Exactly!

I've already missed frozen nights.

Have you ever seen snow, Mr. Chi?

Yep. In Switzerland.

But it's an old story.

Since you saw snow in your childhood,

and I've been to Japan before,

which city were you growing up in, Major Ye?

Mr. Chi,

how long have you been in Switzerland?

Less than one year.

Have you been there before?

I just wanna go there.

If I have the chance,

please give me your suggestion.

Sure. We can go there together in the future.

Okay!

Extra, extra... Newspapers.

Extra, extra...

Give me one.

Here you are.

Extra, extra...

General,

We received Ye Chong's telegraph

from Vietnam this morning.

They said, when the goods waiting for delivery at the port,

they were robbed.

With some communication,

they've saved the lost

and sold the goods smoothly.

They are now moving to the interior of Vietnam

to buy a large amount of grains and timber.

In a word, everything goes well.

Well done.

Ye Chong and Chi Cheng

are both elites.

When they get together,

no one can be compared with them.

Any other news?

I heard Jin Xiang,

the president of Xinghe Society Club,

went to Vietnam in secret too.

That woman.

Maybe Chi Cheng asked her to go together.

She is a disaster to stay in Hong Kong.

Very persuasive.

In my view,

It won't be long before

a large amount of goods arrives in Hong Kong.

Or maybe,

they will come back earlier.

Have you disturbed

He Ying recently?

Nope.

I dare not.

Don't touch that woman.

As for the long-term plan,

we can discuss it with Ye Chong

when he comes back.

Yes.

Miss He,

This a meal Major Ye asks us to prepare for you.

Enjoy yourself.

Let's go. Yes.

Living to eat.

Miss He.

You said you didn't wanna see our Japanese?

Then Major Ye said he

would keep you accompanied.

Traitor! Asshole!

He Ying is staying at home now.

Our people are watching her all along.

As for her several trips before,

she was followed by someone.

I guess it was intended

to remind her not going out.

How can you always guess?

I just wanna a name.

Who's reminding her?

Are they Communists?

Yep.

I'll try to find the answer.

Moreover,

my intention is to find that person we want

by using He Ying as a bait.

What should we do?

Don't forget

we have another man to use.

Chong, 8 years old. Mom

Mr. Miyamoto,

I...

You don't need to say more.

I don't care our past.

Thank you, Mr. Miyamoto.

You should know your own value.

I'll do my best

for fulfilling your order.

Okay.

This is your following task.

Isn't this Ye Chong's woman?

She's a Communist.

So she's also within your duty.

Do you want me to kill her?

What?

Are you afraid?

She's belonging to Ye Chong anyway.

She's a Communist.

What can Ye Chong do with you?

Keep one thing in your mind forever.

Your life is under my control.

I can make you live

or died.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Do one more thing for me.

before you kill her

Recently, the Japanese is becoming crazier

on searching for Communists.

Many places of anti-Japanese

have been found.

But our place is safe

owing to

my effort.

Blue Panther,

I'll report to Shang Feng

about your great effort.

But we should be very careful

at such times.

Inform our companions

to take good care of themselves.

Fine.

One more thing,

Miyamoto met me.

He asked me kill He Ying.

Kill He Ying?

Yep.

You agreed?

I have to say yes.

He Ying may be a Communist.

And she has an unknown relation

with Ye Chong.

So for this matter

I would like to ask your opinion.

Miyamoto asked you to do

such an important thing at this time.

It shows his great trust for you.

And He Ying is not important to

our BIS.

You can do it without any concern.

After that,

Miyamoto will trust you more.

Fine.

Chief,

If Blue Panther kills He Ying,

Ye Chong won't let him go.

It's none of your business.

Don't get into this.

Blue Panther,

you did a great job.

I will definitely ask a reward for you.

Be assured, Chief.

I'll do it perfectly.

Okay.

Back to work.

Miss Xue,

may I have a dinner

with you tonight?

Xue Ping,

Blue Panther is inviting you,

why don't you answer him?

Blue Panther is one of us.

And he works very hard.

Since he's inviting you,

you just say yes.

Chief, I...

Just a dinner.

Take it as an order.

You two

can have a good talk

by this way.

Cause the following tasks

will need your cooperation.

Go ahead.

Miss Xue,

I'll book a private room at Seafood Restaurant

and wait for you coming tonight.

This way please.

Miss Xue, please.

Miss Xue,

It's really happy for me

to see your coming here

tonight.

Here we go.

Toast to you.

You don't need to be so modest.

We both work in BIS.

We work for our organization

and anti-Japanese career.

It's my business.

So your previous join in Xinghe Society Club

was also one of the tasks.

We all admire you and Tang Feng.

You two looks so match.

People like me,

we have to keep a distance with you.

But fate

is very interesting.

We finally come together.

Whatever

you say.

Thank you.

How's everything going?

The same.

She practices every day.

Horse-riding step. Fly-cutter.

Except for buying some food and daily necessities,

she did nothing special.

But she frequently goes to

those Communist liaison office which are on the press.

She wanted to contact her superior.

May be.

But she failed.

Cause those people

are not there any longer.
