Episode 21

Fall in!

Wei.

I need to send a telegraph.

Send a telegraph.

How come Major Ye

always seem unsettled recently?

Maybe because I didn't sleep well these days.

Is that so?

Being on the go every day

is indeed exhausting.

But with that said,

we've caught

such a vital criminal this time

We can have a long time interrogate him

at our military government.

What do you think?

Is that right?

Interrogation is Mr. Miyamoto's specialty

I should

learn it from you.

You are being modest.

By the way,

is there any news from He Ying?

I heard that there is a group of students

organizing some kind of mobilization meeting.

They are just shouting out some slogans

and playing some tricks.

The key is what kind of activities

those students

are organizing and planning.

I've already sent He Ying to spy on them.

We'll get some updates soon.

Major Ye is indeed better than me.

You have always have this natural and dignified look.

But once it comes to a woman,

you will always come up with a way.

So it's me who need to learn from you.

Major Ye.

Tell me.

How did you conquer

such a tough bone

like He Ying?

Do you truly believe that

somebody who wanted to kill you

will work for you?

She is not working for me,

but working for us.

I believe that people tend to

work for those powerful.

Whether she is trustworthy or not,

we'll get to know

over a period of time.

That makes sense.

As the old saying goes

trust the person in position,

fire the people you suspect.

Since you trust He Ying this much,

she must have her value to being alive.

You make me feel that

you are a senior underground spy.

You must be very familiar with the process here.

How about you start it first?

Of course I know.

Once I'm kept here,

I have no hope of getting out.

But there's one thing you have to understand.

For all the information I know,

I won't tell you a single word of it.

It's not so easy even if you're determined to die.

Communism can't help you,

not to mention saving you.

I don't want to talk about communism with you at all.

Because you know knowing about it.

My belief to me

is the most sacred.

It's not for me to

find an opportunity to save myself.

Not for saving yourself?

How noble is that!

You can't even save your own wife and your own kid.

Frankly speaking,

you are a loser.

You did that?

I feel that it's not so important

if it was me who did it.

How about we talk about you first?

This person is very interesting.

Ye Chong.

You can use your own way

to interrogate him again later.

Yes.

Okay.

I'm the person

you were searching so hard to find.

You are HK?

Yes.

Since Cormorant and Sail was exposed,

I'm the highest level of undercover in Hong Kong.

No.

You forget one person,

Autumn Cicada.

Autumn Cicada has been killed by you.

I'm the only one

in the entire Hong Kong

that can contact our superiors.

The well-known Mr. HK.

I appreciate you being straightforward.

You're indeed different from

other people I've seen.

To such an important person like you,

we can have some

room for negotiation.

All their lives

are saved in exchange of me

being arrested.

Do you think it's possible

that I'm here to negotiate terms with you?

I guess that you chose to expose yourself

to save your comrades

because you thought

your wife and kid

had already died.

So you thought you had nothing

to hang on in life.

Right?

Whether they get to live or die

is up to you now.

During our search,

we caught them by accident.

Not to expect that

they are your family.

What are you saying?

They are so desperate now

to get out of the misery.

There is nothing you can do

to save the undercover workers

in Hong Kong.

Why not try something

you're capable of?

Dad, hug, hug.

If this picture

can't make you change your mind,

then I will respect you,

and let you die.

Although we don't share the same belief.

But our aim is the same.

We both hope that Hong Kong

Oh, right.

Actually I forgot to tell you

you kid is quite cute.

This is Miyamoto's specialty.

Nobody can face up to

his family in torture.

Not even HK.

Off you go.

HK was caught.

Master.

How do you know?

How is it going on your end?

Just out of the interrogation room

I'm schedule to do the interrogation tomorrow.

Good news. The Party

has agreed to let you two meet.

Today?

Miyamoto's team

will definitely keep a close eye on you.

That will make it very difficult.

We must do it proactively.

I have a way to kill two birds with one stone.

What's Ye Chong doing?

Why doesn't he talk ?

I don't know.

Turn up the volume.

At maximum now.

The maximum level?

What's he mumbling about?

How come it's still not clear?

Don't know.

How will you choose eventually

is up to you.

-I will end your life! -Ye Chong!

Don't be impulsive!

I don't want to talk to you.

I'll only talk to

either of you.

Do you have a choice ?

I have the name list

of all the Communist

underground in Hong Kong.

And in Hong Kong,

I'm the only one that know it.

Do you think that's enough

for me to play the game?

What do you want?

I want nothing.

It's alright if you want it.

I could give the list to you

even the liaison offices,

the code book,

the radio station.

You could have them all.

But I have one condition,

only one condition.

All of you

shall follow my commands.

Ye Chong.

Are you alright?

He is a nut!

Yes.

He is a nut.

But he is quite useful to us

My interrogation will take a while

During which time

you won't be needed.

Go back and take a good rest.

Remember,

keep your distance from the prisoners.

It's not safe for you.

It's my experience.

Thank you for sharing that with me.

I'll keep it in mind.

Other than his family,

there are three ferry tickets.

Where was he planning to go?

South Pacific.

Tell him it's permitted.

Where is his wife and child?

Prison of Military Guards Corps.

Mr. General.

There is another thing I don't understand.

Say it.

How do we make sure

after he leaves that

the list we get

is the complete one?

Ye Chong, how do you think about it?

Regarding that point,

I think we don't need to worry.

He is not the only one

who will speak.

On the first piece of info,

we can start to take actions.

I believe that the news that

the leader of Communist underground in Hong Kong

betraying them will spread soon.

At that time,

they will be rudderless

and panicky.

Then we can get more information

from any one of them.

The communist power

in Hong Kong

will be annihilated.

It's just a matter of time.

Well-said.

Miyamoto.

From now on,

you are in charge of HK's interrogation.

Keep him calm.

Make him tell as much as possible.

Ye Chong.

You will cooperate with Miyamoto

to undertake a comprehensive arrest mission.

Be quick.

General Sakai will arrive in Hong Kong next week.

I hope that before his arrival,

Hong Kong

will have a new outlook.

Yes, General.

Mr. General.

There is another thing.

HK requires to

be together with his wife and child.

Arrange that for him.

He also needs a sense of security.

Once he feels secure,

he will tell

more that we need.

May 4th, Yau Ma Tei Stone Bridge

Yau Ma Tei Stone bridge?

This is a preparatory measure.

HK knows that

his action this time

is very likely to make him exposed.

So he made thorough plans in advance

How can he be sure that

you will definitely go

and find the clues he left there?

He is not sure.

But he knows that

I will search every place.

He must have thought

everything through before he did this.

We don't know

each other's identity.

Even I don't know that

this has been HK's way

to protect our comrades.

The so called hibernator

will get riskier

if more people

know his identity.

Passing on messages in the simplest method is the safest.

In this time of crisis,

HK took the risk of exposing himself

to warn as many comrades as possible

and passed on these messages .

Master.

The time and place

might have been exposed as well.

Are we going there?

Yes.

We have to go.

We cannot let go

any chance.

Get the car ready, Wei.

Where to?

To celebrate the capture of HK,

Sato is hosting a dinner party this evening.

-But... -Go.

Comrade Chi Cheng.

Let me formally introduce myself to you.

My name is Huang Zihuang.

My code name is HK.

After this mission is completed,

I'll go back to Hong Kong.

Because I still have many unfinished missions there.

The road going back to Hong Kong is quite short,

but once you are there,

there is still a long way to go.

We all pick our own roads.

We have to keep on going.

No matter what,

you have to finish what you started.

Actually,

having a comrade fighting alongside

is very lucky to us.

The only thing I'm clear now

is that everyone I contact

will enter your protection web

and they will be protected.

I can't reveal any

specific information of them to you.

If something happened to either of us,

the burden on the other person

would become heavier.

So nothing should happen to either of us.

Now that HK

is arrested by the Japanese.

Once Ye Chong tells the Vietnam matter,

their situation

will become extremely dangerous.

This dinner is a trap.

But just because it's a trap,

Chi Cheng must go.

Under this circumstances,

going to the dinner

could possible remove the danger.

Avoiding it,

would actually

throwing away any opportunity.

Chong.

How is your ear?

It's alright.

He did that

to protect me.

If HK was the person

who went to

Vietnam with Chi Cheng,

then Chi Cheng...

This is also

the first thing I thought of.

He told me

Chi Cheng

found him through an illegal munition merchant

before he went to Vietnam

He didn't know his identity

But I think

it's not that simple.

Did he accept your proposal?

He did.

It must be solved as soon as possible.

Where is his family kept?

Military Guards Corps.

I suggested to Sato

to have Blue Panther lead the military guards

and transfer them

from the prison to the military government.

And this transfer

is our only chance to save them.

OK.

By the way,

you can't do this yourself.

Why not?

Miyamoto has been

spying on us secretly.

In this critical moment,

we can't

risk the life of

his daughter and wife.

How about this?

You can figure out a way

to pass on this message to Chi Cheng.

Whatever Chi Cheng's identity is,

they two are connected.

He will find a way to save them.

OK. Rest assured.

Leave the rest to me.

Okay.

Be safe.

Master,

Hong, calm down. What's the matter?

This is found

by the gate just now.

At eight o'clock tonight,

on Nathan Road

Zi Hua's wife and daughter

can be saved.

I agree your request.

Your wife and child

will be transferred here tonight,

and reunite with you.

Confess now

What time?

I'm asking you on what time they will arrive here?

By twelve o'clock tonight the latest.

Then we can talk

after they arrive.

HK.

I'll tell you.

There has never been one

after entering my interrogation room

walking out in one piece.

As you see,

I've been

talking to you patiently.

I've used up

all my mercy.

I hope you

are not playing tricks with me.

Rest assured.

Once I see

my wife and child,

I will take actions as we agreed.

However after you

taking control of all the liaison offices,

you shall help us leave Hong Kong.

Once we're on board,

and are leaving safely,

you will get

the rest of the name list.

I trust you.

Miyamoto.

Do you still remember the boat

which took a British spy to Hong Kong?

You mean Bern?

I'm still watching him.

I'm not talking about him.

Take a look at this list.

There is one

called Xu Zhongping.

He is the person

we want to find this time.

I'm not a Hong Konger.

Neither am I a Communist.

You can't kill me.

Actually this list

has been shared

in the military government before.

It's just that I didn't know

what's the background of this person.

Now there is a message from Shanghai.

This Professor Yu

is a democrat we have been following

for a long time.

So the mission to testify

Ye Chong's identity

will be handed to

Mr.Takagi alone?

Yes.

Officer.

This matter is better to be kept from

the General for the moment.

You're right.

I believe this step we take

must worth it.

I have to turn

Ye Chong's inside out this time.

A democrat?

Is he that important?

Very important.

He is a pro-Communist scholar.

Do you mean that

he has direct contact with Bern?

So far,

we don't know

what's between them.

But one thing can be sure.

This person

was once very active

when he was in Shanghai.

Then he got silent all of a sudden.

After being silent for a while,

he suddenly appears in Hong Kong.

We suspect him

joining the Communist Party in secret.

Are you saying that

you want me to kill him ?

No. No. No.

This person is very valuable.

According to the updates from Shanghai,

this person

may have the list of

names of crucial personnel

of underground CPCs in Shanghai

and some intelligence.

According to our source in Shanghai,

this person

acted very actively

in the universities in Shanghai.

They want us to find

him as soon as possible

And send him back to Shanghai

together with the list.

Since this person is a pro-Communist

and is active in Hong Kong,

he must come to here

with missions.

He must have contacted with

many underground members.

So he should be

a key to this mission.

Yeah.

We can achieve a bigger success through him

No. No. No.

We already have HK.

We don't need to bother too much.

Send him back to Shanghai.

But,

we catch this person

and send him back.

It costs too much.

Do you remember the HKU student

He Ying?

Since she has admitted that she is converted

Why don't we test her again

using Professor Yu?

Miyamoto.

One for great deeds don't trip over little trifles.

How could we let

a converted student affect our

judgment over our empire elites' decisions?

I don't want you to

keep meddling with the issues between

He Ying and Ye Chong anymore.

You have

more important things to do.

Understand?

Yes.

I will find him as soon as possible,

and respond to Shanghai.

However,

I've always believed in

balance.

For this,

Follow the common protocol with this matter.

Miyamoto.

Now we have

achieved great success.

We will soon

begin our future here in Hong Kong.

So tonight,

we should relax a little bit.

Yes.

I'll buy you drinks.

-Major. -Major.

Officer.

You've worked hard these days.

and haven't had a good rest.

No.

Being able to learn from you

is the luckiest thing ever.

The thing is...

Have your lunch first.

No.

I'd better report the situation to you.

Ye Chong is out of the hospital,

and is going to the dinner tonight.

But Mr. Takagi also asked to meet him tonight.

I don't whether he will go or not.

Yeah.

This will be a big show.

Before it ends,

it's definitely going to be wonderful.

Let's wait and see.

HK being arrested

catches Chi Cheng off guard.

He is surrounded by shadows which is getting

darker and darker.

And it makes him tired

to face the future which is getting heavier and heavier.

But he has to force himself

to think about the next step.

Beneath the calm sea,

waves are roaring.

The dinner

he has to go to later

forbodes disasters rather than blessings.

Even though all things are well prepared,

Chi Cheng still feels not enough,

and the preparation is too little.

Without HK,

he becomes

the only hope for rest of the people,

and the hope of the Party in Hong Kong.

Hope

cannot be destroyed.

Go to Xinghe Society.

Okay.

Perhaps because of the siege by the Japanese,

I feel time goes by

especially slowly lately.

How did Tang Feng respond to you?

Feng

is a real friend.

He said yes without even asking me the reason.

He said

as long as is to bother the Japanese,

he is up for it.

Master.

Will the people in Xinghe Society be enough?

Although it's mostly

Lan Bao's people making the transfer,

I'm thinking

if we need to notify

those from Dongjiang Column Division.

Feng is after all

head of Xinghe Society.

We'd better not contact Liu recently.

It's too dangerous.

Honestly speaking,

Jin Xiang and Feng

really helped a lot.

I understand.

Frankly speaking,

I feel bad

for treating her this way

But it's probably

the best choice for her.

Once you care it will be messy.

You can't see the game clearly as a player.

Under this circumstance,

any relationship

is not appropriate.

Wei, if tonight I...

You won't.

Don't say that.

Prison of Hong Kong Military Guards Corps

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Guard, guard.

What's the matter?

Pass my words.

I want to see Kurano Miyamoto.

Wait here.

Prepare to act.
