Autumn Cicada

Episode 23

If Mr.Chi wants to

keep away from the mess,

you'd better not

stay close to those in Kempeitai.

Can I take this as

a kind reminder?

Sure.

I accept it.

All right. I shall go if we are done.

By the way,

recently I often think of the song

we played together

when we first met,

Auld Lang Syne.

We will have chances to play again.

I'm looking forward to it.

Excuse me.

Yau Ma Tei Stone Bridge

A lonely fisherman afloat.

Is fishing snow in lonely boat.

Nice to meet you.

I am Fisherman.

How come you are Fisherman?

Freeze!

Freeze!

Freeze!

It's you.

Comrade Fisherman,

I am HK.

I joined the CPC in Guangzhou

when I was in high school.

Having returned to Xinghe Society,

I worked as a hibernator,

awaiting his instructions.

At first I was supposed to

be the new liaison for Cormorant.

Unfortunately, he was killed

before we met each other.

How did you find me?

Sun Yongxi is Cormorant,

the head of Northern HK branch.

You have him.

Yes.

He is safe with me now.

He knows what you are going to do.

You must stop.

Or else you are at risk.

It is too late.

I have began

and can't withdraw easily.

He left his identity information.

The Japanese would surely

figure out where he was

through those clues.

Hong Kong was locked down.

he couldn't run away.

So he 'woke' me up

using our common method.

Does your sister know about this?

No.

If your sister knows about our relationship,

she definitely needs a drink.

Brother-in-law,

I do consider Sis Xiang

is passionate towards her dreams,

and no less persistent than we are.

I can't successfully found HK

without her help.

Do you remember she once told you

that she found a CPC member?

Are you saying the night

when we were robbed?

No.

It's the first time.

I mean the second one,

when we found Sun Yongxi.

On the evening of the 29th?

Yes.

Did she tell you?

How did you find him?

Not easy.

At that time, we exchanged fire

with the Japanese.

I was injured.

But luckily we

managed to rescue our comrade.

Later on, from him.

I got clues of HK.

Did Jin Xiang know his identity?

No.

He denied it when

being asked by Sis Xiang.

I can tell that

he is rather cautious.

I followed him

for one whole day.

At last, I took the risk

by exchanging with him the code words

in Cormorant's telegram.

Or he wouldn't have admitted his a Communist.

He trusts nobody.

Is she still in Xinghe Society?

She is quite obedient.

She only obeys your words.

Brother-in-law,

your words are like

imperial decrees to her.

But

if we hide the truth

from Sis Xiang,

and she finds it out one day,

quick-tempered as she is,

then...

What about

we find a chance

to tell her?

Absolutely no.

Feng.

Without my permission,

you can't tell her

who we truly are.

I understand.

It's against the Party rules.

And I know what you are thinking about.

You know your sister better than me.

Hiding identity is easily done to other people.

For family,

it's difficult.

Brother-in-law,

since I am 'awoken' by HK.

I naturally becomes your subordinate.

You're supposed to take his place.

I'll help you get in touch with Mr. Sun.

This is the frequency rate of

the secret radio station HK used to contact the CPC.

He left a message for you.

Listen to the radio

at 12 am tomorrow.

You will get some information.

Apply the code book as

you referred to before.

Comrade HK

has sacrificed his life

to protect our comrades.

He also told me that

among the Japanese, there is a comrade.

CPC secretly

sent to Hong Kong

an Communist underground infiltrated in the Japanese.

HK predicted that

he is the comrade

that recently came from Shanghai

code-named Autumn Cicada.

The comrade killed in Shengji Tailor Shop

was another comrade of ours,

not the real Autumn Cicada.

HK knew that Autumn Cicada was alive

and he's also tried to

get in touch with us.

Wei,

if Autumn Cicada is still alive,

who do you think that is?

HK's death

is like an undercurrent

drowning Chi Cheng

in the sea of pain.

But now he can't

stop to grieve.

Next,

the situation

he and his comrades need to face

is still like

crawling in the darkness.

Haven't I told you that

report to me before you do anything.

What's the matter with you?

He has become worthless.

Miyamoto,

I know that during this period of time,

you have made a lot of effort

and encountered many obstacles.

Yet, being desperate and giving up

is none of your characteristics.

A dead and mute HK shouldn't be

your concern anymore.

I want you to

regain your strength.

Say what you want.

You can tell me anything.

Go ahead.

Major-General,

I merely want to make a conclusion

of the former operation.

In the previous roundup mission,

we often failed to get anything.

Those who know the plan

must be working

in our Kempeitai.

Yesterday, the criminal suddenly passed out.

The Military Guards Corps

escorting his wife and child

were ambushed in the meantime.

And those that knows their being

are only the few

in our Kempeitai.

There was even fewer knowing that

they were transferred from

Military Guards Dept. to Kempeitai.

Mr. General.

Don't you see the problem in it?

Sit.

Sit down first.

Who are you referring to?

There is mole in the Kempeitai.

Either Ye Chong or someone else.

Do you have a suspect?

No.

It must be among

the core members.

Or else,

our well-planned operation

shouldn't have failed again and again.

I agree with your deduction.

Now that,

there is traitor among us.

It's not you.

Not me.

What about you

help me find him out?

I am afraid of being unqualified for the job.

Don't say that.

Didn't you supect it in the first place?

Can I say who

I suspect the most?

Ye Chong. Am I right?

Yes.

When he was interrogating HK,

the monitor went broken.

That is to say,

without any supervision,

they talked for a long time.

On that evening,

HK was poisoned.

You have formed your idea.

Why not start to investigate?

Last time,

Meng Hao was assassinated.

And HK was poisoned this time.

Don't you want to

recapture your

long-gone skill?

I am sorry, Mr. General.

That's not what I want to hear.

This is the last chance for us.

We must seize it.

Haven't this code name

disappeared already?

I was thinking the same at first.

But this record of interrogation

was sent here this morning.

I interrogated Yu Zhongping in person.

This code name

is said by him.

I believe that Yu Zhongping

is not a Communist.

No, he isn't.

But he knows an old friend

of ours.

Santalum.

HK said

there is a comrade among the Japanese.

Comrade HK

haven't met him before for his security.

They've only contacted via phone once

and sent a message once.

So HK

was not sure about who he was.

Sending information.

Is he the only one?

I mean among the Japanese.

We have already

become like lonely and wandering souls.

As the only one

in a such dangerous place,

how can he do that?

So now

the priority is to find him.

Autumn Cicada is still alive?

Very likely.

When we have interrogated

everyone on Yu Zhongping's list,

chances are

we will get new clues.

Santalum and Sail

in shanghai contacted by

this code name were both dead.

Autumn Cicada was killed by Ye Chong as well.

Why is there another Autumn Cicada?

The existence of Autumn Cicada

depends on what we say.

However, no matter it's real or fake,

it can a leverage to threaten

our opponent.

Do you mean we can

use the connection between Autumn Cicada and him

to find out

the mole in our Kempeitai?

Isn't this

a smoke grenade to confuse them?

We have lost HK.

We can't let go Autumn Cicada again.

Wei, pull over.

According to Miyamoto's survey,

The so-called dead Autumn Cicada

is likely to be still alive.

I know that

it sounds impossible for you

because you killed him.

When I heard

this news,

I was astonished, too.

But the clues provided by Yu Zhongping

attested the existence of

Autumn Cicada

is real.

So now

Yu Zhongping is

important to us.

In the previous operations,

we always

made mistakes on security.

This time,

Ye Chong,

I want you to manage it.

What do you think?

No problem.

I will do my best

to assist Miyamoto.

Here's the plan for this mission.

Miyatomo is in charge of interrogation.

He is more experienced.

What you need to do is help him on the fringe.

What happened to HK,

I don't want to see it again.

Yes.

Ye Chong.

Wish it well.

Wish it well.

Ye Chong.

Mr. General

wants us to cooperate.

Chance are he thinks

we can complement each other.

You can always find

something hard for us to notice.

I hope that we won't have any

misunderstanding towards each other,

and accomplish the mission together.

Of course.

I take it as a chance

to learn from

you, Miyamoto.

So I can make progress.

Good.

Since it's the case,

why not go to the interrogation room

with me and see Yu Zhongping?

Aren't you curious why

the person you killed

turned alive

in his words?

Mr. General doesn't want me

to intervene in your work.

I guess you are fed up with

the moan of Chinese

in the interrogation room.

But we have nothing to do with it.

This is the inevitable part of our job.

You should get used to it.

I am a bit surprised at

your patient guidance.

Now that you insist,

I want to give it a shot.

Okay.

Let's go.

I love this sound so much.

Do you enjoy it?

Of course.

Interrogation is the artistry for conquerors.

There are high pressure on both parties.

It's a shared experience of trail between you and the enemy,

which is like another kind of war.

Similarly, winner lives and loser dies.

The information he gave

seemed worthy but actually

has little practical value.

Every time

he spoke it out

only when he was tortured.

Because he knows that

the information given away easily

is not trustworthy to me.

Yu Zhongping was caught.

Rescue him.

Who is it?

I remember

Mr. He mentioned him once before.

He is a patriotic scholar in Shanghai

and also a left-winger.

Do you think Yu Zhongping

is rather crafty?

Didn't he give the information about Santalum?

It's because I have a special trick.

This is the highly-skilled doctor in Hong Kong.

Wu Qifei,

His mysterious prescription

is my key to interrogation.

Wu Qifei doctor of Chinese medicine Hong Kong Healing Store

He has a magical prescription

to turn herbs into herbal medicine.

When the criminal takes it,

he will have a different feeling.

Professor Yu,

let's talk about Santalum.

Who is it?

I don't know him.

Have you forgotten the pain yesterday?

I say it again.

I am only a teacher.

I don't know who Santalum is.

Okay.

Dr. Wu.

Please begin.

Sure.

Here you are.

Drink it.

Sis Xiang.

Have a seat.

What a beautiful memory.

But we we can't go back again.

Sis Xiang.

Brother-in-law is...

Don't bother to comfort me.

I don't need it.

Because

I will trust him whatever happens.

Look at it.

At that time,

I went to Europe to see him.

He met me only once.

After that,

I wandered in Paris alone

and I met

a Gypsy diviner.

He told me that

you can sense

if someone loves you.

You surely will.

Chi Cheng has a feeling for me.

I know that.

No matter what decision he makes,

you will support him unconditionally.

Sis XIang.

It's nice of you.

There is no unconditional love In the world.

What exists is mutual cherish.

Let's begin

our talk with Santalum.

We...

together...

in Shanghai...

participated...

participated...

Anti-Japanese... Federation...

Have you met him?

Federation...

was dismissed two years ago...

Before...

it's dismissed...

Before that...

we...

met...

once...

How many people are there

in the federal?

There are...

many....

What about Autumn Cicada?

Do you know him?

Autumn Cicada...

I don't...

Major Miyamoto.

He can't take it more.

It's better to interrogate

after he recovers tomorrow.

Mr. Miyamoto.

It's such a good idea.

Ye Chong.

When I finish it,

help me with the analysis.

No problem.

Feng,

believe me.

You will meet someone

that truly loves you.

Sis Xiang.

We are similar.

I only love one person.

You are just stupid.

Never mind.

It's useless to say more about it.

It's not a kind a matter

that can be explained easily.

Tell me something about Chi Cheng.

How is he lately?

This is the latest confession.

Old as he as,

he is not likely to take more.

That's right.

Give him a break.

He is the important criminal

under our control.

He really does know Santalum.

Yes.

He admitted having met Santalum.

But every time when I ask for more,

he begins to equivocate.

The most valuable information is that

he gaveis a part from the

list of patriotic and left-wing

students in Hong Kong.

I'll start the deployment right away.

What did he say

about Autumn Cicada?

He fainted every time

I brought that up.

I will continue.

Seems that he's a pro.

Surely he is.

He knows well about

the process of our trial.

And he particularly likes

to play tricks with us.

You should hurry up.

Shanghai is awaiting.

For special people like him,

sometimes

you can apply some extreme means,

as long as he is alive.

Yes.

What about Ye Chong?

How is your plan

on finding out the mole?

Mr. General,

Don't worry.

He is taking part in the interrogation

as I planned.

Everything is going

on the right track

as I expect.

Good.

You can use your right

to the maximum.

I have told to the

Archive that

you can review

the documents

anytime you want

Yes.

Yu's whereabouts confirmed. Awaiting further instructions.

Cooperate and act with Fisherman.

Questions are still floating

in Chi Cheng's mind.

He can't think it through.

New task is assigned to him.

For a long time, only in the way

of being careful and cautious

can he maintain the order.

This time, Chi Cheng

needs to take some risk.

He made slow and little progress.

And he never

longs for a fellow

who can give him support.

Maybe his condolence for HK

makes the fragile part of him.

But it's true that

he is always fighting on his own.

He should be a businessman,

but also continuously mediate

with the enemies.

And he needs to fake his feelings

in front of Jin Xiang,

He is exhausted.

What's going on?

Major Miyamoto.

We can't go any further.

Why?

He has reached

his extreme limit.

If he can wake up,

it's merely out of his will.

He might die if we use any more torture.

What is that?

You're afraid of sleep-talking?

Human's body

is like a balloon.

You can't blow it up too much.

If you do so,

it will burst.

The best part of my description

is making people feel if they are dying

while keeping them alive.

No one can

endure this kind of pain.

However, it should be used

with restriction.

I can't give him more medicine now.

If I do so,

no one knows if he can survive.

Now I shall heal him first.

How long does it take?

At least a week.

A week?

Dr. Wu.

It's not like

what you said before.

Major Miyamoto.

I have seen cases like this.

Some can survive the first time.

Yet I have never seen anyone

can survive the second time.

You can be assured.

I will make him say.

I give you a second chance

and a week's time.

But

during the treatment,

you should watch 24 hours.

If anything happens,

you know the rules.

Yes.

Yes.

Brother-in-law.

Why do you need me so late at night?

Is it anything urgent?

Did HK give you

a coded telephone number

before he went away?

Yes.

Comrade HK told me that

it's our fellow.

His identity is verified.

We can believe him.

But he warned me again and again

that we should contact him

only by telephone

in order to protect

his safety.

I will give you the number

if you need it.

No need.

Every call I make

is under the risk

of being monitored.

To ensure safety,

you contact him.

Okay.

Let me know

when you want to

contact him.

Now.

Hello?

Major Miyamoto.

Give me the document

recording the people

who came with Mr. General

to Hong Kong from Shanghai.

I want all their files

from 1937 to1941

when they are in Shanghai.

Major Miyamoto,

what you need is confidential in the Military Government.

You don't have the right

to read them.

What?

Didn't you receive the order

from Mr. General?

Excuse me.

I haven't received such order.

You will.

Don't waste my time.

Go and look for them.

I can't do that. Major Miyamoto.

Major Miyamoto.

Director Kurihara.

Lan Nagasawa.

Didn't you attend

the meeting this morning?

Hurry up and look for

what Major wants.

I am sorry, Major Miyamoto.

Whose file do you want?

Please give me files

of the people on the list.

Ryuhei Nitta, Takeshi Ono

Mie Nagasawa, Ye Chong.

And Liu Chunming

and Tang Wenchang from No.76.

Major Miyamoto, are you

on any new mission?

Finding out the mole.

Director Kurihara,

do you have any idea

for me?

Major.

Thank you.

Major.

You can only

read them here.

They can't be taken away.

It's the same

even for General Sato.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Okay.

I understand.

What are you doing?

He Ying is such a bookworm.

She left me the mess after reading.

Tell you a good news.

Before you came,

the call appeared again.
