Autumn Cicada

Episode 43

The sound of firecrackers outside the bars

reminds Chi Cheng that

the Spring Festival has come.

As time files,

this battle

has lasted more than two years.

Things happened two years ago

feel like yesterday.

My name is Huang Zihua.

Code-named HK.

Hello, comrade Chi Cheng.

I joined the Party in

South China Branch of CPC Central Committee in 1937,

having joined for six years.

I'm the 'hibernator'

in Hong Kong being silent for the longest time.

My code name is Fisherman.

If not in jail,

Chi Cheng hasn't realized that

during this time,

he didn't have to be

so nervous for the first time.

Maybe the end of life

is waiting for him.

He isn't afraid of

sacrificing for faith.

And what Chi Cheng regrets about,

in addition to the failure,

may be Jin Xiang.

General,

I haven't introduce her to you.

This is He Ying,

who was a student of HKU.

She is the girl student fired at you

at the commemoration party?

Yes. That's her.

But now she...

How long has she

lived here?

I don't come here often,

Just occasionally.

You are a little bit nervous, miss.

Today is Spring Festival.

You should be more happier.

I am father of Ye Chong.

My name is Kiyoizumi.

Although this is the first time we meet,

I have heard about something

happened here.

So I want to suggest you that

if you want to camouflage.

You should always be prepared.

Yes, General,

I will teach her

well in the future.

He Ying,

go to have some rest.

I haven't met General for a long time.

We want to chat for a bit.

General, have some tee.

Is my arrival

particularly abrupt?

Yes,

I didn't expect that

you would come to me suddenly.

General, do you come to me

for the explosion?

I have stayed so long

in the headquarter building.

It's easily for me to get bored.

So I just go around

and breath some fresh air.

It happens to be Spring Festival.

I take the chance to come visit you.

In such a time,

such an occasion,

she meets the legendary Ueno Kiyoizumi.

He is so different from

what He Ying imagined.

He Ying regrets for

her mistake.

She also feels scared about

what will happen

on her next.

General, since you are here,

how about I invite Junko tomorrow

to have a dinner with you?

No need for that.

Actually, I have been here for a while.

I will see her

when I want to.

General,

do you have any plans?

I want to go around

and visit some people.

Ye Chong,

I want to ask you

if you get into any trouble

while working in Hong Kong.

You can tell me.

If you need

me help on something,

you can also tell me.

Now I am just dealing with

some trifles.

I won't bother General to help me.

Ok.

I believe

you are a smart kid.

You can deal with the difficulties by yourself.

Thanks for your compliment.

Sincerely, I feel very

guilty for you.

I shouldn't have dragged you in the war.

Even for me,

I shouldn't have involved in it.

General once said that

if the war starts,

we all have no choice.

Since we can't change this,

we should take it

as the best arrangement.

Ok.

I am very delighted

you can think it that way.

Ye Chong,

you have grown up.

Well,

I just pay a visit to you.

Enjoy your Spring Festival.

I have something elso

to handle.

There is someone outside waiting for me.

General, let me walk you out.

No. No. No.

Sit down.

We will meet again pretty soon.

In the evening of Spring Festival,

Ueno Kiyoizumi suddenly appears,

with his usual

look that seems to see through everything

and the familiar

fear and pressure that suffocate him.

Ye Chong is certain that

he wouldn't come here for no reason.

But he doesn't know

the real cause.

The only thing he's sure about

is that it won't be good.

What's going on?

Major Kiyoizumi.

Here is a telegram.

It is sent off from the military radio station of the Cabinet.

It's sent three times.

In the second time,

we tried to decipher it.

But when we use our

military codebook,

we failed to decipher it.

You failed?

Yes.

Does Military Base have any command?

Military Base asked us

to send this telegram

to the Naval Command.

Then do it as requested.

Yes.

Wait.

Make a copy for me.

Well...

Do it now.

Yes.

It's too late.

Go to sleep.

I've kept having nightmares.

His eyes are like black holes.

I think he knows everything.

He Ying, he has left.

Stop thinking about him.

No, I haven't seen him before.

I thought

he would be like Sato

and Miyamoto.

Even without saying a word,

he can make me feel like

he is watching me the whole time.

Ye Chong.

I'd better leave you.

If I keep staying here,

they will doubt you more.

I can see that,

you treat your adoptive father

different from other Japanese.

If I stay with you,

but can't help you,

then I'd better disappear.

Disappear?

Where are you going?

He Ying, listen to me.

I am here,

you don't need to be afraid.

You are not useless as you say.

You are really important to me.

How many people died?

Fifteen.

Prepare the room.

I'll interrogate Chi Cheng.

But you and Ye Chong

had made an agreement before General.

It's not the time yet.

You can't do anything to him.

Am I treating you too nicely?

Are you questioning me?

I'll Interrogate Chi Cheng!

Yes.

Manager Chi, Master Chi,

Mr. Chi.

So many titles.

You can't imagine that

you can end up in my hands.

Technically,

I am not ended up in your hands.

Because you don't have any evidence

to accuse me.

These days,

I live in there

comfortably.

Now there is a chaos outside.

It's hard for me to find a

quite place to enjoy.

I'll find the evidence sooner or latter.

I don't care about others.

But at least for me,

you are a Communist.

Major Miyamoto, you

gave me such a big charge.

Do you want to torture me?

The soldiers here are all nice to me.

And they also told me that

General Sato ordered that

nobody could torture me without his permission.

Master Chi,

maybe you don't know that.

No one can leave

my interrogation room

in one piece.

Besides,

please,

don't use General Sato

or goodwill ambassador

to threaten me.

It's useless.

If you want to torture me,

you can do it.

But I am telling you,

China belongs to

our Chinese.

No matter in the past, now or future,

it's all the same.

No matter what this country will become like,

we will try our best

to let her

become better.

As for the clowns like you

who come from a tiny land

and intend to show off,

we will

drive you off.

And, do you know

why you will start

this war?

Because you are timid,

you feel terrified.

Like today,

you come to me.

I guess some of your bullshit plans failed, right?

Ok,

brilliant!

I like your

arrogance.

But I wish

you won't beg me later.

Do you know why they call you a rabid dog?

It's ok, I can tell you.

Because the rabid dog

is always being

bullied by others.

Because the heart of a rabid dog

is full of fear.

Before this, maybe you could leave this room alive.

But at least for now,

I will return the disrespect you showed me

back to you.

I need to take this.

Major Ye,

General Sato orders you

to get to the Matsubara Hotel before dawn.

Ok, I will start off now.

Where are you going?

Sato orders us to

get to the Matsubara Hotel before dawn.

Something happened?

I don't know yet.

Take care of yourself.

Don't go outside.

Bye.

I don't know either.

Is there something urgent?

Miss Lan,

Colonel Sayama, you are here too?

Yes, our submarine squadron

has received

the notice from General Sato.

What kind of emergency

is this?

We don't know, either.

Why not take a rest

for Spring Festival?

Anti-Japanese don't enjoy the festival,

and we don't celebrate

the Chinese new year.

These days,

Military Base sent a lot of urgent telegrams

regarding the war situation net year.

You even didn't even come to help me.

After I finish these things,

I will help you.

Oh, General has come to Hong Kong.

Do you know that?

Father has come to Hong Kong?

When was that?

I don't know that.

I thought you knew.

General came to me and had a chat with me.

I don't know what he meant.

He came to see you first

but not me.

What does he mean?

General Sato has arrived.

Everyone,

today is the first day of the New Year.

Happy New Year!

Today there is a

an important person

here in Hong Kong.

I invite everyone to

hold a simple welcome ceremony

for him.

What is Sato doing?

General Sato

has called all the officers of

from Military Base and

Naval Command

to hold a welcome ceremony for you.

Ok.

And the person,

please wait for a minute.

Here he comes.

Mr. Kiyoizumi.

I know you don't like extravagance.

But a necessary ceremony

can't be omited.

Thank you.

Please.

Everyone,

Senior Military Adviser of Army Headquarters

Mr. Ueno Kiyoizumi

traveled a long way from Tokyo

to instruct our work.

Let's express our

warm welcome.

Everyone,

thanks very much for the

welcome celemony by General Sato.

General Sato has just said that

I came here to instruct work.

But I don't think I am here 'to instruct'.

Yes.

I am here to work,

to work with you

in Hong Kong.

Maybe you have seen

many senior officers

from the Cabinet or from Military Base come here

to convery some

optional commands,

and listen to some

untrustworthy reports.

In the end,

after they have eaten

a lot of Chinese food

and taken away a lot of

rare and precious

Chinese artworks,

they never came back.

Do you think

I am the person like those?

Using this chance,

I can tell you,

I am here with a mission,

I am here to revitalize Hong Kong.

Folks,

I can tell you

how to revitalize.

Then,

it all depends on me, General Sato

and everyone in Ministry of Military Affairs,

work delightedly and harmoniously.

Thank you.

Folks,

on the first day of New Year,

Mr. Kiyoizumi

can spend time with us.

This a very good beginning.

We will give our full support to Mr. Kiyoizumi

for Hong Kong, for the sacred war of

our Imperial Japanese.

And finish the mission

given to us by the Cabinet.

Yes.

General Sato

speaks very well.

Yes,

Hong Kong is related with our war,

but not with military affairs.

So everyone don't need to be nervous.

Throughout the history of Hong Kong,

it has never been a battlefield,

but a paradise.

Since Hong Kong

now is controlled by us.

You and me,

we have duty to

restore it as a paradise,

to make it an example of

Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

I beileve,

we won't fail the expectation

given by our Great Empire.

- Look!
- Father,

you've been here for so long,

without telling me.

How can you do that?

How can a father

report to his daughter about everything?

By the way,

these months, you stayed in Hong Kong,

but never called us,

right?

You know,

I am very busy in work abroad.

I don't have time.

I have heard about that

you worked in telecom department.

Yes.

Work day and night,

very hard.

Yes, Yes.

She and Ye Chong

are the elites of our telecom department.

They do the work very well.

Father, I am not done yet.

You came to see brother Chong first, but not me.

You must treat me delicious food.

Okay.

Junko,

I have some business to deal with tonight.

I've booked

Champs Elysees for you.

You can go there first.

Can you just put them off to tomorrow?

If he has work to do,

we should't waste his time.

Go then.

Thank you, General.

Another day,

I will treat you a

decent dinner.

Ok. Then I'll leave first.

Ye Chong,

when you finish your work,

if you have something to report,

you can come to my room.

Well,

the archive of Chi Cheng,

please sort it out for me.

I want to have a look.

Yes.

Off you go then.

Chong...

Mr. Kiyoizumi.

About the archive of Chi Cheng...

Dad, I am so hungry,

please stop working.

Let's go to dinner.

Excuse me,

sorry.

It's ok, please.

Say it,

how will you compensate me?

Stop investigating Chi Cheng.

Kiyoizumi may act next.

Chi Cheng's secrets are almost clear.

To arrest Tang Feng,

a dozen more soldiers have died.

And Jin Xiang.

Didn't you hear me?

Stop!

I can't understand.

They are from Xinghe society.

This only proves that

they have an Anti-Japanese tendency.

Since Kiyoizumi decides to investigate,

we should stay away.

If we can't

replace these father and son.

Then there won't be

our names in

the Empire Honor Book.

Do as I said.

Mr. Kiyoizumi is so generous.

He brought us

so many good stuff.

You don't know that.

It's too little.

He brought us a whole ship of

production materials

to revitalize Hong Kong.

It's seems that the HQ still remembers us.

It's said that

there are Yokan and

Canned Beef.

Yong Shu,

how long haven't

we had these food?

Don't you feel that

the stuff on these two sides are not equal?

Why does your Action Squad

get stuff different from ours?

Always like this.

If you have any question,

go to find General Sato

and Major Miyamoto.

These supplies

are brought by Mr. Kiyoizumi.

You can't take more. Go away.

It's not fair.

Stop!

Major Ye.

What's going on?

Major Ye,

this batch of goods is brought

by Mr. Kiyoizumi.

It should be distributed equally.

But Action Squad intends to take more.

Exactly.

Each time we distribute supplies,

Action Squad always takes more.

It's not fair.

Why don't you

say it before?

What are you doing now?

Major Miyamoto is here,

do you dare do that?

The intention of Mr. General is to

let us enjoy our

New Year abroad

with much fun.

Don't be annoyed for

such a trivial matter.

Let's distribute it equally.

Then everyone can get

his own bit.

Yes.

Are these brought by

the navy ship

following Mr. Kiyoizumi?

Yes. Yes.

Who is in charge of unloading at the dock?

Major Ye, it's me.

You are awake.

How are you? Don't move.

What are you doing? Stay there.

I am ok, sister.

I am going to make a call.

Now?

Who are you calling?

Lie down.

I can't explain too much to you, sister.

I can just tell you that

this call may save my brother-in-law.

These are

the intelligence Tao Zongbo took from me

before and after the missions of

your Military Government failed.

To whom?

To all radio stations

that he can steal information from.

When?

From now,

send it every two hours.

I need you promise me

that he can get

this precious information.

I can do it.

Okay.

I know that

one Japanese called

Ueno Kiyoizumi

has come to Hong Kong.

If this time I can't leave,

I'm afraid that I will never

have a chance to leave Hong Kong.

Does Kiyoizumi go to you?

No.

But that phone

rings again.

What did he say?

He said that Chi Cheng is under arrest.

He needs rescure.

What should we do?

Rescure him now!

We can't wait anymore.

How?

Kiyoizumi suddenly comes here.

Is that related to this thing?

He said that

he comes to revitalize the economy here.

Do you believe that?

At least, apparently, it seems true.

And there is a whole ship of

production supplies coming with him.

It looks like

he intends

to stay in Hong Kong for a long time.

What does he want to do?

Today, at the welcoming wine party at Matsubara Hotel,

he asked me the information of Chi Cheng.

He said he wanted to have a look.

I agreed with him.

But I haven't given him.

This can't be delayed.

He will suspect you.

I know.

I just want to buy more time.

What time?

Do you figure out a way to rescue Chi Cheng?

The rescue mission has already begun.

If everything can go

according to my plan,

Tao Zongbo should have

received the fake news

that I let Bern to send to the station.

Tomorrow morning,

Tao Zongbo should go to Miyamoto

to tell him that underground Communists

will escort HK Ninth Branch to withdraw.

HK Ninth Branch will withdraw?

What are you talking about?

How is that related to rescuing Chi Cheng?

Last night,

Miyamoto ambushed Tang Feng.

The female agent

called Xue Ping

detonated the grenade

to protect Tang Feng,

which stopped Miyamoto's attack.

Her death gives me some ideas.

We can use the fact that Tao Zongbo

instigated Xue Ping to go into

Xinghe Society,

and put the charges for Chi Cheng on to BIS.

And this white phosphorus incident

will become a devastating action

that BIS did

to the Japanese.

To get away from it,

Tao Zongbo used Xue Ping

to make Chi Cheng take all the blames.

Wait.

Xue Ping is already dead.

There's no proof.

It's okay.

But Tao Zongbo,

how can he cooperate with us?

Kiyoizumi and Sato

can't believe our explanations easily.

So we need the cooperation of another person.

He's not a Chinese,

nor will he betray them.

I thought it over and over,

Miyamoto is the best choice.

You want to use HK Ninth Branch's counterattack

to make Tao Zongbo and Miyamoto fall out?

As far as I know Miyamoto,

he won't let Tao Zongbo go easily.

No.

As far as I understand him,

he will kill Tao Zongbo.

Only if Miyamoto does this,

it can be proved that

Tao Zongbo is an Anti-Japanese.

No matter BIS or the Communist Party,

he can't argue because of

the failure of Miyamoto.

Only in this way,

can we let this fake news by us

become true,

and let Chi Cheng

come clean out of

this incident.

Ok.

I am going to tell

the comrade on that side of the phone,

and tell them to call Lu Tie.

In this plan,

the most difficult thing is time.

I need you to go to Lantau Island

to cooperate with me.

Ok.

Officer,

here's all the information we gathered about Ye Chong.

Since Mr Kiyoizumi has come here,

why don't we give

these files

to him?

Now Ye Chong is trying to save Chi Cheng.

I believe that Mr. Kiyoizumi

will deal with this fairly.

Kiyoizumi is Ye Chong's adoptive father.

If he can't place righteousness above family relationship,

maybe it won't be Ye Chong that will die,

but me.

What about General Sato?

He is on our side.

He should help us.

He?

He just gave me word.

If he wants me to test

the bottom line of Kiyoizumi,

I will become a pawn of him,

and die in vein.

I won't be so foolish.

I won't do anything,

let alone dealing with Ye Chong.

So do we just

let Ye Chong go?

Well,

destroy all these files

about Ye Chong.

And don't tell anyone

that I'm investigating him.

Do it now!

I see.

Do you know

that your student

almost blow my eyes up?

How dare you

make a call to my office?

I am so sorry about this.

But it's very urgent,

I have to find a way to contact you.

Do you know

that Hong Kong has changed a lot.

Does your information still valuable?

How far can our promise go?

All these need reconsideration.

Mr. Miyamoto,

no matter how it changes,

but I believe,

if you can act like always,

and do your hard work,

Mr. Kiyoizumi will

find out your unique feature

in the near future.

I think he will be a source of push

between our cooperation,

not the one that hinders us.

Do you know

who are you referring to?

Forgive me if

I sound a bit rude.

To be honest,

I don't know much about

this Senior Military Adviser

who just arrived in Hong Kong.

But,

I know your system.

Only the successor

can be chosen.

Mr. Miyamoto,

I think this time is

the chance that god gives you

is wonderful.

But,

you only have one day to prepare.

But I believe Mr. Miyamoto

don't need

that long to prepare.

Okay.

Mr. Miyamoto,

best wishes for your success.

Wait a minute.

Thank you.

Why do you say that?

I appreciate Chinese like you.

Our battle

can last to now.

Bye.

What are you saying?

Who is helping comrades of HK Ninth Branch to leave?

No one.

The fact is that,

this is a trap

our comrades

set for the Japanese.

Now Miyamoto

has bitten the bait.

The only thing I'm certain is that

tomorrow night, Miyammoto will

take his soldiers

to the river bank of Lantau Island on time.

He is going to wait for a chance to catch him.

Don't you understand? Uncle Wei?

This our chance to attack them.

No.

Master is not there.

We can't do this.

This is our only chance.

Only when we win Miyamoto,

can we have a chance to rescue brother-in-law.

I think we should

take this risk.

Uncle Wei, think about it.

We are familiar with the geography.

And the guns and ammunition we bought

have been transported there.

If we prepare it well,

we will win.
