[The Justice]

[Episode 28]

[Lingling Tailoring]

Bell, thank you.

I like this suit.

Only you

can make

a suit that fits me so well.

Shimazaki,

you are a coward.

What are you afraid of?

Tell me what you are afraid of.

You must be brave.

Can I?

Of course, you can.

Come on.

Thank you for your advice.

I will make it.

Bell,

are you going to fire us?

Bell,

you can cut down our wages,

but we really can't find other jobs now.

Yes.

Well,

stop crying.

I don't want to fire you either.

I also want this shop to be big and successful.

But I really

can't keep this shop running.

We've been losing customers

every day.

And our profit

has been decreasing every day.

There's nothing I can do.

I have to fire you.

Well, don't cry.

I'll give you

salary for one extra month, take it.

Come on,

stop crying.

When I got the money and power,

I will hire you back.

Do remember

to help me then.

Come on.

You've been busy with work these days.

Go home and spend more time with your parents.

Cheer up, goodbye.

Bell, take care.

Bell, take care.

You too, now go.

[Clothing Design]

Bell.

What... Where are all the apprentices?

All gone.

Bell, I understand.

You must be so sad

about firing all those apprentices.

You've been teaching them

carefully.

They are like sisters to you.

It's natural that you feel sad.

But think of it,

you treated them so well.

You taught them about tailoring.

When you get through the tough time,

and have some money,

you can hire them back,

right?

He won't be back.

What?

He won't be back.

What's going on?

It's alright.

He will never be back.

[Spinning Workshop]

Director Zhao, Mr. Cheng.

I've talked

to Chief Matsumoto

of Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

They agreed to

purchase all the machines

of Shenqin No. 4 Cotton Mill

at a 50% discount,

and give Shenqin the right

to buy back the machines

at the same price within 16 months.

Mr. Shimazaki,

thank you so much for this.

If it weren't for the recycling money

you got for us,

the firing would be

such a huge disaster.

But now at least,

they can get salary

for two more months

and they won't be short of food.

Mr. Shimazaki,

you did us a great favor again.

It's nothing.

The dumping of Japanese Cotton

leaves Chinese cotton mills

totally unprepared.

Yet nothing I can do about this.

And nothing I can change.

Mr. Cheng.

Chief Wu.

Do you know

about the relationship

between Bell and Mr. Shimazaki?

What?

Bell told me

that Mr. Shimazaki

has been keeping the fact

that he is Japanese from her.

It was not until the incident of January happened,

did Mr. Shimazaki tell her the truth.

So Bell can't forgive Mr. Shimazaki.

How about now?

How are they now?

When the battle of Shanghai was on a break,

Bell and Mr. Shimazaki

broke up.

But I can feel

that Bell

still has feelings for Mr. Shimazaki.

I know Mr. Shimazaki.

He is a frank and forthright man.

The fact that he held his identity from Bell

shows that he really cares about her.

I believe he still has feelings

for Bell too.

So,

should we...?

However...

What?

However, Bell is Chinese,

and Mr. Shimazaki is Japanese.

Let alone the incident of Dongbei,

the incident of January has just ended.

If, in the future,

there are bigger wars

between China and Japan,

will they be happy together?

But, if they

love each other

yet can't stay together,

does this make them happy?

Love is pure.

It shouldn't be mixed with other things.

But other things

would affect love.

Are you

talking about us?

Anyway,

about Bell and Shimazaki...

I don't think we should fix them up.

Things like that

need to be considered

carefully.

You can think about it as you want.

I've already made up my mind.

Welcome.

It’s been a while.

How are you?

Fine.

How about you?

Not very good.

Miss,

you have a call from a Ms. Wu.

She said there's an emergency.

She can't come to meet you.

Got it, thank you.

Can I sit here?

OK.

The Banking Association is right next door.

When I have meetings in the afternoon,

I would have lunch here.

The sandwich there is very delicious.

Just now,

you said you are not very good.

Are you having a bad time?

Yes, I'm always having a bad time.

The Japanese Army invaded China.

The Japanese enterprises

dumped on China.

They all make me feel bad.

I even thought that

if only

I am not a Japanese.

So you won't turn me away

and break up with me.

Actually, after we parted last time,

I tried to think about

what I would say to you

if we meet again.

I might say,

please give me another chance,

don't treat me like Japanese,

my mother is Chinese,

I hate the invasion of Japan,

and the war as much as you do.

Bell,

I still want you.

[Lingling Tailoring]

Bell.

Yizhi.

Please come inside.

[Lingling Tailoring]

The apprentices are gone.

Can you manage it alone?

The business is poor lately,

and we don't get many orders

or customers.

As long as I still have this store,

I can save the energy

for the future.

What a fluent talker.

This is not from me.

It's my sister-in-law...

It's Lizi who told me that.

[Lingling Tailoring]

Actually, I'm here today

for Mr. Shimazaki.

I've heard about your relationship.

Things like this,

I have to think about it

in your shoes.

You look so serious.

Of course,

it matters your whole life.

You broke up

because of the invasion of Japan.

But you still have feelings

for each other.

Whether you should be together,

I can't decide that for you.

I just want to

express my opinions

about this

in Shimazaki's shoes.

Bell,

you know I've known Mr. Shimazaki

for so many years, right?

As to the moral quality,

Shimazaki is perfect.

But his nationality

is indeed troublesome.

However, love

is nothing pure.

So you need to think about this.

Would your love

be affected

by other factors?

Would it withstand

the blow from other things?

All these things

are what you need to think about and balance.

I can't balance all these things.

That's why I can't decide.

What if you were me,

what would you do?

Would you choose

to stay with your love,

or to stay away from trouble?

I can't answer that.

These things

need to be decided by yourself.

Just tell me,

for my reference.

Fine,

I'll tell you.

If I were you,

I would choose to stay with my love.

I knew it.

I knew you would choose love.

So,

when you decided to marry my sister-in-law,

did you made the same decision?

[Lingling Tailoring]

You left everything behind

and didn't care about any trouble you might meet,

right?

Come on, don't jinx it.

You know what happened to us.

We got divorced.

Maybe you can get back together.

Mr. Shimazaki is here.

Bell,

the cloth,

I'll come get it a few days later.

I'll leave you alone.

You said you were just fine,

but so many tailor shops

closed these days,

so I want to check on you.

Actually,

the business is

quite poor.

I've fired all the apprentices,

the fabric price kept increasing,

and the orders kept decreasing.

Some old customers

lost their jobs,

so they don't need suits anymore.

If you need,

I can introduce

some new customers.

Rest assured,

they are not Japanese.

Ki, I...

Don't say anything.

Come with me.

[Nanguo Restaurant]

When you gave me the suit that day,

I had something for you too.

What is it?

It's right here.

The ring I wanted to give you,

is right here in the river.

I was going to propose.

I wanted to marry you,

and I still do.

I want to marry you.

Will you marry me?

[Nanguo Restaurant]

It's been so long since we had a proper chat.

Finally got the time today.

You've been so busy

with all those affairs.

Indeed I am busy.

The Americans proposed

the Silver Purchase Act.

They want to promote the economy.

Well, look at us.

The market is going through such a hard time.

You can leave the problem

to the Ministry of Finance.

Mr. Huang,

how can I do that?

The member of the central executive committee

is going to be changed.

Just days ago,

General Secretary Han of the Central Political Conference

just urged me

to come up with a solution

to address the economic crisis.

You worked so hard for our country.

I didn't even

think of this.

Mr. Huang, are you

holding a grudge against me

because you failed to be the new president

of the New Chamber of Commerce?

Of course not.

I'm not competent to be the president.

You told me so many times

to unite the monetary industry

and make Ministry of Finance's plan of

abolishing silver currency

and unifying silver dollars fail.

But in the end,

I didn't do you any favor.

Therefore,

I am not qualified

to be the president of the New Chamber of Commerce.

Well, Huang.

Let's be frank with each other

so we won't hold grudges.

I didn't do my best to make you the president,

I feel sorry for that.

But the political career is

hard and dangerous.

So sometimes,

I have no choice.

You forgot again,

I once said

that I am as you are.

General Secretary Han trusted you

with an important job.

So now I'm thinking about

how to

share the responsibility for you.

Great.

It was always you

coming here to meet me.

Why come here alone today?

I seem to understand

why exactly

you like here so much.

Why?

Because when you are playing squash,

you don't need to think of anything.

On the contrary,

when I was playing squash I kept thinking.

So what are you going to think today?

Lizi?

She will never...

She will never trust me.

You are wrong.

She always trusts you.

That's not true.

She always keeps her distance from me.

All the time.

Now, even I just want to be her friend,

she won't let me.

It's because I, the manager,

gave her too much work.

Chief Wu is a

female with strong ambition.

Whatever job you give her,

she will make it perfect.

Has she told you

that she's busy?

She did say that.

You think of nothing else

during designing, did you?

Yes.

Yeah.

So, see?

It's not your problem.

Really?

Of course.

You were just careless.

[Happiness]

There is no need to worry.

Well, just go.

Come on. They are waiting.

Lizi.

Come on. Let's go.

But, I'm still a little bit afraid.

[Happiness]

I was afraid too before getting married.

But after I got dressed,

wore makeup,

and saw Yizhi,

I didn't feel worried.

You won't be afraid a while later.

Really?

Sure.

Mr. Cheng.

Did you feel nervous when you got married?

You'd better say

it's expecting.

Are you OK?

There is the bride.

Let's start.

Chu Shimazaki.

Will you

have Tao Xiaoling

as your lawful wedded wife?

Yes.

Tao Xiaoling...

I'm not just willing to...

♫ As sentimental as a young man ♫

Bell.

♫ Walking in the prosperous world ♫

You hate Japanese very much,

but you accepted me.

♫ Time never changes his appearance ♫

You accept that I'm a Japanese.

For me,

♫ As clear and dancing as a stream ♫

you even accepted

such a cheerless wedding.

♫ Wandering in eternal variabilities ♫

I know you dare not to tell others.

You just told your sister.

♫ In front of diamond ♫

♫ Everyone will have ripples in mind ♫

You did all these for me.

From now on,

♫ In a despondent mood as vintage wine ♫

you may be misunderstood and

♫ The moment is dancing in eternality ♫

even hated by your compatriots.

♫ The place where the dream begins is shining ♫

It's all because of me.

Actually, I shouldn't marry you.

But I'm a selfish man.

♫ You can escape from the moonlight ♫

I want to marry you.

♫ But you can't from the starlight ♫

Ki.

♫ Hope you can be brave in the wind and the waves ♫

In fact, I’m afraid.

Lizi just told me

♫ Be glorious as flame ♫

she was afraid too at first.

But when she saw Yizhi,

♫ Imagine on stumbling ♫

she wasn’t afraid anymore.

♫ In front of love ♫

Me too.

♫ Everyone gets heart skipping a beat ♫

Once I see you,

I don’t fear anything now.

♫ It can withstand the time ♫

♫ And the difficulties ♫

Tao Xiaoling,

will you marry Chu Shimazaki?

♫ Share the dazing time ♫

♫ With your beloved ♫

Yes.

I, Cheng Yizhi, am here

[Rebang Bank]

♫ With your beloved ♫

Chief Wu.

I'm sorry.

I’ve opened it secretly.

I took a look stealthily

because I’m really very curious about it.

Excuse me, I have to leave now.

Yizhi, I…

I…

I haven't finished yet.

Compared with

Bell and Shimazaki,

I’m actually a coward.

I…

I always want to say it,

but I dare not to admit that…

Lizi.

I used to hurt you.

It’s me who hurt you.

During the current days,

I’ve always been thinking of

the days when we were together.

There were a lot of

bad memories.

There were conflicts.

There were lies.

Anyway, we can’t just ignore

the happy memories

between us.

Lizi.

These things in the box…

All these things

can prove it.

Lizi, I hope you can stop

being sentimental about the past history.

If you think

I'm waiting for you to apologize,

you are wrong.

I…

I don't think of it anymore.

And

now we are working together.

I feel pleased about it.

Yes.

It's... It's because

we are working together happily.

I don't wanna lose you anymore.

I don't want to escape anymore.

Yizhi, can...

Can you

give me another chance?

How about Xu Shu?

That's not love.

But you made him feel it is love.

You just let him wait for you to accept him.

Who is he in your eyes?

I know I may hurt him.

I've refused him tactfully.

I never let him feel

I will accept him.

Because

the one I love is you.

What did you say?

You heard me.

Can't you give me

another chance?

You've always been like this.

Others are the poor ones at last.

It seems you don't do anything wrong.

It's like it's Xu Shu's one-sided wish.

When will you understand

that everyone has a heart,

like you.

It's not

all up to you.

You can't

make unlimited demands.

Your experience

is enough to make me

understand your past.

But it is not enough to make me

accept your love.

Since

everyone has a heart,

why can't my love be accepted?

[Rebang Bank]

Mr. Cheng.

Sorry, I'm late.

Let's go as soon as possible,

It's been late.

We don't need to go now.

I just called my sister and told her

you have to work overtime

and you can't go.

I'm really very sorry.

Please stop saying that.

My sister kept asking you

to go for the feast of my family.

It's her who put you in trouble.

It's fine now.

We don't need to pretend then.

Mr. Cheng.

What's wrong with you?

Is there anything wrong?

Nothing.

You must be lying.

We finally can exchange silver

for foreign currency from today on.

The market is recovering.

The economy will recover.

I'm happy about that.

Mr. Cheng.

I'm better at lying than you.

Just tell me.

My two old friends

finally got married after suffering a lot.

I'm touched.

Mr. Cheng, let's not waste the time.

How about taking a walk together

in the moonlight?

Mr. Cheng,

I didn't find before today

you are tenderhearted instead of

having your mind stuffed with work.

Mr. Cheng.

May I ask you a question?

What's it?

Why did you divorce

Chief Wu?

Does it have anything to do

with your applying for the doctor's degree?

We are friends, right?

It's OK

for caring about friend, right?

Her

understandings about love

are totally different from mine.

By the way,

how is your study going?

Don't worry.

The professors are queuing up to

have me be their student.

Happy to hear that.

Chief Wu.

Come in please.

Chief Wu.

You asked me to pay attention to

the checks

of No. 4768 to No. 4774.

There are new exchanging records.

Still in Guangzhou?

Not Guangzhou. In Shanghai.

Check No. 4774

[Check Cashing Record of Rebang Bank Zheng Shanfeng]

was exchanged

in Rebang Bank Gaosita Rd. Branch.

The date is four days ago.

OK. You may leave now.

OK.

Shen.

Chief Wu.

Please help me find out

all demimondes

within two kilometres

of Gaosita Rd. Branch.

Including procuresses, waiters, treasurers,

maids and showgirls.

Figure out everything.

Yes.

[Rebang Bank]

Chief Wu.

What's the matter?

Why didn't you say it on the telephone?

I want to go to the theatre.

Get me two hatchet men.

Reliable, with tight lips.

Uh... How tight?

Even you can't ask

what they will do.

OK. I understand.

[Linglan Brothel]

See you, Mr. Zheng.

Come tomorrow.

[Blessing]

Chief Wu. Since you are here,

why don't you come in?

[Blessing]

What will you do?

I'm going to see you

at Rebang Bank.

But you come here on your own.

It's destiny that ties us together.

Why do you want to go to Rebang?

For my little brother, Mr. Cheng,

of course.

He gave you 10,000.

Isn't it enough for you to go whoring?

You are from Linglan Brothel?

You like going whoring so much.

It's not that difficult to get you.

Chief Wu. You came here

especially

for giving me money?

He would give you money, but I won't.

So you know my ability, right?

I just think

the check doesn't belong to you.

Seems you don't know too much.

Even Cheng Yizhi calls me brother

with respect.

You'd better shut up tamely.

I agree.

Since

we've finished our talk,

I'm leaving then.

Let go of me.

You are so beautiful.

How can I just let you go?

If Cheng Yizhi knows this,

he won't spare you.

Master.

The situation is absolutely the same

as what you estimated.

Ministry of Finance

has begun to reorganize the government debt.

They said it's a trade-in.

But the fact is repudiation of debt.

They are trying to delay the repayment.

The originally debt value

has fallen to less than 30%.

The term of repayment

has been delayed for 12 years.

The longest term is 24 years.

The reorganizing plan

will be officially released tomorrow morning.

You can be happy for that.

But this is also the time

we should take actions.

Master, will you please express it?

The banks in Shanghai

make money by government debt dealing.

The reorganizing

will surely make many banks close down.

Got it.

I will give help

to all banks

useful for us.

Oh my god!

You are finally awake.

Wait.

Sit down. Don't move.

Wu Lizi.

Do I owe you anything?

Hatchet men. Tight lips.

I knew there must be something wrong.

If I didn't pay more attention this time,

you know

what will happen.

Where is he?

Who?

Zheng.

I don't know.

Did you kill him?

Have you ever seen me

do that kind of killing things?

He is sent under guard to Nanyang.

Who are the guards?

The hatchet men. Tight lips.

If we don't

send him away,

I'm afraid Cheng Yizhi will get involved.

Watch your mouth.

You can't tell anyone else about it.

Fine.

Anyway, I have to say,

Cheng Yizhi is really

poor.

By the way,

how about your love?

Did you speak it out?

Please bring me back.

Let's go.

Don't do that again.

[People's Victory Bonds in Kind]

[Shanghai Bank Association]

I can understand your feelings.

I have the same feelings

as you.

About the reorganizing plan,

General Managers of Bank of China,

and Bank of Communications,

and me, from Shanghai Bank,

[Shanghai Bank Association]

we've communicated repeatedly

with related departments at Ministry of Finance.

The nation suffered from silver turmoil

and has just recovered

from the economic crisis.

[Shanghai Bank Association]

It needs monetary reform at home

and externally, it has to handle

the financial stress of America and Europe.

We have to reorganize the government debt.

[Shanghai Bank Association]
