The Justice

Episode 32

Mr. Cheng.

Your father said

you haven't been to school for the past few months

and have been staying in your room.

He was afraid that I would go out to play Five-card Stud

and cause Rebang Bank trouble again.

Your father is underestimating you.

You don't play cards at all.

I've seen a lot of gamblers.

No matter how decent

they dress,

they all have lust in their eyes.

You are just the opposite.

Your father's remarriage

is your greatest anger.

Right?

Yes! So what?

If you hadn't introduced

that Liao

to my father,

our family would have been reunited long ago.

You don't want our family to be happy

and have my dad work for you

and earn money for you.

Do you really think so?

Do you really think

Rebang Bank would do

such a thing?

I read Shen Bao.

I'm not surprised at all.

You could do something like that.

They've been talking

for a long time.

No. I...I have to go check it out.

You stop right there.

You'll only add to the trouble

if you go over there now.

Sit down.

Do you think your dad

worked hard

just for Rebang Bank?

Yes. That's what I think.

Xiaocong,

you are insulting your father

by saying that.

You…

Your father made a fortune

with tung oil, fell on hard times,

and then rose again.

Do you know

that Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory

is the biggest romance in his heart?

At that time,

you were standing there,

when you were a child,

looking at me with eager eyes.

That's why I was willing

to take the risk

to invest in your father.

Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory

At that time, I was new to the Private Bank.

Assistant Manager Cheng.

Your father was being framed.

Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory only oweed 11,000 tael.

Your father and I

almost fell victim

- to the false accounts of the Private Bank. - How could it be 21,000 tael?

Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory can't close down.

My wife ran away with someone,

and my son needs money for school.

I was hoping that the tung tree would grow

so that I could extract tung oil.

I thought everything would be fine

when the tung oil was extracted.

Now we have made

such good oil,

but the factory is closing down.

Director Gao.

You brought this

on yourself.

Factory bankruptcy

is inevitable.

Xiaocong!

Mr. Cheng.

Please save us!

Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory Chen Chen Tung Oil Limited Company

However,

your father's enthusiasm

touched me.

I couldn't bear to see him being framed,

so I worked with him side by side

to overcome the difficulties.

At that time, I actually did not know

whether I could save the tung oil factory,

but your father and I

both tried our best.

Start Stop

And then

your father proved himself

and produced good oil.

Director Gao!

We did it!

We did it! We did it!

Seeing your father's joy

after his success,

I felt for the first time

the significance of helping others

to achieve their ambitions.

This is the same strength

that has sustained Rebang Bank until today.

Thank you, Uncle Cheng.

You played a gambler

with a huge gambling debt.

You're pushing

Rebang Bank into the abyss,

but you're also driving your father

to the brink.

Ms. Liao told me

that if Rebang Bank went bankrupt,

your father

would die for it.

Is that what you want?

Xiaocong.

If you really think

that your father

is for the sake of Rebang Bank,

if you really think

that in your father's heart,

Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory

is more important

than you,

then you are wrong.

Your father is an indomitable

and upright man.

For you,

he could sacrifice Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory.

For you,

he could kneel before me twice.

Do you know

what kind of feeling that must be?

It's never too late to mend.

I hope that the dignity

your father sacrificed for you

will become your motivation

to repay him twice as much.

Do you remember what I said to you

when you were a child?

Study hard,

and when you graduate,

go back to the factory and help him.

I don't want to work in Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory

or in tung oil business.

I want to work in Rebang Bank.

Mr. Cheng.

Director Gao.

Xiaocong told me

that he would like to work as an intern

at Rebang Bank from next week.

I agreed.

Do you agree?

I…

Tomb of Cheng Wanju

Sir, it's done.

Mother,

if you forgive me,

let me have peace in my dreams.

Tomb of Cheng Wanju

Tomb of Cheng Wanju

Huang Ruhong has no son

to inherit his career.

He believes

that Cheng Yizhi,

the fatherless child,

Tomb of Cheng Wanju

is destined

to become the successor of his empire.

They are the same,

coming from the mire and eventually returning to the darkness.

But he didn't know

that Cheng Yizhi's inner desire

for light at this time

was enough to drive away all darkness.

Close the door.

At Rebang Bank,

you are no longer the Childe Gao,

nor the young master of Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory.

You are just

an ordinary young man.

You have no privileges here.

Every promotion you get

has to be in accordance with the bank's charter.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I have arranged a teacher for you

according to your age

and your learning ability.

You will benefit greatly

from learning from him.

Chief Wu.

Do I have to have a teacher?

Lizi.

Is it him?

Follow me.

Go with him.

The first lesson for bank trainees:

cleaning, serving and entertaining.

Cleaning means

cleaning the second-floor corridor

and every open room.

From windows and floors to tables, chairs and cabinets,

they must be spotlessly clean.

Serving means

filling and packing lunch boxes

for regular staff

at lunchtime.

Entertaining means,

after the bank opens and before it closes,

assisting the supervisor

- to maintain order in the lobby - Hello.

and serving tea and water to customers.

Report to me

after one month.

I have done a full month

of cleaning, serving and entertaining.

Please review.

Is there anything that Li

at the Transfer Office doesn't eat?

I…

Which section member is new

to the Credit Investigation Section?

Okay. Continue next month.

Charlie,

what do you mean

by these two questions?

You've been cleaning lunch boxes for a month,

but you haven't noticed

what Li doesn't eat.

You've been sweeping the floor for a month,

but you don't know who's new here.

I asked you two questions

and you couldn't even answer them.

And you asked me what I meant?

What does it matter to me

if Li is a picky eater or a new section member is here?

During the apprenticeship, I should learn

Chinese and Western calligraphy, Chinese Zhusuan,

inspection of currency,

bookkeeping and account checking.

Two things are important

during the apprenticeship.

Ethics and circumspection.

Let's not talk about your ethics.

You almost ruined Rebang Bank.

But you still failed to learn

the circumspection well.

Continue next month.

Charlie.

I have done two months

of cleaning, serving and entertaining.

Please review.

Which of our employees

has a new baby in their family this month?

Fang Wenxia of Credit Investigation Section

has a new baby.

A boy or a girl?

A girl.

By the way,

how many times has Mr. Peng

asked for sick leave this month?

Please change to another question.

Can't you answer me?

I can.

Then answer me.

It's hard to answer.

If you can't answer me,

you'll do that for another two months.

Come back.

Mr. Peng didn't ask for sick leave this month,

but he left early three times.

You knew that.

But why did you ask me?

I wanted to see if you could

keep secrets for your colleague.

You have passed

my test.

Come here.

These are last month's newspapers.

Clarify the relationships between

all companies, corporations, factories

and firms,

as well as the anecdotes

of political and business celebrities

and the scandals in theatre and entertainment venues.

Remember all those

whose portraits appeared in the newspapers.

I will test you again next month.

Yes, sir.

Go now.

Mr. Peng.

Wu…

Chief Wu.

Are you planning

to seek employment at another bank?

Did you go to negotiate salary with them?

Chief Wu.

I'm sorry.

I

resign.

I don't understand

why you must

leave Rebang Bank.

Because I voted against him.

Is it because Mr. Cheng's retention

made you feel discouraged

about Rebang Bank?

No, no, no.

No.

Is it because

you voted against him

that you

feel anxious

that I know about it

or

that Mr. Cheng knows about it?

If Mr. Cheng

was such a narrow-minded person,

he would not have proposed

a secret ballot.

I…

You are a senior employee of Rebang Bank.

I understand

why you voted against him.

That's because

you had a deep trust in Mr. Cheng

and hoped him to be better.

But I also hope you

can give him another chance.

I believe

he will not let you down.

Please.

Resignation

Leizi, how long have you been with me?

Master,

to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival,

nearly twenty years.

Twenty years?

You've been with me for twenty years.

It's time to let you take charge.

Can you handle

the opium business?

Master, if you trust me,

I will do my best.

Good.

From today onward,

take charge of the Persian Red

and the Dianchuan Aroma.

Thank you, master.

Is there anything else?

Master,

I've heard that Cheng Yizhi

is mobilizing in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry

to take your place

as a loan committee member.

Remember,

he goes his way,

and you go your way.

Don't interfere with each other.

I remember.

Who are those two men

in the front?

The tall one

is Director Liu Mingguang

of Mingguang Match Factory.

The short one

is the loan committee member of the Chanber of Commerce and Industry,

Ding Xiaolan.

Mingguang Match Factory

is engaged in a business war with the Japanese company Taniguchi.

Director Liu is probably

seeking financial help from Mr. Ding.

And who are the man and woman

in the side box?

The woman is the daughter of Minister Cao

of the Central Executive Committee.

She has rarely been seen for many years

and finally got engaged last month.

The man is her fiance,

Dr. Cui Damin, a physicist who studied in Germany.

By the way,

who is this Zhuge Kongming

on stage?

Her stage name is Guan Xiuyue,

a famous opera performer,

with handsome appearance in costume,

and elegant posture.

Only the experts know that her singing

is even better than her performance.

Her singing voice

is clean, bright and full of heroic spirit,

and can be strong or weak, soft or rigid.

Her strength is not inferior to that of the Qi School.

Her excitement is comparable to that of the Yu School.

And her emotion is more than that of the Yan School.

Stop!

Maggie Apartment

Welcome!

Let me take that.

Come in.

How did you get in?

That day

when he came

I was in a bit of in a hurry.

I still have your key.

What are you doing?

Didn't you come to return the key?

Of course not.

I'm going to live here.

You live here?

There's only one bed.

I know.

You can take the bed and I'll take the couch.

I've prepared everything.

Look,

the blanket, the pillow.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of myself.

Will you sleep on the couch?

Who told you to come?

Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang?

Dr. Zhang said

now

it’s a critical time for you

to resume walking,

so I need to take good care

of you with enthusiasm.

Sit down.

When did Dr. Zhang

tell you that?

This afternoon.

Why didn't he tell me?

He didn't tell you

when you couldn't stand up.

What will Mrs. Wang and Gui

do without you?

Mrs. Wang

went back to the countryside.

Her son had another son,

and she needed to go back to take care of the baby.

Gui

dated someone

and is going to get married.

Don't worry.

I gave them money

when they left.

You're not really going to live here, are you?

Of course, I am.

It's already ten o'clock.

Come on. Go to sleep.

Get up earlier tomorrow

at seven.

♫ When the fate of the light ♫

♫ Lighten our appearance in the past ♫

♫ I've learnt to be strong on stumbling ♫

♫ Lighten the dream you had ♫

Look at her eyelashes.

So long.

Like me.

I don't agree.

Let me.

Okay.

Xiaocong is good at

putting her to sleep.

Slowly.

Look at her little head.

Be careful.

It's okay.

He's been helping me a lot.

I trust him.

I should thank

Charlie very much.

Director Gao.

Listen. Xiaocong has really changed

since he learned from Charlie.

Oil Cake Wrapping Area

He's now considerate and thoughtful,

and has a good term with Liao Lan.

Aunt Liao, dad.

She's sleeping now.

Okay. Be careful.

Xiaocong is so considerate now.

Xiaocong is a quick learner.

Charlie is about to teach him

stock trading.

Oil Cake Wrapping Area

This is just the beginning.

Xiaocong will have a great future.

What are you standing there for? Open it.

Right. I forgot.

I was just wondering

what this would be.

This is a gift

from our family of four to you.

So you can use it early.

Ms. Liao,

this is a very expensive stick.

Money doesn't matter.

As long as it fits him.

- Come on. Try it. - Have a try.

Have a try.

The length is just right.

That's good.

Mr. Cheng.

With this stick,

you will be

the number one gentleman

in Shanghai.

A real gentleman.

He is already a gentleman.

He still needs to have physical training.

Remember to do it with him

day and night.

Got it.

Sorry. I spilled the beans.

She told me

about you two living together.

Ms. Liao.

Don't be shy.

We're all family.

Take your time.

You don't have to be here with me.

Go back.

But

Mrs. Wang and Gui are not at home.

I have nothing to do

even if I go back.

It's better for me to stay here.

Besides,

I also need others

to take care of me.

You can take care

of yourself.

I…I'm not bothering you.

I just sleep on the couch…

What are we

if we live together like this?

Ms. Liao laughed at us.

Let alone others.

Fine. I'll leave then.

Master, it's cold now.

Shall I fetch a coat for you?

The world is about to change.

On August 14,

National Government of the Republic of China

issued a declaration of self-defense against the war.

The following is the full text.

China today solemnly declares

that the sovereignty of Chinese territory

has been invaded by Japan.

The International Covenant,

the Nine Power Treaty

and the Non-War Pact

have been destroyed by Japan.

China will never give up

any part of its territory.

In case of aggression,

the only way to respond

is to exercise the natural right of self-defense.

Take good care of yourself.

Try not to go out, drive,

or go to the Concession.

It's dangerous there.

Be safe.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

If you need anything

to eat or drink,

just call me

and I'll send it to you.

Use hot towels on your legs and feet

at night.

You'll get better faster that way.

I'm leaving.

It's not safe for you to go back now.

Maybe you should stay.

Didn't you say

you were afraid people would laugh at us?

Then you'd better go.

I won't go.

Go.

I won't go.

Go.

I'm not leaving.

I'm going too.

To the bank.

Okay.

I'll unpack it later.

I don't have my bag.

I…I'll help you.

China today solemnly declares

that the sovereignty of Chinese territory

has been invaded by Japan.

Secretary Guan.

Dr. Xu, what's wrong?

How much money do we have?

Over 10,000.

Donate all of it to Anti-Japanese Relief Association.

All of it?

All of it.

News Report Ma Shuai returned to Beijing after meeting Zhou Enlai

Mr. Feng.

General Secretary Han.

Due to the special circumstances of the war,

I have recommended you to take charge of civil affairs,

which has been approved.

It shows that the Chairman

has great confidence in you.

Yes, sir.

The evacuation of the people,

the distribution of supplies,

and the transfer of the means of production

are all important tasks.

And you must ensure efficiency.

I'm entrusted with a mission at a critical moment,

so I dare not be negligent.

Thank you.

Mr. Cheng.

Two-thirds of the factories and businesses

supported by our bank

in Chinese sections in Shanghai

have been bombed and damaged,

and the losses of factories, machines, and workers

are still being calculated,

conservatively estimated at

over 600,000.

Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory's branch factory in Sichuan has become a large scale.

We should move there

and take all the technical backbone there first.

The workers who are willing to go with us

can go.

That's not the problem.

What about the plant and machinery?

I just can't make up my mind

because of the plant and machinery.

It's Rebang Bank's General Manager's Office.

I understand. Do your best.

The responsibility does not lie with you.

Half of the factories of Hengji Tea Shop

were destroyed,

and the factories of Shuangxi Fertilizer Factory,

Xiesheng Rubber Factory

and Daocheng Printing Factory

were all destroyed,

and the machines and equipment were...

What?

I thought we agreed

to stop production

and evacuate the factory workers.

It must be handled properly.

Give pensions as generously as possible.

Phoenix Match Factory

had also been bombed.

Sixteen factory workers were all seriously injured

and three died

due to repairing equipment.

The war does not wait for anyone.

The sooner we move out, the better.

We can't save the factories now.

Let's leave them.

Prepare to box up new machinery

and equipment immediately,

and sell the old ones at low prices.

Time is of the essence.

Okay. Internal relocation seems to be a must.

We'll get the preparations done.

Okay.

Secretary Ai.

Mr. Cheng.

I need you to send people

to Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

and Shenqin Cotton Mill as soon as possible.

All valuable machinery

and materials

need to be accounted for as soon as possible.

Okay.

Shipping space.

I'll take care of that.

Shenqin Cotton Mill

Shenqin Cotton Mill

Shenqin Cotton Mill

Move all explosive materials

to underground warehouse!

Safe production Create good medicine

Everybody, watch your step!

Watch your step!

Director! Director!

Do I need to cover the machine with tarpaulin?

The tarpaulin is flammable. Remove them all.

Okay.

The plane is coming. Run!

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

Please stop here.

I'll get off here.

Mr. Ying. Mr. Ying.

I only have two boxes of goods.

Please! Please!

You can stuff them anywhere.

Freight Transport Passenger Transport

The price is negotiable.

Mr. Ying. I only have three boxes of goods.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Sorry, we're full.

We're full.

Mr. Wan.

12-ton shipping space today.

It's urgent.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Please wait in line.

Mr. Ying. Nice to see you.

Mr. Cheng.

I'm sorry.

We're full today.

I don't have any

empty space now.

It's okay.

I'm not booking today.

I'm booking

a 46-ton shipping space on the South Star

for the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow?

Mr. Cheng.

You're so bold.

Mr. Cheng.

Don't you know?

The Merchants Bureau gives priority

to the members of the Banking and Monetary Association.

You have been expelled from the Shanghai Bank Association

and the Banking and Monetary Association,

but you are here shamelessly booking shipping space.

All the owners and bosses

are not agreed.

Not agreed! Not agreed!

Freight Transport Passenger Transport

Mr. Wan. You have always been concerned

about the affairs of Rebang Bank.

But you should not forget

the official document issued by the government.

Mr. Ying.

You have put this document

on the wall.

You should be able to see it clearly.

Military Council of National Government of the Republic of China

All manufacturers of essential materials for national defense and livelihood

enjoy preferential treatment from the government

and assistance for internal relocation.

I order

a 46-ton shipping space

for Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory,

Shenqin Cotton Mill

and Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

The cotton yarn, medicine and tung oil

are all essential materials

for national defense and people's livelihood,

so please cooperate.

Mr. Cheng.

Look carefully.

There is another sentence at the end of the document.

Note:

the manufacturers of essential materials

June 1937

for national defense and livelihood need have

certification approval from Ministry of Finance or Ministry of Civil Affairs

to enjoy preferential treatment.

Mr. Cheng.

Do you have certification approval from Ministry of Finance

or Ministry of Civil Affairs?

Have you figured out the situation of weapons?

121 Mauser guns,

with 40 rounds of ammunition.

Brother,

I still have 20 here.

As long as they are useful,

I am willing to take them out.

My little sister can't die in vain!

Right!

Keep your hard-earned money.

Someone will help us.

Help us?

Who?

Mr. Xu, please come inside.

I'd like to introduce Mr. Xu

to you.

I've known him

since I was working at the squash court.

He is now

fighting against the Japanese,

just like us.

Mr. Xu?

I... I think I've seen you

in the newspaper.

You're that Dr. Xu

from Wande Garden, right?

- Doctor? - Doctor?

Yes.

Who in your family was killed by the Japanese bombing?

My family members are in Europe,

still safe.

No one was killed?

Then why would you

do this with us?

You are an architect.

Aren't you afraid of death?

Now it is the time of life and death of the country.

If the country is gone, what's the use of an architect?

Unfortunately, I'm not good with guns.

But I have the money

and car you need.

Good. Come here.

Look at this.

This man is Liu Erlang,

Chief of the Japanese Army Division.

He is now based in a restaurant

on Haining Road,

which is called Ishikawa.

We're gonna kill him right here.

The application materials we submitted to Ministry of Finance

and Ministry of Civil Affairs

are delayed in being approved.

We can't count on the Ministry of Finance.

Rebang Bank has been expelled

from the Shanghai Bank Association.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Finance

is Feng Youru.

I'm afraid we won't be able to get it.

Mr. Cheng.

The Shenqin Cotton Mill No. 2 Factory

was bombed again.

Without fire brigade,

tons of cotton yarn are burning there.

And if it goes on like this, all the cotton yarn will burn up.

Our production materials are flammable and explosive,

and when they are bombed, they are in flames.

These days, the factory workers are scared to death.

I also can't sleep for a moment.

Mr. Cheng.

Have you got the shipping space for internal relocation?

To tell you the truth,

the shipping space for internal relocation

can't be solved in a short time,

so can you two accept

to give up internal relocation?

Give up internal relocation?

Then where are we going?

How about transferring all factory workers,

raw materials and machines

to the Concession

and starting production again?

I agree.

I also agree,

but I don't have a factory

in the Concession,

so where can I move to?

We can start looking for land

right now.

The land…

The land in the Concession is very expensive.

There is no way out now.

We have to do whatever it takes.

I'm afraid

there's more to it than that.

This morning,

the French Concession

just announced new regulations.

Any factory that wants to move in

must provide the International Settlement Municipal Council

or the French Concession Municipal Council

with Foreign Capital Certificate of the factory,

otherwise, it will not be allowed to enter.

Stop the car here.

But this is

still a long way

from the Haining Road.

The police of the Haining Road

have been replaced by the Japanese Marines.

I'm afraid the car can't get out

even if you drive in.

Turn the car around.

Remember,

wait here.

Got it.

Get out of the car.

Just in case.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Grocery Store

Mr. Lei, I am relieved

that you are here today.

National Revolutionary Army is going to lose.

You have invited me. How could I not come?

Mr. Lei, since you say so,

I'll be candid with you.

Colonel Liu would like to invite

Mr. Huang to discuss great plans

and build the Greater East Asia

Co-Prosperity Sphere together.

Mr. Dou, to be frank with you,

half of Mr. Huang's business

is now in my hands.

Do you mean

that we can cooperate directly?

Mr. Huang is too old

to do many things himself.

You're right. Come on.

Report!

Four assassins were here.

We've captured two,

and the other two is fleeing. We're in pursuit.

They're seeking their doom.

They think they can kill Colonel Liu

right here. So naive!

I admire you

for staying calm

in the face of the gunfire outside.

To good cooperation!

To good cooperation!

Drive!

Drive now!
