Original subtitles

In 1914, the First World War broke out in Europe.

British and French armies suffered heavy casualties under German attack.

In 1917, the Chinese government dispatched 150,000 laborers

in lieu of soldiers to Europe to fight alongside the Allied Forces.

Each Chinese laborer was assigned a wristband

with a code for identification.

The scars left by the copper wristbands

became a sign of recognition after the war.

The Chinese laborers were poorly equipped.

Besides trying to survive in the battlefield,

they had to do manual labor on the frontline.

FRANCE, 1917

- We need more men outside. - It's too dangerous.

We're out of ammunition.

Hurry, move it.

Tianyuan, don't be afraid.

Stay cool.

We will go back to China. We won't die here.

Don't be scared. Let's run together.

Don't look back. Just charge.

That's my amulet.

It will protect you.

JING WU

Brothers, let's run for it.

Run.

Run.

Hurry up.

The ammunition has arrived, sir.

How come the French army is retreating?

Chen Zhen. Help me.

Chen Zhen.

The Germans are coming. Watch out.

Is everybody all right? Anyone hurt?

Thank God you're with us, Chen Zhen.

I'm fine, thanks to your amulet.

God help us.

I want to go home.

Tianyuan.

I want to go home.

I'll kill you all.

I want to go home.

Take cover. We can't die here.

At the end of the First World War, though China was one of the victorious,

she was ignored by the other Allies.

Qingdao in Shandong was occupied by Japan.

In 1925, Shanghai was divided into settlements.

Behind the facade of peace and order,

Japan was increasing its influence, in preparation for the invasion of China.

SHANGHAI, 1925

Master Liu.

LIU YUTIAN - SHANGHAI TYCOON

Thank you.

- Master Liu. - Have a good time.

Boss, business is really booming here.

Who'd believe there's a war going on?

It's chaos outside. Where else can they go?

My brother heard cannon fire in Shenyang.

He said General Zhuo would defeat Zeng.

Rumor has it, Zeng is already fleeing.

If Zhuo wins, perhaps China will be united.

Not necessarily. Zeng is backed by the Japs.

The Brits don't want a united China either.

You're kidding. Have you been to Taiwan?

The Japanese rule is so organized there.

If you start trouble, they'll kill all of you,

so you can't even write your own history.

Sooner or later, Taiwan will become Japanese.

China isn't ruled by Chinese anyway.

The winner will either be Japan or Britain.

Don't forget, the more trouble there is, the more money we'll make.

Tell her to sing this song.

Kiki.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Please calm down, officers.

Tonight's on the house. Don't be upset.

Please sit down.

- Wen. - Yes, sir.

- I'm sorry, please sit down. - Pardon me, Master Liu.

- You returned from France? - Correct.

- Let me buy you a drink. - Thank you, Master Liu.

Which is higher: two pairs or three of a kind?

What do you have?

Three of a kind.

Then my two pairs beats you.

- Come on. - Let's play on.

Straight. I win.

I win.

Again.

You're betting with your life?

Can I do that?

How much is your life worth?

It can't be cheaper than yours.

What did you say?

Is your life worth this much?

Then I'm handing my life over to you.

We'll see.

Three of a kind.

You're out of luck.

I have two pairs.

How can that beat three of a kind?

Didn't someone say two pairs beats three of a kind?

You...

- Right? - Sit down.

Okay.

You made the rule, so live with it.

Okay.

My friend,

you'll pay me back with money or your life?

Of course I prefer with money not with my life.

That's good then.

- Let's drink. - Come on, let's play on.

I've drunk too much.

I can't take it anymore. Time to head back to the hotel.

Forget the hotel. Move in here.

It's simple. I hope you don't mind.

- Don't stand on ceremony. - All right, thank you, Master Liu.

You're here?

Didn't you promise to save me this room to watch the sunrise?

It's only 3:00 a.m. Watch the sunrise?

Meet my brother, Qi Tianyuan.

This is Kiki.

You now have more brothers than wives. What about me?

Marry me and you can do anything you want.

What about your other wives?

They're fleeting clouds. You're here to stay.

Then let's wait till they fleet.

- Let's have a drink. - Next time.

I already drank too much. Thanks.

He drank too much. Let me.

Then I won't intrude any longer.

I should go.

- Wen is downstairs. He'll drive you. - Thank you.

Your girlfriend is beautiful.

You're interested?

Help yourself, but she can be a handful.

A handful for you perhaps, Master Liu?

- Right? - Goodnight.

- Thank you, Master Liu. - You're welcome.

How come you became Liu Yutian's partner?

You'll be a celebrity overnight.

That's too dangerous, too high profile.

It's only an expedient measure.

No, getting Liu Yutian on our side is good.

It's not easy to win his trust so quickly. Make good use of it.

You really think Liu is up to any good?

This tycoon has clout with the triad.

But he's a Chinese after all.

We don't have enough resources.

To fight against the Japanese, we need to motivate every Chinese we can.

The more clout Liu has, the better for us.

Penetrating the triad and the Municipal Police

is beneficial to our movement.

We've contacted the Chinese from France.

- Take it easy. - Don't forget students like us.

Every Chinese is willing to unite and fight.

It's a pity our country can't be united.

It will, I'm sure of it.

Master, why did you set up the Jing Wu Athletic Association?

To protect our home and country, Chen Zhen.

JING WU ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

JING WU

FRANCE, 1917

Tianyuan, we're going home.

Rest in peace.

Tianyuan is coming back to China with us.

Chen Zhen can't go home.

But Qi Tianyuan can.

China will be our war zone.

HONGKOU DOJO

COLONEL TAKESHI CHIKARAISHI JAPANESE ARMY GENERAL STAFF OFFICE

I got word from Casablanca.

The Brits got hold of our dispatch schedule.

Except for me, only the three of you have seen it. Who did it?

I don't know about them but I never left HQ.

All Japanese soldiers must be ready to die.

Yes.

- Sisters, here comes the boss. - Cheers.

- Whose birthday is it? - Doesn't matter, as long as you're buying.

Very well. Drink up.

Chris.

The boss is quite a popular guy.

He's well connected in Shanghai. The one in white is Vivian.

Come here.

I have to step out right away.

General Zeng's girl. Keep an eye on her.

He has arrived.

Isn't he at war?

He's here. He's at YQ Mansion. He just sent for me.

Shall I get you a car?

No, thanks. His chauffeur is picking me up.

So happy. Have a drink before you go.

Pour her a drink.

Hey, Huang Lan.

- Do you have Red Haskels? - Sorry, Kiki. It just sold out.

- Shall I get you some? - Sure.

Goodbye, Mr. Qi.

- Miss, the General is waiting upstairs. - Okay.

Colonel, it's General Zhuo and General Zeng.

My men are in place. They are waiting for your order.

- How are you, General Zhuo? - How are you?

Long time no see. Please sit down.

It's so cold. I'm treating you to hot pot, so the two of us can have a good chat.

GENERAL ZENG - NORTHEAST TROOPS

GENERAL ZHUO - NORTHEAST NATIONAL ARMY

General, if our armies go to war, which side do you think will win?

Yours.

If the Japs decide to support your dad, then it's hard to say.

I'll accept fate.

My father is only exploiting the Japs.

He's doing it by sacrificing principles!

The Japs won't wait much longer.

They're getting ready.

They've already mentioned a Manchu State.

To be honest, I don't want to hurt the Northeast Troops,

but I won't let them interfere with the unification of China.

I'll be frank with you.

If your father backs off and puts you in charge,

I'll personally guarantee a ceasefire.

What do you say?

You're asking me to betray my father.

Tell that to our fellow countrymen.

General Zhuo,

General Zeng told me repeatedly that he trusts and respects you.

Can't you trust him, too?

Tell your father...

to avoid being the Japs' lapdog,

he has only one option...

peace talks.

The Republic has come a long way.

Her future depends on you and your father.

I need time to convince him.

Give me seven days.

Very well.

Seven days then.

If your old man won't listen,

we'll meet on the battlefield next time.

We'll always be brothers.

Drink up.

Have a heart, sir.

Stay back.

Colonel.

Have a heart, sir.

Protect the General.

A superhero just screwed up our operation.

Let's go.

Whose car was that hitting a police car?

I'll be damned.

Go take a look.

Who? Me?

Who else?

- I asked you to go. - Me?

Come here.

Move away.

Look at you!

Seal off the area, check for survivors.

- Look over there. - All right.

Damn!

Who are you?

The Masked Warrior.

Why did you save my life?

That wasn't my objective, you little warlord.

Tell that warlord father of yours to stop colluding with the Japs.

An enemy of the people will die a grim death.

- Did General Zhuo send them? - No, this is beneath him.

But who else knows you're here?

Colonel, we support Commander Zeng.

Why did we try to kill his son?

I'm not helping Zeng get rid of Zhuo.

- But Tokyo ordered... - It doesn't matter what Tokyo ordered.

What matters is what Tokyo needs.

An internal conflict among the Chinese is beneficial to us.

If the General is killed,

his father will go to war with Zhuo.

It was my mistake.

I didn't expect a superhero to show up.

Assassinations involve risk of failure.

The key is to find out who this man is.

Get on with it.

The Masked Warrior is an icon of resistance to the Japanese.

Don't let him bow out so soon.

An extra identity is good for you.

We'll run a report on him accordingly.

Extra! Extra!

Masked Warrior beat up the Japs.

MASKED WARRIOR BEAT UP THE JAPS

Huachao, don't wear black all the time.

People will think you're the Masked Warrior.

- Look who's talking! - Who could be the Masked Warrior?

I know who the Masked Warrior is.

He's so fierce. Could it be you, Master Liu?

Either he escaped from a mental hospital, or he's someone from here.

Are you so sure?

Everyone knows I run the largest mental hospital in Shanghai.

You better watch out. Don't get involved.

How can the head of a mental hospital be afraid of mental patients?

That's true.

What have you done? Collecting dead bodies?

You shouldn't trust the papers. It's not true!

You know who was there? General Zeng.

In fact, we got wind yesterday, there would be trouble at YQ Mansion.

We went there to check it out.

The place was crawling with people, 70 or 80 of them.

- There were only ten. - Fine. There were only ten.

But someone started to shoot and I grabbed someone.

You grabbed me.

We took cover behind the car and returned fire.

Then we split up. I took the left side, you the right.

Bang! I took out three of them and ran out of ammo.

- What could I do? - I was out of ammo, too.

I jumped from the car...

and started to punch.

You think I'm so dumb?

- How do you explain the Masked Warrior? - Listen to me.

I started fighting. I didn't want to be a show-off.

I pulled down my hat, so nobody could see my face.

They must have mistaken me for the Masked Warrior.

You're the Masked Warrior?

Look at yourself.

You look more like the Masked Pig.

No, not Chink... Chinese.

This month's payment.

Good.

I can at least explain to the brass.

True.

As long as we're here, you'll have cash to hand over every month.

What are you looking at? Shall I buy you one?

Lucky this wasn't on display last night, or you would be wearing a kinky costume.

Stop horsing around. I have a gun.

A gun? Why didn't you come sooner last night?

I need to find the perfect opportunity.

I found what you asked me to.

Those dead Japs had no identification on them.

Who's behind this?

How am I supposed to tell from the dead bodies?

General Zeng has left for the Northeast. What about Vivian?

That General is a true romantic.

He put her up in the Glen Hotel.

Where's the cash?

Stay out of trouble and don't get me involved.

Anyone suspicious in Casablanca?

There's a new partner.

He looks suspicious.

Go on.

His name is Qi Tianyuan.

He's just returned from France. He was a laborer in the war in Europe.

He hit it off with Master Liu right away and was made a partner of the nightclub.

What about you?

My mission is to get close to Henry the Brit.

There are too many people in Casablanca. I didn't notice him.

I'll keep an eye on Qi Tianyuan. I'm sorry.

Next time you make a report,

wait for your turn to speak.

I'm sorry, Colonel.

Vivian, here we are.

I thought I'd never see you again.

Vivian, we brought you these.

Cosmetics and perfume from Shanghai.

- And this. - And this.

Thank you. Thank you all.

There you go.

You asked me to bring these.

These bracelets. One for me, one for you.

They are from your mother.

You're my favorite sister.

All right. Time to go.

- Get me a pack of Red Haskel. - Yes, Kiki.

Mr. Qi.

- Enjoy yourself. - Certainly.

- How dare you cheat in here. - I did not.

Kiki, your Red Haskel.

Who's that foreigner with glasses?

Henry.

A British business intermediary.

He has clout at the American and British embassies.

- He's very well connected. - Better than you?

- Yes, only with regards to the Brits. - Here I come.

- Give me a hug. - Don't drink so much.

You scared everyone off.

I want a half-day off.

To do what?

To go out with him.

You don't mind?

Not at all.

Let's go.

Kiki, you may not like where I'm going.

You're afraid to bring me along?

That's the general. They are fighting.

Come on! Drink up!

- Can I have a seat? - Who is it?

For you? Of course. Look who's here.

Hey, Chief! Come! Hurry up!

This is Miss Kiki, introduce yourselves.

I'm Dagang.

- Fuhai. - Zhiyan.

- Dabao. - Xiang.

I'm Zhi.

- I'm Laixi. - Hello.

Chief, is this pretty lady your wife?

Girlfriend.

- Miss Kiki, you like Chinese white wine? - You bet.

Excellent.

What do you do?

How did you snatch him?

I'm a hostess at Casablanca.

A trendy girl.

That's the most fashionable occupation in Shanghai.

Brilliant.

Cut it out.

Let's drink up.

Chief, I want to say something. I'm overwhelmed by your visit.

I suggest we make a toast to those brothers who died in Europe.

Let's toast to our dear brother and comrade Chen Zhen.

Forget the past.

Let's drink up.

Zhishan.

- Let me. - Thanks.

- Kiki. - Hello.

- My sister. - Your sister?

- You look nothing alike. - Of course not.

I'm better looking.

Isn't the Chen Zhen you mentioned the one who barged into Hongkou Dojo?

Yes.

Wasn't he shot dead by the Japanese then?

He wasn't dead.

There were many rumors, but the Japs definitely hadn't killed him.

He fought with us for three years in Europe.

Chen Zhen was my brother. He was our brother, wasn't he?

- Yes. - That's true.

I have small eyes, but I can see very well.

He was invincible on the battlefront.

- Really? - He could run faster than a bullet.

Drink up.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Miss Kiki. This is for you.

Wow!

Thank you.

I'll leave you two alone.

Does it look like me?

Everyone here is so nice and real.

No need to grovel or pretend to be happy.

I wish I could live like this, too.

True.

Let me.

- Baton, tiger, chicken. - Baton, tiger, chicken.

Tiger.

- You lost. - I let her win.

Here we are.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Who are you?

I'll shoot on the count of three.

One...

two...

Three.

You're drunk.

I should go.

You always carry a gun?

Shanghai is a mess.

Master Liu gave it to me for protection.

So handsome. Can I have your autograph?

Forget the autograph. Keep it.

This will be my war trophy.

Thank you.

Who are you?

Your real name?

Fang Qing.

Miss Fang Qing.

WOOD AND FURNITURE

The Northeast map must be completed soon.

Tokyo wants it in two days.

What about the Chinese relics?

This map shows the distribution of relics in the Northeast.

The Shang Dynasty oracle bones are valuable.

Take as much as we can, destroy the rest.

This land is rich in all kinds of resources.

It's wasted on the Chinese. We should be running this country.

Colonel, a classified document from Tokyo.

DEATH LIST

So many people to be killed?

To kill that many in a month is tough,

even if the army moves in.

They must die to make way for the dream of our Imperial Japanese Empire.

All we need is a leak.

CLASSIFIED

The people on this list are openly against the Japs.

We can't publish this.

It will only help the Japs create a panic in Shanghai.

The Brits and the Yanks won't give a crap?

Did they interfere when the Japs started to occupy Shanghai?

No.

They watched from the sidelines trying to gain something from it.

Don't forget, we won the war in Europe,

but the Brits, the Yanks and the French still gave Qingdao to the Japs.

They don't care about justice, they're only after gains.

Extra. Japanese Death List.

Special Report from the Shanghai Radio. A Japanese Death List has been exposed.

Hundreds of patriots are being targeted for assassination.

Jack Taylor, John Haneke, Robert Wenders.

Du Wenqiu, He Chang, Hu Zhiyong.

Master Liu.

This list has come out.

What precautions are the police taking?

Sit down.

I had a discussion with my boss this morning.

We will closely monitor its development.

We will stay on it.

It's not a problem at all.

Don't give me that crap. I held your job once.

A discussion with your boss.

A discussion with your boss means shit.

I'm a businessman now. This has come out.

You know what this means for my business?

Everyone is getting scared.

If my customers run off, what should I do?

I need to know your action plan.

Will you protect those on the list?

Or try to catch the one who circulated it?

You're the police. You should maintain order.

Don't count on the Masked Warrior to do your job.

That's all I have to say.

Oh, yes, this is my partner Qi Tianyuan.

This is Inspector Huang.

My pleasure, Inspector. I'm Qi Tianyuan.

Huang Haolong.

Boss, the Japs are here. We have a situation.

Wait, come back, ladies.

- Sit over here. - Here comes trouble.

Colonel.

Yamazaki-san, how are you?

Long time no see. Have a smoke.

I need women.

- Where are the women? - I'm sorry.

Hurry up.

Let me check it out.

Check what out? Tell them to get lost?

Where are the women?

Right away. I'm sorry.

- Where are the women? - What is it?

The pretty girl is here. You're a lifesaver.

- Come. - Pretty girl, come here.

Come.

- Tell them this. - No problem. Anything.

No girls from Casablanca will sit at their table today.

- You'll get me killed, Miss Kiki. - Tell him.

Tell him.

She said no girls will sit at our table.

- What? - No.

Please wait.

- I'm so sorry. - Hold on.

- What's going on? - Let me.

She's gone.

Sorry, I'm Qi Tianyuan. Nice to meet you.

You're Master Liu's new partner, Qi Tianyuan?

You're well informed.

I'll sit with you.

I'm more than well informed. I like to look things up.

The man in this picture is also Qi Tianyuan.

I've been looking for that. Thanks so much.

No need to thank me. It wasn't hard to find this photograph.

The hard part is deciding who the imposter is.

Mr. Qi, do you know who the Masked Warrior is?

I heard it's a very nice film.

It's been doing well at the box office.

It's excellent. Have you seen it?

Now that the death list has come out,

do you think the Masked Warrior will interfere?

You mean that Masked Warrior?

Wait. Let me think.

He will.

How about a wager?

Let's see if more people will die,

or if more will be saved by the Masked Warrior.

- Shall we? - What's the bet?

One silver dollar.

How nice of you to drop by, Colonel Chikaraishi.

What are you playing? A silver dollar?

Have you met my new partner? A very interesting man.

Why did you let him be a partner but turn us down?

This business is too small for the Japanese.

On the contrary.

Then open your own, get a bigger one.

You're not afraid we'll become enemies?

If you manage to open yours, I'll close mine.

On the death list disclosed by the Japanese,

why are there names of foreign nationals besides Chinese?

The list was a fake.

The Japanese army has started moving in the Northeast.

Are you planning to invade China?

Is Japan planning to start the Second World War?

The fact that I'm here in Casablanca is enough proof

that the Japanese and Chinese are good friends.

Master Liu and I are the best of friends.

We'll never be enemies.

I have to go. I'll be back when I have time.

Please don't come back, even if you have time.

Mr. Chikaraishi, wait.

You dropped something.

It's mine. Thank you.

- Feel free to drop by Hongkou Dojo. - Sure, I'll do that someday.

- Boss, everything is okay now. - Okay?

I have become a traitor now. Okay?

Cigarettes.

DEATH LIST LEADS TO MULTIPLE SHOOTINGS.

Mr. Lam, go and lay low in Hong Kong.

- Sure. - Thank you, Masked Warrior.

- Fang Qing, I'll take you home. - Why?

Remember the last time you offended the Japs?

There are many people in Shanghai who have offended them.

- Can you protect them all? - I'll try my best.

Watch out.

Precisely because China needs you.

You should take temporary refuge. We'll come for you when it's safe.

Damn! How dare you mug me? I have a gun!

What's wrong with you? I want you to protect those people.

- Those defenseless intellectuals. - I followed the names on the list.

- They refused to leave. What can I do? - Scare them away.

You're good at scaring people. Just go as instructed and shut up.

- What are you doing? - Just go.

You have no right to do this.

- Don't push me. - I won't push. Go on.

This time is different. I mean leave with me.

Where to?

Anywhere.

I'll take you away.

Right now, I have things to sort out.

There are so many problems in the world.

How can you solve them all?

If everyone chooses to leave,

this place is finished.

Without a country, we have no home.

You're not afraid to die?

Everyone will die.

It's a matter of dying for something worthy.

Do you agree?

We must manage the time the fleet enters the harbor.

Keep a safe distance between the warships.

It's time we showed our strength.

Against the Chinese army, quantity is not the issue.

We're much stronger than the Chinese dogs!

Yes!

How about a wager?

Don't you like to write? Go ahead. Write. See if you can write anymore.

Chen Zhen,

don't give up.

Chen Qiang of the Shanghai Times is dead.

There's another one up there. No one alive.

Search more carefully.

Your younger brother is dead.

The comrade who taught me this song...

died in Europe...

fighting for his country.

Even today,

many people are still dying.

Long live!

Long live!

Long live!

Long live!

The Japanese army attacked the Northeast. General Zhuo was cornered.

Reinforcements from Heilongjiang were cut off. They're out of ammunition.

We must unite. Down with the Japanese!

Down with the Japanese!

- Rescue China! - Rescue China!

That's a lousy idea. What you said is useless.

Where can we get guns?

- Don't be reckless. - We must have enough ammunition.

Yes, we need a quick victory.

It simply doesn't work.

We can't sit still. We must go in for the kill.

- Kiki, your Red Haskels. - Thank you.

Do you have something to tell me?

One lump, two lumps.

No cream, right?

What do you really do at Casablanca?

I'm a hostess.

Are you looking down on me now?

Why did you ask me when you know the answer?

You don't smoke. Why did you ask Huang Lan for cigarettes?

I don't know what you're saying.

I hope you're not working for the Japanese.

Don't ever come back,

or I'll have to kill you.

Let me go.

Don't hurt Kiki.

I'm the General's girlfriend. He'll do anything you ask of him.

Leave Kiki out of this.

Do you understand?

Don't be scared, Kiki.

They only want the General to listen to them.

You think you know her?

You don't.

Her name is not Kiki.

Her name is Yumi Yamaguchi.

She's a Japanese.

What are you doing?

Doihara has Kumoko.

I have her.

They are the best spies.

Don't harm her.

She's with the General.

She's still useful as a hostage.

Using a woman for blackmail

is beneath me.

We are creating a smokescreen.

Since Zhuo opposes Zeng's cooperation with us,

he has his son's woman assassinated.

Yumi Yamaguchi, this is your new mission.

Congrats, Captain Yamaguchi. Well done.

I shall report to headquarters.

Excuse me.

I'm Huang Haolong of the Municipal Police.

What do you want?

I'm here to see the Colonel.

Woman.

So many?

Chen Zhen sent me here but pulled a no-show.

There are three points to our plan. The first point is time.

Since we will split up, we have to come back at the same time.

The second point is still time.

The danger multiplies with each second.

The third point is still time.

Hold this.

- Hurry up. What's the matter? - Follow us right away.

I'm the inspector. I'll stand here and watch.

You're garbage.

- Catch it. - Go.

Quick. Go.

What's up?

Oh, no!

What is he doing here?

- He's the enemy of our Army. - All Chinese are enemies of our Army.

How many can you snatch?

- Did you find out anything? - No.

Chen Zhen, you're too careless.

You once killed Tsuyoshi Chikaraishi at the Hongkou Dojo.

This man was my father.

SICK MEN OF EAST ASIA

Chinese are not sick men of East Asia.

Chinese are not sick men of East Asia.

Colonel, trouble at the headquarters.

Let him go.

I'll take him on at the dojo.

I shall avenge my father's death.

Hurry.

The Japs are coming. Let's go.

Hurry. Hurry. Withdraw.

Hurry up! Hurry!

Let's go!

That way! Hurry!

Over here.

Get in the car!

Hurry!

Don't move!

Where's the bomb I gave you, asshole?

Game over, Chen Zhen.

Mr. Qi. Give me a hand.

Kill them all.

You're Chen Zhen's sister.

I won't kill you.

Come. Get in there.

Step aside.

Step aside.

You stay here. You come with me.

Back off. There's nothing to see.

- Wake up, comrades. - Wake up, comrades.

- Fight the Japanese. - Fight the Japanese.

- Remember our national humiliation. - Remember our national humiliation.

- Boycott Japanese goods. - Boycott Japanese goods.

- Wake up, comrades. - Wake up, comrades.

- Fight the Japanese. - Fight the Japanese.

- Remember our national humiliation. - Remember our national humiliation.

This is a special report from the Shanghai Radio Station.

General Zhuo was ambushed by the Japanese and is losing the battle.

Thirty thousand people were killed or wounded.

The Northeast National Army is retreating.

You've been sleeping like a log.

That's brilliant.

How can you sleep at a time like this?

I thought I was an irresponsible asshole.

But you beat me. You've been sleeping.

What time is it?

It's a mess out there. Wake up.

Don't count on me. I can't do this.

You're Chen Zhen, wake up.

- Fight the Japanese. - Fight the Japanese.

- Remember our national humiliation. - Remember our national humiliation.

- Boycott Japanese goods. - Boycott Japanese goods.

- Wake up, comrades. - Wake up, comrades.

- Remember our national humiliation. - Remember our national humiliation.

Boycott Japanese goods.

Stop shouting.

What's the point of these slogans?

Go home. Go home.

That's Japanese turf over there. I can't help you once you cross.

Who needs you? We don't need help from a cop.

You work for the foreigners.

You don't represent us Chinese.

Besides taking bribes, what else do you know?

Watch your mouth.

Stay where you are.

A cop fired!

Don't shoot!

Who opened fire?

Stop it! Don't Shoot!

Stop!

You did nothing about their armed insurrection.

Now you expect me to let them go?

Think! Where do the students get their guns?

Someone else must have started the trouble.

The students must be convicted. Otherwise, what can I tell the Japanese?

Why do you need to tell the Japanese? We're in the British settlement.

You're useless.

You want to quit?

This is China.

It's you guys who should fuck off.

I hate you white-skinned pigs shoving your fingers in my face every day.

If I tell the brass how much you're taking from me each month,

we'll see who has to fuck off.

You're nothing but a dog.

Without us, can you be so comfortable?

Without us, can you be like that every day?

Can you stay in this job for so long?

Tell the Japanese?

You tell them shit.

What? Cat got your tongue?

You don't understand?

Then I'll say it in English.

You're absolutely useless.

I tell you, China has been around for thousands of years.

So many bullying foreigners have come here.

In the end, they're only waiting for two words: "Fuck off!"

- Bravo! - Bravo!

- Bravo! - Bravo!

- Bravo! - Bravo!

Release the students.

He's waking up.

He's really waking up.

Zhen.

- He's waking up. Doctor. - Come.

Laixi, Fuhai, Changman and Dabao.

They hanged them one by one before our eyes.

That's what the Japs want. That's what they want us Chinese to see.

What now?

When I got there, Zhishan was already...

Don't worry. I'm fine.

I really am fine.

Extra. General Zhuo defeated!

Extra. General Zhuo defeated!

Extra. General Zhuo defeated!

The Japs and Zeng defeated General Zhuo.

He and his wife are dead.

And the death list?

Those on the list are either dead or gone.

We have lost. Let it go.

The two of us can't save the world.

Brother.

How can it be Kiki? I must be mistaken.

You haven't been to work. I've been worried.

You look nice in this uniform.

I'm Captain Yamaguchi of the Japanese Army.

Miss Captain.

Merry Christmas.

I'm here on behalf of the Japanese Army.

I hope you can help us find someone.

One of mine?

We don't know. His name is Chen Zhen.

Isn't Chen Zhen dead?

We arrested his accomplice Dagang.

What if I can't deliver him?

To protect our subjects,

we have already expanded the area of our settlement.

We are ready to bring in the troops.

In other words, if I can't deliver him, you'll find an excuse to attack, right?

Can you shoulder this responsibility?

You're running out of bargaining chips.

You.

And you.

- What's going on? - Sit.

I still have chips.

Master, why did you set up the Jing Wu Athletic Association?

To protect our home and country, Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen will prevail.

Long live Jing Wu.

Chen Zhen will prevail.

Long live Jing Wu.

I've been waiting for you.

Nothing has changed in ten years.

There's no need to change. We, Japanese, are born strong.

Then, the outcome will be the same.

You lose.

Did the electric shock make you mad?

You promised to spare him.

Captain Yamaguchi, you know,

I never spare those who oppose the Army, including him...

and you.

If you prefer Fang Qing over Yumi Yamaguchi,

go ahead and be Fang Qing.

Chen Zhen.

Women are only sex toys for men.

Just like Fang Qing and Qi Zhishan.

Listen, you people! Chinese are not sick men of East Asia!

Stop! Stand down, everyone!

Leave him to me.

Sentimentality is only for the weak.

Chen Zhen.

I overestimated you.

Come on!

You piece of crap.

What now? Come on.

We will go back to China.

Run for it.

Run!

Our war zone will be in China.

If we unite, no country and no one can bully us.

I asked you to protect those people.

We've lost. Let it go.

Protect our country.

PEACE ON EARTH.

Are you really Chen Zhen? Open your eyes.

- Welcome, Captain Kawashima. - Salute.

The Chinese resistance movement persisted

as the Japanese invasion continued.
