[Dark Night and Dawn]

[Episode 29]

[Do not enter when the lights are on]

There's radiation here. It's dangerous.

[X-ray Department]

You really care about old comrades, our dear Director Lu.

You even drove him here yourself for the physical examination.

Stop being so weird.

This physical examination was specially arranged for Chen.

Hear me out first.

Deputy Commissioner Yang didn't just ask Li Yaohong to come here

to analyze the intelligence, right?

You only brought him with you last time

when you went to stop the incendiary bombs at the dock.

Did you do that to prevent the mole?

Shut your mouth first.

Aren't you going to get medicine for your mom?

Go. Go get your medicine.

You've been investigating the mole ever since.

Now you finally locked your target on Chen,

so you went through so much trouble

to arrange this physical examination

to make the mole show himself.

Listen.

Don't talk too much before the result comes out.

If he's really the mole,

don't you worry he'll run away?

Yaohong has arranged everything.

You have had a serious fracture in your left calf.

Judging from the shape of the wound,

it's an old wound from many years ago.

If it had been treated in time back then,

it could have been cured.

It's too late

to treat it now.

Okay.

See? I told you there's nothing wrong with my health.

Shall we go back?

Let's go back.

Thanks a lot, doctor.

You're welcome.

Ask Yaohong to leave as well.

Could it be...

the direction of our investigation was wrong from the beginning,

and we wronged Chen?

The fact that Chen didn't fake his limp

doesn't necessarily mean he's not an agent.

In order to infiltrate us,

losing a leg

is nothing to the NBIS.

Shaobai.

If it were you,

would you have made such a big sacrifice?

Now you want to ask my opinion?

Anyway, the greater the cost,

the more successful the disguise is.

Chen could have

gone for the physical examination openly for his leg,

but he insisted on putting on such a show.

Why?

There's only one explanation.

He was deliberately arousing our suspicion.

This way,

he can prove our suspicion wrong

and leave us no reason to investigate him,

so we even have to choose to trust him.

Yes, that's right.

Chen may have noticed

our suspicion of him because of this physical examination,

so he won't take any action in the near future.

Now we need a chance

to force him to take action.

From today on,

[Four years ago]

your codename will be

Nyctibius.

Nyctibius is a kind of bird which is best at disguise.

I believe you can

share that characteristic with the bird.

Please rest assured, dear Kuomintang.

When I found out

Li Yaohong started checking my files,

I knew they had started to suspect me.

This physical examination was a test to me.

What went wrong?

It should be that time when Liang Yunda...

Lu.

Chen.

You're going out with so many men. Are you on a mission?

We'll talk after we come back.

Okay, I'll stay here.

There's no water in the thermos.

I'll go get some boiling water.

Let me do it, Chen.

I was too busy this morning. I forgot to fill it.

Thank you then.

I'll go now.

Be careful.

Hello.

This is Nyctibius.

They have started to take action.

The only thing I know

is that they have a person in their hands

named Liang Yunda.

It was an emergency.

I had no choice.

But I didn't leave any evidence.

Don't worry.

The further they investigate,

the better it can prove my innocence.

They

can never imagine

what I have done

to be a secret agent.

You've suffered a lot these years.

From today on, don't take any further action,

so that all their investigations

will go awry.

Got it.

Hello.

This is Lu Zhengyang from the Social Affairs Office.

Director, this is Shi Pengfei.

We've arrived in Ningbo.

The debtor, Mr. Qiao, said

he has never seen Li Yuquan.

Come back with Zhou Hong then.

Okay, we'll set out right away.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Okay.

Everyone, get ready.

Let's get going.

Search all the places related to Li Yuquan.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

Director.

Director. Director.

This is Li Yuquan's confession.

[Keep an eye on Lin Shaobai]

[I was forced to use Mr. Jin's newly established Sugar Research Institute]

So the sugar factory has been studying anthrax all along.

Let's go over there right away.

So Ogura had been hiding here.

Protect the scene.

Don't let anyone in.

Huzi.

Yes.

Notify the Forensics Department

to conduct a thorough examination of this place.

Yes.

[Confession]

So Ogura has been in his hands all along.

He also provided the white phosphorus used to make incendiary bombs.

But there's something weird.

Since he has written the confession,

why did he run away?

It's written right here.

His wife and family don't know about it.

He wants to keep his family out of this matter.

It still doesn't add up.

Could this confession...

be forged?

[Map of Shanghai]

This confession should be written by him.

There is a detail here

that only he knows.

What detail?

I wanted to go to Hong Kong before the Liberation.

But as soon as I arrived at the dock, I was caught by Ye Shiwu.

It turns out he was the one who tipped him off.

This is Li Yuquan's notebook.

We need to examine the handwriting later.

Shaobai, did you find anything in his house?

I found some US banknotes, some gold bars,

and the bills of exchange the agents sent him,

as well as a gun.

We've also asked Mrs. Li.

She knows nothing about

Li Yuquan's doings or whereabouts.

Chen.

You are an old comrade.

What are your thoughts on tracking down Li Yuquan's whereabouts?

I'm not sure.

He might flee to another city.

I suggest

we deploy surveillance at stations and docks

as soon as possible

and search every hotel.

Since he wants to hide,

he might go to his relatives

or friends.

So we have to find out his social relations

as soon as possible.

Good.

You got it all.

Let's do as Chen said.

These anthrax bacteria

are exactly the same

as the type that infected those previous patients.

That anthrax warhead

was deliberately put there by someone to mislead us.

The Sugar Research Institute is the real source of pollution.

Most of the anthrax bacteria

have died off due to the lack

of a suitable environment for cultivation.

The decline of bacteria follows a predictable cycle.

By tracking when they began to die off,

we can roughly estimate

when Ogura and his group withdrew.

Dr. Zhao, we'll be counting on you in the coming days.

No problem.

I've reported to the hospital.

I'll do my best to cooperate with you.

Thank you.

I can't believe Li.

Why did he choose to be an agent?

And he's my husband.

Well, this...

Don't be too sad, Mrs. Li.

Can you think of

anything unusual

about him lately?

Did he

do anything special

or say anything special?

To be honest,

as soon as he got home, he'd keep to himself.

He wouldn't say a word to me.

What did he usually do when he got home?

See that chessboard over there?

He loved to fiddle with his chess.

He could play by himself for an entire afternoon.

Mrs. Lin.

What...

What should I do in the future?

How can I

face the neighbors?

Mrs. Li, don't be like this.

You can go to my place

so that we can keep each other company.

I won't let you starve anyway.

Have you eaten tonight?

If not, go to my place now to have a bite.

Let's go, go home with me now.

Come on, go to my place to grab something to eat.

Don't be sad.

Thank you.

It's not your fault.

Right?

What he did has nothing to do with you.

Let's go.

Huzi.

Take some men to guard the passageways on both sides.

I'll go in with Lin Shaobai.

Yes.

Xiang.

Yes.

Someone killed him.

The wound is bigger in the back than in the front.

It's also a Dumdum bullet.

Director,

we found this at the scene

of the firefight.

The third party who tried

to kill Wang Liqun did it.

They showed up again.

If the third party did it,

maybe Shrike still doesn't know he's dead.

Why don't we take a bold move?

Pretend he is still alive.

You mean...

he

is the good opportunity we've been waiting for?

It's the best chance we have right now.

Everyone, listen up.

We've located Li Yuquan.

Based on his confession,

he's probably Shrike's direct subordinate.

As long as we catch him,

it'll only be a matter of time to catch Shrike.

Then we can destroy the Shanghai Special Station soon.

Great, Director.

He's hiding

in Room 403 of Jian'an Apartment.

We have to

catch him successfully this time.

Okay.

Xu.

You stay here.

Chen, you have a leg problem.

You stay too.

Director, I can do it.

Stay.

Xiaoman, you handle the calls.

Inform the bureau immediately if anything goes wrong.

Yes.

Let's go!

Yes.

Xu, Xiaoman,

do you have the files on the agents

in 1947?

Find them for me as soon as possible.

1947?

I don't have them.

I asked you for them last time.

You said they're in the bureau.

My memory must be slipping.

Alright, Xu, I'm going to the bureau to get them.

Chen, let me go get them for you.

What are you doing?

This is my job!

What is... What is wrong with Chen?

Comrade, can you hurry up?

I've got an urgent situation.

Falcon, this is Nyctibius.

Li Yuquan is hiding

in Room 403 of Jian'an Apartment.

Lu Zhengyang has sent someone there.

You have to get rid of him before the police!

Otherwise, we'll all be doomed!

Hello?

Director, I've confirmed that Chen is an agent.

Don't alert him.

Wait until we return.

Okay. Okay.

What happened?

Chen really is the mole.

He contacted Xu Wei.

Once Xu Wei gets close,

pull the curtains to close in on him.

Okay.

Come and have a look.

Everyone, come and have a look.

Sweet and crisp apples.

Come and have a look.

Cigarettes of Pirate.

Cigarettes!

Shoeshine!

Shoeshine!

Cigarettes for sale!

Come and have a look.

Fresh apples. Have a look.

Shoeshine!

Cigarettes for sale!

Come and have a look.

Fresh apples. Have a look.

Cigarettes for sale. Cigarettes.

Come and have a look.

Shoeshine!

Cigarettes for sale!

Cigarettes for sale!

Who fired the shot?

Let's get out of here!

Get off!

The man at the intersection is Xu Wei.

Send the signal to arrest him.

We can't catch up with him.

If Xu Wei knows

we are lying in ambush,

Shrike will definitely realize

this is a trap.

It'll ruin everything.

You mean...

Let's pretend this is our first trip here

and nothing happened just now.

Let's go.

Huzi.

He's dead.

Send the body to the Forensics Department for an autopsy.

Yes, sir.

Director Lu.

He escaped.

Captain Zhang asked me to report to you.

The shot came from a house that no one lives in

across the street.

Tell Captain Zhang.

Keep this operation a secret.

Yes, sir.

It's a Dumdum bullet again.

Looks like it was the third party again.

Were they trying to kill Xu Wei

or to warn him?

I asked you to keep an eye

on the police and Shrike.

Who asked you to shoot?

Your shot

has put me in the line of fire!

He works for Zheng Lanting.

He must have something to do with Yang's death.

I just couldn't help myself.

I've told you many times

this is not the time for revenge.

This is not the time for revenge!

What if the police find out about you?

What would happen to me?

The police didn't notice anything unusual.

They just took Li Yuquan's body away.

What about Shrike?

What should I do if Shrike finds out about you?

That shot

has forced me to declare war against Shrike!

Mr. Jin, don't worry.

I did that.

If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it even at the cost of my life.

At the cost of your life?

How much is your life worth?

Use your head!

Leave.

Reflect on yourself.

I don't know who fired the shot.

But I can't think of anyone else apart from the police.

Chief,

I guess the police are hunting Li Yuquan.

Li Yuquan knows Jin Maochang

has been working for us.

If he turns Jin Maochang in,

Mr. Zheng, you'll be exposed too.

Our priority now is to evacuate.

His daughter is still in our hands.

What if you're exposed?

It's too risky.

The transmitter-receiver is in the studio,

and there are many files and telegrams that need to be transferred or destroyed.

Chief, there's still time for us to evacuate.

We must stay calm even in difficult situations!

Through which channel did Jin Maochang

purchase the white phosphorus?

Through the match factory.

The match factory.

Li Yuquan's factory is a sugar factory.

Logically speaking,

this has nothing to do with him.

How did the police

link him to the white phosphorus case?

There's another possibility.

Jin Maochang set a trap

to get rid of our spy.

Yes.

It's very likely.

In other words,

Li Yuquan didn't run away with his money.

Mr. Zheng, does it still matter?

Li Yuquan has been arrested.

It matters a lot.

If this theory is correct,

Jin Maochang definitely knows

Li Yuquan's whereabouts.

Because if Li Yuquan is caught,

the first person to suffer would be Jin Maochang.

Call Jin Maochang to verify it.

Okay.

No one is answering.

Keep calling.

Still no answer.

Try again.

Falcon, this is Nyctibius.

Li Yuquan is hiding

in Room 403 of Jian'an Apartment.

Lu Zhengyang has sent someone there.

You have to get rid of him before the police!

We finally identified the mole.

Just as we expected.

When should we arrest him?

He has already been exposed.

We can arrest him anytime.

If we keep him in place,

we can use him.

It's more helpful to us.

We can also find Shrike

through him.

Then we can't arouse his suspicion.

We need to keep playing along.

Still no answer.

Try again.

Mr. Zheng, it's too risky.

What if Li Yuquan really ran away with his money?

Considering what Lu Zhengyang and Lin Shaobai are capable of,

he might have already confessed.

Now I increasingly trust

my intuition and judgment.

Let's wait a little longer.

If Jin Maochang doesn't show up before dark,

you, go kill him.

Got it.

We've been running the studio for so long.

We can't expose it easily.

It's Jin Maochang's car.

Go bring him here.

Okay.

If you notice anything wrong with him,

kill him.

Got it.

Is Mr. Zheng here? I have an urgent matter.

Mr. Zheng is waiting for you upstairs.

Do you know Li Yuquan has been arrested?

Yes.

But the police only got his body.

Even Falcon couldn't do it.

How did you manage to do that?

Li Yuquan already died before the police arrived.

I must apologize to you for this personally.

I shouldn't have done it,

but the situation

was too urgent.

If I had waited even a minute longer, the police would have arrived.

So I had to do it without your permission.

Otherwise, we all would've been exposed.

Did your man shoot him?

Yes.

After Li Yuquan died,

I asked my man

to stay there

to keep an eye on the police.

But unexpectedly,

Falcon suddenly appeared.

And the police already arrived at that time.

He had no choice.

My man could only shoot to warn him.

Your man knows him?

Everyone knows Falcon,

since he is on the wanted poster

in the newspaper every day.

A warning shot aimed at my head?

If I hadn't been lucky, my brains would've been blown out.

I wasn't there.

So I don't know how the shot

was fired.

But what I know is

if he hadn't fired the shot,

you would have been arrested.

Mr. Shrike,

the most important thing now is unity.

Unity is always the most important.

You...

can go rest now.

Yes, sir.

Jin.

We talked about the white phosphorus at your place last time.

Did you think of putting the blame

on Li Yuquan soon after that?

Jin,

do you play Go?

No.

Impressive.

You thought ten steps ahead.

Nothing can escape your eyes.

I was really scared at that time.

I was worried if the police dug deeper,

I wouldn't know what to say.

I just wanted to find a scapegoat.

Li Yuquan seemed honest

and easy to deal with.

So I pinned everything on him.

But I really didn't expect

that he was your man.

If I had known,

I never would've made that mistake.

Now that he's dead,

you can completely feel relieved.

The most important thing in printmaking is

making each cut with confidence and precision.

One wrong cut

will ruin

the whole piece.

When the knife is in your hand,

even a mistake

can be turned

into a masterpiece.

I'm here in person today.

If there's anything I've done wrong,

Mr. Shrike, please guide me.

No, no.

What you did

is impressive.

You killed four birds with one stone.

You killed Li Yuquan,

saved Falcon,

and protected Ogura.

And I'm here, calm and at ease.

You did a good job.

At my age,

I just want peace.

Don't let the appellation "Old Jin"

fool you.

You're still young.

To be exact,

you're tougher and more ambitious

as you grow old.

I'm not ambitious.

I'm just taking things one step at a time.

Keeping myself alive is enough for me.

The best days are yet to come.

People like you

can live to 120 at least.

I-I think we've covered

everything that should be discussed, right?

Yes.

I won't ask you to stay then.

Goodbye.

See you.

[Changjiang Warehouse] [Incendiary bombs]

Li Yuquan

was in charge of the lab for researching anthrax

and other biological weapons.

He had a special identity.

Shrike knows

everything about him.

So it fits Shrike's style to kill him

before we could reach him.

I'm really frustrated.

We finally tracked down Li Yuquan,

but the agents got to him first.

[Map of Shanghai]

So,

before we took action,

the agents already knew Li Yuquan

was hiding in Jian'an Apartment.

[Changjiang Warehouse] [Incendiary bombs]

We've been dealing with Shrike

for a long time.

He is proud and arrogant.

Everyone, don't be discouraged.

We managed to track down Li Yuquan.

I believe we're not far from finding Shrike.

Yes.

Director Lu is right.

Comrades,

we've sabotaged agents' operations

countless times before.

It's fine even though we failed this time.

Even Li Yuquan, a high-ranking agent,

wrote a confession.

What does it show?

It shows the Shanghai Special Station is losing its influence.

Like grasshoppers in autumn,

they won't be able to jump around for much longer.

Catching Shrike

is only a matter of time.

So comrades,

we must pull ourselves together.

We must come out on top in the next mission.

As expected from an old comrade,

what you said is reasonable.

You mean...

Chen hasn't realized

he has been exposed.

Instead of arresting him now, we should

adopt a long-term plan to catch someone higher-ranking. Right?

Yes.

For an agent like Chen,

immediate capture and interrogation

might not be the best strategy.

If we leave him in place,

we might be able to use him to track down Shrike

and destroy the Shanghai Special Station.

That's a good idea.

But we have to keep everything under control.

This is very important,

so I need to discuss it with the higher-ups.

I'll let you know immediately

once a decision is made.

Got it.

I knew you'd be eating vegetarian food again.

Fortunately, I prepared this.

All these go perfectly with wine.

There's another good thing.

Chili sauce.

You're so generous.

Through Li Yuquan,

we uncovered a mole.

The bureau asked us to keep it under wraps for now,

but I think

the three of us can still celebrate

privately.

Come on, cheers.

Quietly.

Celebrate.

Here, try these pig ears.

I went a long way to buy them.

Right,

try this chili sauce.

Li Yaohong

has become a fan of chilies because of me.

Really? It's so spicy and you can still handle it?

Yes.

I'm from Shanghai, but I'm not used to this.

We're brothers in the same trench.

We couldn't have succeeded this time

if any one of us was absent.

So,

you've got to

try some chili sauce too.

It's too spicy.

You're so optimistic.

We still haven't tracked down

the third party that killed Wang Liqun

and Li Yuquan.

We've only solved

half the case.

Don't you know the investigation direction

of the other half?

What do you mean?

Now that Li Yuquan is dead,

Jin Maochang's suspicion in the whereabouts

of white phosphorus and the anthrax in the sugar factory

has been wiped clean.

He's the one who has benefited the most.

Right?

In terms of benefits,

the biggest winner should be Shrike, right?

With Li Yuquan dead,

Shrike is safe.

Not necessarily.

The third party killed Wang Liqun first.

Then they killed Li Yuquan.

Wang Liqun was the one

who killed Mr. Liu from the textile factory.

Li Yuquan was the mastermind behind the theft of white phosphorus in the sugar factory.

Both of them

had deep ties to Jin Maochang.

There's no way that was just a coincidence.

You're right.

Your suspicion is reasonable too.

But we have no evidence now.

Lu, you always emphasize the importance of evidence.

There will be.

It's just a matter of time.

Of course we will investigate the third party.

But now we should focus

on the mole,

Chen.

Come on.

Let's make another toast.

Come on.

Dad,

I haven't seen you drink for a long time.

Li Yuquan's case is closed.

I'm happy,

so I'm having a drink.

Luckily, we stopped him in time.

If the secretly developed anthrax was unleashed,

it would be a disaster for Shanghai.

He and the people behind him are truly crazy.

Luckily, the case is closed.

Otherwise, I could have been dragged into this mess,

and it would be hard to explain.

With all the noise they made,

you didn't notice anything at all?

I promise you

I didn't notice anything.

I've explained everything

to Director Lu

and Shaobai.

It's all in the past.

Stop being worried.

Let's eat then.

An admission letter from Professor Lin Ji!

[Forensic training program in Nanjing
Admission letter for Jin Yan]

Dad, you know what?

I've read all of his books.

Professor Lin Ji

will offer a forensic

training program in Nanjing.

I applied. I've been waiting for the result.

How did you get the admission letter?

I didn't pull strings.

I know you want to learn from him,

so I sent your files

and some of your papers

to Mr. Lin

through a professor.

I didn't expect such a quick reply.

Looks like Mr. Lin

is very impressed with you.

[Forensic training program in Nanjing
Admission letter for Jin Yan]

The program will start after Chinese New Year.

Thank you, Dad.

Seeing you so happy

makes everything worthwhile.

Dad,

a toast to you.

Cheers.

Before Jin Maochang left, he said

he could transfer Ogura

to a safer place.

What do you think?

He thought his plan worked.

He said that to get under our skin.

Get under whose skin?

Do you think he has the guts?

Jin Maochang made a careful plan.

He got the police to keep an eye on Li Yuquan.

By stirring things up on both sides,

he managed to eliminate the spy we planted

around him.

Ogura's research institute

was also kicked out of the sugar factory.

I have to admit

that was a smart move.

Kill with a borrowed sword.

Now we have no choice

but to suffer in silence.

Yes.

That was indeed a smart move.

But he has forgotten who we are.

We can flip the board anytime.

Exactly.

Eat before you leave.

Okay.
