[Deep Lurk]

[Episode 1]

In 1939,

the Kuomintang military advisor

Qu Wenzhi defected to the Japanese army

and secretly plotted to assassinate

Xue Yue, the commander of the Ninth War Zone.

The plot was uncovered by our party's undercover agents

and was promptly stopped.

Qu Wenzhi, carrying the defense map of Changsha,

fled to Shanghai,

intending to hand over important intelligence

to the Japanese spy, Viscount.

With five more seconds,

[Investigation statistics Bureau]

the commander of the Ninth War Zone

would have died in the Japanese assassination plan.

And you still have the nerve to say

that your security measures

were theoretically flawless?

It was our fault for being negligent.

What's even more ridiculous is that the people

who stopped this assassination plan were actually from the Communist Party.

This is simply a disgrace,

a huge disgrace.

Director,

we will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

[Ke Jingping, Chief of the Kuomintang NBIS Hunan Station]

Send someone to Shanghai immediately

to capture Qu Wenzhi.

At Shanghai Railway Station,

[Shanghai Railway Station]

the Japanese military police

and the No. 76 Operation Team of the Wang's Puppet Government

are fully armed

to protect Qu Wenzhi.

Meanwhile,

[A member of the Kuomintang NBIS operation team]

the Kuomintang NBIS sent people

to track down Qu Wenzhi

and intercept the intelligence.

Cheng Huize, the chief of the NBIS Shanghai Station,

sent people to assassinate Qu Wenzhi.

I want him alive.

[Cheng Huize, Chief of the Kuomintang NBIS Shanghai Station]

Yes.

Within moments,

the people from the three parties waiting at the train station

are at a tense standoff.

Sir,

can you take me to Aihua Hospital?

The rickshaw pullers aren't picking up passengers;

the cigarette vendor is distracted.

Cigarettes!

And the cleaner is only sweeping one spot.

There's even a familiar face here.

Yuan Bengang.

[Yuan Bengang, Leader of the No. 76 Operation Team of the Wang's Puppet Government]

Look.

Even Chief Takahashi from the Military Police Command

[Takahashi, Chief of the Japanese Military Police Command]

is here in person.

[Yun Hongshen, Second Young Master of the Yun family]

There's also Viscount, who's so mysterious

it's as if he doesn't exist.

[Viscount, Japanese agent]

It seems that today, this train station

is truly a gathering of big shots.

Second Young Master,

if anything really happens later,

please don't...

Don't act rashly.

Don't make decisions on my own.

Follow Mr. Yun's instructions in everything. Right?

Yes, yes.

[Xu Meijia, Japanese agent]

Cigarettes.

Isn't that my dear Uncle Cheng's

most trusted assistant, Zheng He?

The NBIS sent people here too?

Second Young Master,

Yuan is making a move.

I understood.

What did you understand?

Obviously, Yuan is measuring the wind speed.

There's...

a sniper of theirs on top of this building.

[A sniper of the No. 76 Operation Team of the Wang's Puppet Government]

I'd rather he be dead

than fall into the hands of the Chinese.

So there's a third party waiting to seize the fruits of victory.

This person, whom Viscount came

to pick up himself, must be an important figure.

The guy from No. 76 and Takahashi

must be here to protect this important figure.

And the NBIS

doesn't want Viscount to meet this important person,

[A sniper of the Kuomintang NBIS]

so they took action as well.

They might be here to hunt,

but given the situation today,

they're more likely the prey.

With so many Japanese

and their lackeys in this square,

and so many of their informants upstairs,

whatever the NBIS plans to do,

they're bound to be surrounded.

So,

we need to help them.

We can't.

Mr. Yun has repeatedly emphasized

that our team's only mission

is to follow Viscount.

No matter what happens during this time,

we cannot intervene.

We are all Chinese; how can we just stand by and watch someone die?

Besides,

it's too late for us to avoid getting involved now.

Why?

How long has our car been parked here?

It's been sitting here with no one getting out.

Doesn't that seem suspicious?

Besides,

are you sure that the eyes upstairs

haven't noticed us?

Don't move.

These bastards are always villainous.

They can make something out of nothing.

Moreover,

we're actually doing something.

But there are only three of us.

Can't three people accomplish great things?

The exact time we arrived here

was 9:19.

And anyone who entered the building

after 9:00 with an unfamiliar face

is likely the person you're looking for.

After taking down the sniper,

stay there and keep an eye on things.

Once chaos breaks out in the square,

kill Yuan

and pull out immediately.

Cigarettes!

Let's go!

Viscount is too hard to take down.

If something unexpected happens,

he definitely won't show up.

Go and keep an eye on Xu Meijia.

If she shows any suspicious behavior,

report immediately.

Yes.

Let's go!

Our sniper should have already been taken down.

Implement Plan B.

Yes.

Call the people from No. 76

and tell them that a wanted

anti-Japanese activist

was spotted near the train station

and that the person got into a car

with the license plate number 0231.

Isn't that Viscount's car?

Exactly.

I want to make them fight each other.

Those traitors will certainly latch onto Viscount

once they hear there's a chance for credit.

This way,

we'll have an opportunity to act.

Why do you want to hold back Viscount?

That important figure is not dead.

That's impossible.

I saw him being shot dead with my own eyes.

That must have been a body double.

A body double?

He was shot dead by Takahashi.

When he ran over there with the Japanese military police,

he didn't even look at that person,

only focusing on finding the people from the NBIS.

What does this prove?

The person who died wasn't important at all;

the real target had already been moved.

[Qu Wenzhi, the military advisor who defected from the Ninth War Zone]

Sorry, Mr. Qu,

for making you suffer.

Miss Xu,

they won't let me off.

They didn't succeed this time, so there will be a next time.

If they fail next time, there will be another after that.

In short, they will never let me off.

I've been completely sincere.

You must ensure my safety.

Second Young Master,

I think your analysis makes perfect sense.

After the chaos broke out in the square,

Xu Meijia got out of the car alone

and got into a delivery truck of Tous Red Wine House.

[Tous Red Wine House]

That matches up.

They got that person

into the wine house's delivery truck and took him away.

That's why I need to hold back Viscount.

We absolutely can't let him see that person.

It's unrelated to our mission.

We've already broken enough rules today.

If Mr. Yun finds out,

we'll all be doomed.

When you're on a mission, sometimes you can't just follow orders.

This is an emergency situation,

so we need to handle it flexibly.

Hurry up.

I have follow-up plans to carry out.

Don't mess up my big move.

Go.

Go.

Second Young Master,

you really can't do this.

Mr. Yun has repeatedly emphasized

that this Viscount is not easy to deal with.

He's extremely cautious.

Even if you manage to hold him back,

it won't be easy to wrap things up.

If this traces back to you,

won't both you and Mr. Yun both be exposed?

Why did I have Zhou use that gun earlier?

Kill Yuan.

That's a standard-issue weapon for NBIS agents.

You're not thinking of...

The Japanese sniper

was taken down by the people from the NBIS.

The person who called No. 76

to report Viscount was

also from the NBIS, of course.

Thank you, sir.

When I get the bounty, I'll be sure to show you my gratitude.

Okay, okay.

Goodbye.

Second Young Master,

why are you so determined to do this?

Out of curiosity.

Mr. Yun,

there's an emergency.

The person important enough to prompt Viscount to take action

would be immensely useful to us

if we can keep him under our control.

Actually,

I do have a bit of a personal motive for this.

I want to use him

to trade for something with my father.

Cigarettes.

Sir, take a look.

Cigarettes!

[Tous Red Wine House]

I'm sorry, Sir.

All the VIP wine-tasting rooms upstairs are occupied.

Perhaps

you could make do by taking a seat

at one of the booths for a while?

I'm terribly sorry.

Alright.

This way, please.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Miss.

May I ask who you are looking for?

[Wen Yeming, an agent from the Kuomintang NBIS Hunan Station]

Just now,

a gentleman called our restaurant

to order sushi

and requested it be delivered here.

He said he would be in Private Room No. 1.

I kindly ask that you make an exception.

I must deliver the sushi to the guest personally.

Please.

Please wait a moment.

I need to confirm with my guest.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Would you like to order anything else?

Hello, what would you like to drink?

Chateau Latour.

Certainly. Please wait a moment.

Oh, where's the restroom?

It's over there.

Alright, thank you.

Could I have this, please?

Certainly.

Thank you.

This important figure has truly suffered.

Idiot!

Don't you know

he is a director of the Far East International Communications Bureau?

You shot him without confirming.

Bastard!

Now,

Mr. Takahashi should be arriving

at Tous Red Wine House.

What's going on? What's going on?

Let's go!

Let's go!

Hurry up and leave!

The Japanese are coming!

Move!

Where is he?

He was already gone when I came in.

Let's go!

Don't panic.

Just pretend nothing happened.

The Japanese woman who was hiding in the wine house

is a fake.

How do you know she's a fake?

Japanese people often sit in a kneeling position,

which causes their legs

to develop some degree of inward turn.

But that woman's legs were perfectly straight,

not indicative of someone used to prolonged sitting in a kneeling position.

Besides, she's quite good at fighting.

I suspect

she was also there for that important figure.

Extra! Extra!

Big news in Shanghai!

[Willy Brothers Tobacco Co., Ltd.]

The famous banker Xu Jinsheng

was assassinated for refusing to redeem Japanese savings bonds.

Extra! Extra!

Extra! Extra!

Extra! Extra!

-The famous banker Xu Jinsheng... -A newspaper, please.

Here.

Second Young Master.

Extra! Extra!

extra! extra!

The famous banker Xu Jinsheng

[Famous Banker Xu Jinsheng Assassinated for Refusing to Redeem Japanese Savings Bonds]

was assassinated

-for refusing to redeem Japanese savings bonds. -Go to the bank.

Second Young Master.

Just go!

Strongly oppose the savings bonds!

[Bank of France, Shanghai Branch]

Protest the invaders' plundering!

Protest the invaders' plundering!

Strongly oppose the savings bonds!

Strongly oppose the savings bonds!

Protest the invaders' plundering!

Protest the invaders' plundering!

Protest the invaders' plundering!

Protest the invaders' plundering!

[Bank of France]

Mr. Frank,

thanks to the Bank of France

for its strong support of our work.

I believe

[Yun Muzhi, President of the Bank of France, Shanghai Branch]

that our efforts

will certainly be rewarded with great returns.

To be honest, Mr. Noda,

[Frank, the French Chairman of the Bank of France, Shanghai Branch]

I am more concerned about

the future of our Bank of France and the French Concession.

Thank you.

Then let's look forward to it together.

You're welcome.

Strongly oppose the savings bonds!

Strongly oppose the savings bonds!

The prospects of our cooperation are very promising.

That's right.

Yes.

This is very good.

-Don't worry. -Shen?

It's no problem.

Dad, what are you doing?

Those savings bonds are nothing but a pile of useless paper.

Shen, shut up.

This is...

Mr. Noda,

I'm sorry.

This is my son.

He's impolite.

I will definitely discipline him properly when I get back.

Mr. Noda,

please carry on with your business.

The situation is special today,

so I won't see you off.

No need, no need.

Thank you again.

You deliberately sent me away

just to do this?

Who are you to interfere

with the decision I made?

Your father is simply carrying out my orders.

Do you understand?

Mr. Frank,

you don't think the Japanese truly want

to be friends with you French people, do you?

They have greedy ambitions,

never satisfied with what they have.

Sooner or later,

they'll set their sights on you.

It's...

Muzhi,

it seems there are some things he should know now.

I'm not afraid to tell you the truth.

I don't want those useless pieces of paper

from Japan either.

But if the cost is losing

France's concession rights in Shanghai,

I'd rather be extorted.

It's easy for you to say.

But in the end,

we Chinese are the ones being extorted.

We have an old saying in China:

"Being generous with other people's money."

Mr. Frank,

I'm sure you understand what that means, don't you?

Hongsheng,

let me remind you.

You are working for the French Republic,

and like your father,

you must

always prioritize its highest interests

in everything.

Mr. Frank,

with all due respect,

I am Chinese.

My first priority

will always be the interests of the Chinese people.

Mr. Yun, you're back.

You two, come to my study.

Shen,

wait here.

Dad,

I just want to ask you one question.

Are you still Chinese?

Do you remember what you told me

when you decided to go to France to study finance?

Mr. Zhang Si once said,

"Among the best ways to save the country,

education is like flowers, while the army and navy are like fruits.

But the foundation lies in industry."

So, I've made up my mind

to study finance

and pursue the path of saving the country through industry in the future.

But later,

you dropped out and came to Shanghai to find me.

Why?

Dad,

given the current situation,

industry alone can no longer save China.

Winning this war is the urgent priority.

Please stop telling me about that

"more friends means more paths."

The French

will never truly be our friends.

I just want an honest answer from you today.

If we're on different paths...

What then?

Then we can only part ways.

Alright, I see you're determined.

Before I answer your question,

could you explain

your series of

foolish and reckless actions today?

The reason I got involved with the NBIS's business

is simply because Chinese people should help fellow Chinese,

even if there are many things they've done that I disapprove of.

As for preventing Viscount

from meeting the person hiding in the wine house,

it was because I thought he was very important.

If we can keep him under control,

then, to us...

Do you think Viscount is a pushover?

Let me tell you.

You've already been exposed,

including me.

I don't know

when he started investigating me,

nor do I know how far he's gone with it.

This is too passive.

I don't like this feeling at all.

I've actually

let such a formidable enemy

spy on me unchecked for so long.

This is the biggest disgrace of my career as an agent.

Sorry, Mr. Tanaka.

It was my fault for being negligent.

I'll take responsibility for this.

After all,

it was my carelessness.

But you must remember

that mistakes like this

are something you only make once in a lifetime.

I understand.

Thank you, Mr. Tanaka.

Yun Muzhi,

what a pity.

Such beautiful sunlight,

yet you'll never see it again.

Impossible.

I'm quite certain that they didn't discover me.

Viscount

will probably pin this on the NBIS.

You've underestimated the people in the wine house.

What about Takahashi?

Why did he

rush over there so quickly?

Don't you find that strange?

If you had only helped the NBIS

at the train station

without preventing Viscount from meeting them,

then it would have been fine,

and this case today would have been a dead end—

no one would trace it back to us anytime soon.

But you

handed them evidence on a silver platter, rushing to get caught.

You acted on your own,

being so self-righteous,

and tried to stop Viscount from meeting them.

Do you think you succeeded in this?

Well, let me tell you,

Viscount set a trap,

and you walked right into it.

Are you saying

that Viscount started suspecting at the train station

that the person who took down their sniper

wasn't from the NBIS?

He's been undercover in China for all these years

and hasn't been discovered.

Why?

Because he's smart,

he's sharp,

and he doesn't believe in coincidences.

Zhou took down the Japanese sniper

with just one shot.

This is a key point.

Based on this, Viscount could deduce

that there was a third party at the train station.

You've been following him for such a long time,

so you should know his style of operation.

After such an incident happened at the train station,

he should have returned to the Far East Communications Bureau right away

to continue his role as a shareholder,

rather than going on to meet others.

What does this indicate?

It indicates that this was a trap,

and you were the one who walked right into it!

Let me ask you,

do you still remember

the first task I assigned to you?

Yes, I do.

You asked me to collect the body

of a colleague I didn't know.

He had infiltrated the Military Police Command

and was caught while transmitting intelligence.

The Japanese hung his body

at the entrance of the Military Police Command.

You asked me to find a way to steal it back

so he could be properly buried.

How many times have you carried out this task?

How many bodies have you buried?

37 times.

In the past six months,

I've handled 68 bodies in total.

I don't know their names.

When burying them, I couldn't even put up a tombstone.

Dad, I know

why you asked me to carry out such a task.

You wanted to show me

how brutal this war is.

But I'm not afraid.

I've long been prepared to sacrifice my life.

I take pride in fighting for the same cause as them.

I just hope

I can live as a Chinese with dignity.

Everything I've given

is to save our people

and to bring freedom to this country.

Do you understand?

I understand, of course I do.

I know you're prepared to sacrifice at any time.

But sacrifice is not the hardest part.

The hardest part

is watching your comrades

sacrifice right in front of you.

Son,

you've always wanted to know

what secret I've been hiding from you.

Today, let me ask you:

If I place the same secret

on your shoulders,

would you be able to bear it?

No, Cousin.

It's not convenient for you right now.

So many people in the family are depending on you alone.

All you need to do is keep an eye

on which organizations are hiring.

I don't need you to arrange a job for me directly.

Now tell me,

Why did Qu Wenzhi end up in the hands of the Japanese?

Where is he now?

Mr. Cheng.

Cut the crap!

What I want is a solution!

[Zheng He, an agent from the Kuomintang NBIS Shanghai Station]

I think Cousin's suggestion is good.

Qu Wenzhi is a hot potato right now.

Whoever recklessly takes him over will face endless problems.

An officer of Qu Wenzhi's rank,

whether in wartime or peacetime,

is always closely monitored by intelligence agencies.

In this situation,

he was quietly turned

and then orchestrated

a well-planned assassination.

The water here is too deep.

No one knows

what kind of secrets will eventually be uncovered.

Mr. Wen.

What do you need from me?

Hello?

This is Yun Muzhi.

Muzhi,

it's me,

Cheng Huize.

Please speak.

Muzhi,

thank you for what happened at the wine house.

If you hadn't notified me in time

that the person was transferred there,

I might have lost track of him.

I like people who speak plainly.

Also,

I have something important to tell you.

The person at the wine house has disappeared again.

Please

keep an eye out for him.

I'm someone who repays kindness.

As it happens, I have some intelligence on the Germans.

I think Mr. Frank

would be very interested in it.

I'm sorry,

but I'm not interested in this intelligence.

Dad.

Now that Viscount knows he's been exposed,

he'll speed up his actions.

The wine reception tonight won't be peaceful.

Be prepared.

You mean

we'll also be closing the net tonight?

Yes.

Since things are out in the open now,

there's no need to hide anymore.

I'll make the specific action plan,

but there's one task I'll assign to you.

What task?

The person at the wine house has disappeared.

Go and find him.

It was Cheng Huize who asked you to help find him, wasn't it?

You've been exchanging intelligence with him all these years.

Are you the same as him?

Shen,

I've told you that,

before you're ready

to bear those secrets,

please don't pry into things.

Let me continue.

At 10:28 this morning,

Xu Meijia received a phone call.

This is what was said on the call:

Mei,

I've bought the British perfume

you mentioned last time.

Wrong number.

This call was made

from a phone booth

on Xiafei Road.

I wasn't convinced earlier,

but now, after hearing this,

I'm truly convinced.

You even have the exact time

and content of the call.

I guess you didn't just place one informant

around Viscount.

I arrived at the wine house at 9:50 AM.

I spent less than ten minutes entering and exiting.

The person hiding in the wine house

had already disappeared before 10:00.

During this time,

Viscount and Xu Meijia managed

to get rid of No. 76.

By the time I arrived at that place,

they had already returned to the Far East Communications Bureau.

10:28 AM, Xiafei Road,

these are two key pieces of information.

The person should have been escorted

[Xiafei Road]

to a safer location.

Someone promptly reported the situation to Xu Meijia.

That safe location is very close to Xiafei Road,

within walking distance of no more than three minutes.

Your analysis is spot on.

And then?

I thought of a place:

Shanghai Hotel.

So many things happened this morning.

Viscount certainly wouldn't specifically

take the time to meet that person.

But that person is very important.

So Viscount must meet him as soon as possible.

That safe location must be a place

that wouldn't raise any suspicion even if he goes there.

Shanghai Hotel has a mixed crowd.

Hiding someone there

won't easily expose them

and will allow Viscount

to meet that person without raising suspicion.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

If I remember correctly,

there is a phone booth

near the back door of Shanghai Hotel.

That's right.

There are only a few hours left before tonight's wine reception.

Confirm the details quickly

and notify me as soon as possible.

Okay.

[Xiafei Road]

Not bad.

Our bank is holding a wine reception here.

This might affect

the guests here.

How about this?

For guests who check in today and tomorrow,

send a bottle of red wine to their rooms.

Second Young Master, you handle things so generously.

Alright.

Thank you, Second Young Master.

Look,

there are exactly twelve bottles of red wine here.

Do you think it's enough?

If not, I'll have them go buy more.

How about this?

Let me check the check-in list first.

Please wait a moment.

What a coincidence.

Exactly twelve bottles.

Great.

Miss Qi.

Then please arrange for people to deliver the wine.

Certainly, no problem.

Second Young Master said

this wine

can be considered a gift from you.

Is this...

appropriate?

Our Second Young Master doesn't know those guests.

He's just doing you a favor.

Besides, you know that

our Second Young Master

loves making friends.

I understand.

Thank you, Miss Qi.

Second Young Master,

I'll definitely see you as my friend.

Servants.

Yes.

Deliver the wine.

Okay.

Second Young Master,

please sit here for a while.

I've confirmed with Cheng Huize.

His friend, Zhou,

was a security guard during the Seven People's Meeting back then.

[Yang Ziming, a CPC agent, Minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Kuomintang Changsha Government]

Great.

This information is crucial.

It will be very helpful

for our future investigations.

But this Kunwu...

I've been looking for him for five years

and haven't found any leads.

The Kuramoto incident five years ago

revealed Kunwu's whereabouts,

but since then,

he's been completely silent,

as if he never existed.

This Kunwu

has become a constant worry for us.

The Secret Strategic Agent Plan

that the Japanese are carrying out

was concocted by Okamura Ningji.

At every key point,

they placed the elite of the elite.

They are extremely dangerous

and deeply hidden,

especially this mysterious Kunwu.

Indeed.

The more mysterious it is,

the more dangerous it often is.

I've thought it through.

No matter what the cost,

I must uncover Kunwu this time.

What?

Our manager said that

there's a wine reception tonight,

which might disturb the guests.

So, he sent a bottle of red wine to apologize.

Room 502...

Unless someone from Room 502 calls you,

don't come up here,

and don't send anything.

Got it?

Got it, got it.

Let's go.

Now that the Japanese troops are at the gates of Changsha,

a tough battle is inevitable.

The Organization wants me to return to Changsha

to personally carry out some of the key points

from the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth CPC Central Committee.

Among them, two points are the most important:

First,

to develop and strengthen the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

Second,

to continue the cooperation with the Kuomintang in resistance against Japan

and do our utmost to support

the National Revolutionary Army in achieving victory on the front lines.

I've got you covered.

Are you gonna top that?

-No. -Second Young Master.

Four fives.

What's the matter?

Second Young Master, I'm sorry.

There's a guest here

who said he doesn't need it.

Here.

There's a bottle of red wine left.

It's yours.

This...

I really can't accept it.

We're friends.

No need to be polite.

More friends means more paths.

Are you gonna top that?

It's truly my honor

to be friends with you.

Well then, I'll graciously accept it.

Which room is this guest in?

He doesn't know what's good.

This wine is quite expensive.

Indeed it is.

It's the guest in Room 502.

He just checked in this morning.

But I find this guy rather sneaky

and he doesn't seem like a good person.

If he knew what he was getting,

it would be strange.

It's probably for the best that he doesn't know.

You're in luck.

Thank you.

Well, please continue playing.

He checked in at 10:23 AM,

behaving suspiciously.

And he was even alert enough

to refuse a bottle of expensive red wine

offered for free.

The person Yun Hongshen is looking for

is in Room 502.

By the way, Muzhi,

after I leave Shanghai,

you'll need to temporarily cut contact with your family.

As you know,

for an undercover agent of your level,

the Organization won't easily let anyone

know your true identity.

Only under very special circumstances

will someone use a backup code

to contact you.

Half a photo?

Yes.

I see.

I hope that when we meet again,

China will be our own China.

Yes.

I also hope this war ends soon.

Muzhi,

I'm very happy to be fighting side by side

with you.

So am I.

Hello?

Who is it?

Dad, it's me.

I've almost finished preparing on my side.

It should meet your expectations.

By the way, Dad,

I just checked

and found that five invitations were left to be sent out.

Some of these guests

are our acquaintances,

so a phone call from you to explain

would clear it up.

But there are two guests

who should receive the invitations formally.

Alright.

These are trivial matters

that can be handled.

You should watch your own behavior.

I hope all the guests tonight

will have an unforgettable evening.

Okay, Dad.
