Yes

They say people get acquainted by fighting

I'll go and meet him

Salute

Attention!

100 taels of gold in reward

Whoever catches him and delivers him to the troops

will be rewarded 500 taels of gold

This is a promise

And whoever harbours the criminal shares the same crime

Hold your fire, I want him alive

Hold your fire

Surround and search

Sir, they're all surrounded

Wang Man

Ask him to come out

Me?

Go on

Yes

Ding Yi Shan, Commander Nakajima is here

you're surrounded

and can't escape

Throw down your gun and surrender, we can strike a deal

Throw down your gun and surrender

Sir

-Bastard -Yes

-Damn -Yes

-Bastard -Yes

-Damn -Yes

Charge in

Yes

Damn, surround the woods

Yes

Go and search quickly

Yes

Sir, there's a tunnel here

Get him

Why are you here?

We discovered a tunnel, so we...

We discovered a tunnel in the woods as well

Go

Sir

Ding Yi Shan has gone into the woods

Let's surround the woods quickly

No need

This is his trick

He's gone into the city

You've really played a trick on Nakajima

let him grope around in the woods

I don't think he'll be tricked this easily

I've prepared all this for you

these are your identity card and travelling passes

I've registered for you at the gate

Your name this time is Qin Yu Chu

from Bei Ping

You deal in antiques

and have come to collect the goods this time

Are there any more men?

Yes, they're all locals

See you at eight tonight

Who are they?

I don't know them, they were given a secret code

Identify them by pass code

Remember

the first line is

from the accent it sounds like you're from Zhao Jia Gou

The second line is

The Lin ancestral hall is 4 miles from Zhao Jia Gou

Where do we meet?

At the Hui Zhong tavern

Waiter...

Bill please...

Mister

These few days a few Chong Qing people have sneaked in

watch out for them

If you see anything suspicious

let me know at once

Yes

Go

Xiao Fu Zi, I've been observing you these days

and found that you are really too good

Serving here as a waiter

is a waste of your talent

Master, I ... I am fine here

I wish to give you the opportunity for promotion

Master, don't bother, I feel fine here

I'm not misleading you

This is for you

What is this for?

Xiao Fu Zi, these people

are good for nothing

you are so alert

if you detect any anti-Japanese fighters

let me know at once

or arrest them on my behalf

I'll pay you

What do you think?

Thank you for the opportunity

I tell you, this is confidential

don't use this information and bluff people

Yes

Do your job well and

I'll put in a word for you with the Japanese

If you fail, be careful of your life

Understand?

Don't worry

Alright

Sir, take a seat inside please

inside please

Serve the customer

Haven't you been working?

Have a seat...

It's still early, so I've come here

And you?

My friend's not at home yet, I'll go after a drink

Come...let's drink together

Sir, what would you like to eat?

Xiao Fu Zi, bring me some wine

and a plate of peanuts

Alright, some wine and a dish of peanuts

Yes

Waiter, hurry up

Coming

Waiter, is the food ready?

Coming...

Waiter...

Go and take a look

Waiter...

Please, let's talk

Sir

I am not paying for this

there's a fly in the food

Sir, you're mistaken, it's a black bean

What? Do you think I'm blind?

Can't I distinguish between a fly and a black bean?

Please don't be mad

Give me some face, I'm sorry

What's with you?

Nothing, he shouldn't shout at people

What if I shout at you?

Ask the kitchen to prepare the same dish

Yes

Sorry, sir

Have a drink and calm down

We'll deal with the kitchen later

Your tavern bullies

us who are outsiders

We dare not, the waiter is new

Sir, your accent

sounds like you're from Zhao Jia Gou

What? You too are from Zhao Jia Gou?

The Lin ancestral hall is 4 miles from Zhao Jia Gou

At the Hui Zhong tavern

Xiao Fu Zi, come here...

Yes

Are you also from Zhao Jia Gou?

Yes, and you?

I'm also from the Lin ancestral hall

Why didn't you say so sooner?

You didn't ask me

Gentlemen, the boss is waiting for you to play mahjong

at the Cai Fang House

I am Wu San Xian

and have a key shop just up the road

I am Tian Si Hai, and stay at the same place

I've got a blacksmith shop

I am Yu Da Ji

and own the electrical shop

I know the Japanese at the power generator house

I am Ding Yi Shan

This is Qin Yu Chu

Second boss of the antique shop

Mister Ding

There are notices for your arrest all over the city

it wouldn't be wise for you to show yourself

It's an urgent mission, I have to come in

Mister Ding, tell us your mission first

According to their calculations

the Japanese need an elite group from four troops

to attack Chang Sha for the third time at month's end

I need a blue print of the Japanese troops' allocation

Nakajima is the commander of the third troop

he has the blueprint

I have to get it before the twentieth

Today is the eighteenth

I'll get it within two days

I fear it wouldn't be easy to infiltrate his troops

Arrangements have been made

waiting for an insider to contact us

Do you know who it is?

No, do you have any clue?

Would it be Cui Ping San?

It's unlikely. This guy's Hui Zhong Tavern

was set up to spy for the Japanese

Besides, he is an evil man

and doesn't appear to be one of us

Then it's Wang Man?

Get a chance to check if he knows the code

We must be extra careful these few days

I've heard that, to eliminate the rebels the Japanese

recruited a group of special forces from the North

to deal with Mr. Ding

I've heard it's a woman under Jin Bi Hui

Deputy commander Wang has arrived

Miss Wang

Commander Nakajima

Please

This is...

Ji Te Deputy commander

Chief Nagawa, Wang Man Bureau Chief

Mister Cui I am Wang Ling

Miss Wang

Call me deputy commander if you like

or call me Wang Ling, as you wish

Yes...

Send for catering from your shop

to welcome deputy commander

Yes

That's unnecessary

I have no time for socialising

Let's get to work

I've heard Ding Yi Shan has come into the city

I plan to catch him within three days

It isn't that simple, is it?

After three days I have to return to the north

If I don't catch him my trip would be a waste

Sir, let me look at the map of the local area

Commander, what's your plan?

I plan to divide the city into 4 areas

and search them at the same time

Good, let me have a few men

to search the inns

Search the inns?

Ding Yi Shan must be hiding out in some isolated place

Let's check the corners

Right, let's mark our target

and don't alarm him

Yes

He thinks we won't search the inns

so he would deliberately hide there

When do you plan to start?

Right now

You've just arrived

do you want to take a rest first?

No, I came here to do my job

Let's start with your inn

Get your men to guard the place

No one gets out

Yes

Cui Ping San, get the client register

Yes...

Go and search over there

Do you wish to take a rest?

We are searching the rooms now

Go and search over there

Yes

Stand up, all of you

take out your identification papers

Who is Qin Yu Chu?

That's me

You're an antique dealer?

Yes

From where?

Tien Jin

What's the name of your shop?

Ji Gu Zhai

Bullshit

There's no one by your name

in the whole of that shop

I am a runner who collects goods

Search his luggage

Yes

Search

What is this?

Antique

Also a weapon

Help

Gone where?

That way

This is it

Xiao Fu Zi

Do you remember what he looks like ?

Yes

Is he a resident here?

He only just came, and hasn't registered yet

but he said he is from Zhao Jia Gou

Damn, it must be Ding Yi Shan

Go, bring the shoes

Have you caught him?

He escaped

He said he is from Zhao Jia Gou

I know; stop nagging, I'll go after him

Where are you from?

Hubei

Bullshit

From the accent you sound like you're from Zhao Jia Gou

I am...

Right?

Yes. Lin ancestral hall is 4 miles from Zhao Jia Gou

who are these people?

Neighbours in the village

It's not easy for everyone to be in the same place

How much is this dagger worth?

If you like it I'll give it to you

Why? I don't know you

Just a small token

Stop that

When are you here tomorrow? I'll bring the money

I'll wait for you at noon

She's quite smart

She is from Zhao Jia Gou

She's still not here yet

Maybe she got some business to do

You can go after you've finished your meal

There's only tomorrow left

let's think of something else

No, we can't do anything without her

I'll let you know after I contact her

The Deputy commander is here

Upstairs please...

Have a seat upstairs

Sorry you have to pay

Small matter

Mr. Qin, this is the assistant of Commander Nakajima

Mister Xiben

Mr. Qin

The Commander heard that you deal in antiques

and requires help from you

He's asked me to see you with Xiben

What's your request?

Mr. Qin, shall we serve the food?

Yes, please

Where is Xiao Fu Zi?

In room five

Sorry to disturb you...

Come back

Yes

What's the matter?

This morning one of my men found a shoe

in Xiao Fu Zi's room

It exactly matches the one

left on the roof last night

Commander thinks we should get

Xiao Fu Zi in for interrogation

Never expected this chap to be a secret agent

Xiao Fu Zi, run

Grab him

Xiao Fu Zi...it's dangerous

Don't shoot, I want him alive

He will fall

Sorry...to disturb your meal

Sorry...

Take him away

Our commander has received a few items recently

and wants you to have a look

The commander thinks well of me

Are the objects to be brought

here for him to see?

No, he has to go there

He says you could go there

and have a close look at them

Wouldn't it be a tad inconvenient as I'm a civilian?

It's okay, you're a good citizen

Please

I'll inform the commander

What's your instruction regarding Xiao Fu Zi?

Escort him in

Yes

Go

This is Mr. Qin, this is Commander Nakajima

There are a few things I want you to look at

I've heard you're an expert

I dare not bring coals to Newcastle

You're too kind

What do you think of this?

It's true I am in the antiques trade

But compared to you

I am ignorant

If I say anything wrong, please forgive me

You need not explain this

Yes

This vase is made meticulously

it is truly from the Ming dynasty

Like those from the kiln of Xuande and Yongle

they are all rare porcelain antiques

Cultural dept. has also asked me to hunt for Song items

I've got something from the kiln of Cizhou

From the kiln of Cizhou? That's too crude

No, the one from Cizhou is of a unique style

It's said the kiln of Cizhou is in Ci county at Hebei

No, it originated from Peng Cheng in Ci county

Broadly speaking

The kiln of Pacun of Henan,

Gao Yang Shan

and Quhe can all be categorized as belonging to Cizhou

Look at this

This is really Han earthenware

The people at that time

could use the simplest tools

to craft the most intricate patterns

The way we craft now

is taken from the methods two thousand years ago

The Chinese are so stupid today

It's just that the Chinese of yore were too intelligent

This is a priceless item

This broken incense pot?

It's not a broken incense pot

It's the Bronze wine holder from Yin Shiu

What is it for?

For drinking wine

Really? That's not too hygienic

Sir, there are some inscriptions here

Wen Yi wine holder

I can't decipher a word

You're only interested in broken and old stuff

It's so meaningless

Deputy commander is getting impatient

You're truly knowledgeable, what you say is all correct

Do you think they are fakes?

Commander is bound to know if or not they are fakes

The seller wouldn't have the nerve to fool me

I've collected the antiques

to be brought back to the Japan Cultural department

I don't want them to be destroyed

because of the war

You must appreciate our commander's good intentions

I understand

I am too busy

please monitor on my behalf

if you see anything good, keep it

Yes, I'll be pleased to

Don't worry

commander will reward you well

If there's nothing else

I'll take my leave

There's one more thing which

I'll have to give to the Cultural department

Please have a look for me

It would be

my pleasure

Take him to the office

Yes

Commander, if it's about antiques

I'll take my leave

Please

Please

Is he Ding Yi Shan?

I'll torture you if you don't talk, understand?

He is Ding Yi Shan

Commander, I suppose we should detain Qin

We can't arrest people as we like

The Japanese army is supposed to be siding with public

Yes...

I think Qin is really a merchant

Right?

I...

Right...commander's calculations

must be fool-proof

Sorry to keep you waiting

It's okay...this is your masterpiece?

Please comment

There's the mood of Chinese paintings

mixed with Japanese-style paint strokes

you've created a fusion

It's indeed brilliant

You're too kind

The layout is special

it's too advanced for a dilettante like me

It's just a casual hobby

Bring that one out

Yes

Stop

I want to buy a torch light

Good

What else?

Shall I wrap it up for you?

No

The battery is inside

If you're not satisfied

feel free to bring it back

Thanks...

This looks like it's from the Tang dynasty

Sir

Come in

Commander

Commander Wang of Huanan

just sent a photo of Ding Yi Shan

for your perusal

I don't think he is Ding Yi Shan

He was caught in Yue Yang & admitted he was

I believe he is in the city

he wants to steal our military map

Has that kid talked yet?

Almost, we'll beat it out of him sooner or later

Commander, where has this Guan Yin statue come from?

It's my gift for the commander

To look for it

I spent four months altogether

and travelled five hundred miles

spending 300 tales of silver

So long as the commander likes

it's worth it

What do you mean by this?

It's a fake

Look

This is new bronze, shaped in Bei Ping glass factory

You dare to cheat me with it?

How am I to deal with the Cultural department?

Commander, please forgive me

Sir, please don't be angry

I can find a Guan Yin statue

which is really from the Tang dynasty

but it's rather expensive

How expensive?

500 taels of gold

500 taels of gold? What Guan Yin statue is that?

Shut up

Master Cui, it has its value

This statue is not worth a dime

Never mind him

Mr. Qin, when will you deliver it for me?

I'll take care of it right away

Good

Hello

Are you Commander Nakajima?

Yes, who is this?

I am Ding Yi Shan

You want to trace my call?

It's useless

What do you want?

I haven't had the chance to visit you

I'll do that in a couple of days

Welcome...

Was that from Ding Yi Shan?

What? You know him?

That's not what I meant

If he were in the city

I cannot deliver

that Guan Yin statue to you just yet

How come ?

You see, it's an antique from China

If Ding Yi Shan knew I was delivering that to you

would he spare me ?

Fear him not, I'll have someone protect you

That's good then

If there's nothing else I'll take your leave

See Mr. Qin out

Yes, please

Commander, in a few days' time

I'll deliver the statue to you

Thank you

I'll go in first

Salute

Salute

Deputy Commander Wang, you like this doll?

Pardon?

It's beautiful like you, it's yours

No thank you, go and rest

Wait

I'll prepare a welcome dinner for you tonight

Thanks

Miss Wang, do you have a boyfriend?

Yes

Where is he?

Here

Who might he be?

It's you

Sir

What are you doing here?

The commander has asked you over to the torture chamber

What?

That kid has confessed

By your accent it seems you are from Zhao Jia Gou

Commander knows I am from Chang Sha?

Do you notice anything special about this statement?

Depends who's speaking it

On what occasion was this spoken?

Just before I arrested Xiao Fu Zi

Anything else?

He asked me twice but I took no notice

then afterwards I felt strange

What do you think?

Simple, it's their secret code

Maybe something's going on in Zhao Jia Gou

Xiao Fu Zi got to the wrong person

I agree with you totally

Have you got the confession?

No matter how much torture was used, he wouldn't speak

He is obdurate

I don't think we could get anything out of him

Sir, escort him out and shoot him

Yes

Wait

I don't think force would be any help; let me try

Alright, let's see you try

Leave, all of you

Yes

You too

Yes

Xiao Fu Zi, listen to me

Tell the truth and I'll ask the commander to let you go

You've been beaten like this, could you still talk?

Do you still want to use the car?

No, thank you

Let's go

Close the door

Get this in

Yes

All is ready

Just press here

it'll explode in two minutes

Will anything go wrong?

It's the dynamite & fuse I've brought for the time bomb

This is the key to the safe

Here's more if it falls short

Let's do it

Who is it?

Someone from Zhao Jia Gou

Why are you here? If you're seen there'll be trouble

I must come, Nakajima will go to Zhao Jia Gou

at seven thirty tonight to examine the routes

What should we do?

Let's do it after he leaves

You have to hold up Ji Te

Also, Nakajima wants to execute Xiao Fu Zi sooner

When?

Right now

Go...

Commander Nakajima has a few words to speak to everyone

Please pay attention

Hello everyone, China is my second home

that's why I am so passionate about enhancing the

relationship between Japan and china

Unfortunately, many don't know what's good for them

and try to sabotage this plan of mine

I will not let such people escape

Take Ding Yi Shan for instance

I know he is in the city

please cooperate with us and tell us where he is

Or you'll end up like this kid

He is Ding Yi Shan's accomplice

I will execute him in public today

Boss, think of something quickly

Don't move

Or I'll set fire in some place

When panic strikes

they might postpone the execution

then we'll go in and save him

Let me think of something

Stand still

Stand still, this is an order

Bring him here and torture him

Yes

He's a kid, he can't take it

Boss, it's important to save him

let's forget about the map for now

I'll fight them alone

Right

Come back

What? You have a good plan?

Sit down, everyone

Don't fall for Nakajima's trap

Si Hai, get us a set of mahjong

Damn, Xiao Fu Zi is going to die and

you want to play mahjong?

Bastard

Xiao Fu Zi, you're just a kid and know nothing

Look at you now

Ding Yi Shan has deserted you and yet you fend for him

C'mon, tell me where he is

I'll let you go

Go to hell

Speak, where is he?

Where you are, he's there

He'll come for your life, be careful

I'll kill you

My head in return for many of yours

it's a good deal

Yes

Can you really bear to do it?

He is dying for his country

What? Do you have family?

Make your decision

Please save him

Dad...take care, long live our people...

You are too cruel

You are responsible for Xiao Fu Zi's death

How could we account for this to his parents?

I am his family

he was my son

Let's proceed according to plan

This is the blueprint of the headquarters

the military map is in the safe here

Wang Man, Cui Ping San, come with me to Zhao Jia Gou

Yes...

Be careful here

Yes

You said you'll catch Ding Yi Shan in three days

Tomorrow is the third day

I don't think there would be a problem

I have a lead

I hope by the time I return tomorrow morning

we'd have caught him

Welcome, deputy commander

Come... a toast to deputy commander

To deputy commander

What's the matter?

Antique for commander

Wait

Yes

Ten past eight

Mr. Qin, is it the statue?

Yes

Bring it inside

Yes

Come...bring it inside...

Commander is out...go back first

Alright...we'll unpack the stuff and leave

Hurry

Okay, it's ...

Open it

Alright...

Get Chief Nagawa over here

Yes

Ji Te deputy commander, a toast to you

So beautiful

Quick

Sir

Bastard

How far is it to the Fa Hua temple?

About 2 to 3 hours for a round trip

When did Qin say would the delivery be ?

Tomorrow

I guess he'll return today, go back quickly

Go back?

Yes

Telegraph room

Who is it?

What are you doing here?

I want a girl

Is it this one?

Hurry...

Strange, the officer in charge of the attack

should be Annan Weiji

How come it's Bingkou Xiongxin?

Quick...coming

Right, you leave first

Don't bother with me, go

Someone's been in here

Mr. Qin

What's the matter?

Ding Yi Shan

Here...

Here...

Hurry

Over here, over there

You two come here

Come over quickly

Yes

Get on the vehicle

Is the boss still around?

He asked to get the map out first

he has some unfinished business here

What business?

He doubts the authenticity of this map

He instructed me to proceed

as planned if he doesn't return tonight

Bastard, you mess around in my absence

especially you

You spoke about catching Ding Yi Shan in 3 days, where's he?

It's only the second day

Sir

The military map of the Chang Sha plan is gone

Mr. Qin, have you seen anyone come in here?

I saw a few men come in and open commander's cabinet

I was going to shout when he hit me

Commander, I think that Ding Yi Shan must have entered

the place when the antique was delivered

I knew they wouldn't give up the opportunity

Please issue the order to barricade the vicinity

so they can't escape

No, let them take the map to Chang Sha

Should the Chinese army

get this military map...

Stupid, a war isn't just won by guns

we need brains as well

Could the map they've stolen be a fake?

Just a small joke

You are such a genius

Ding Yi Shan has fallen for the trap

We'll know when we catch him

But I suspect you're him

so I intentionally let you bring in the antique

and leave too

So you sent the false information to the Chinese army

and let them be mistaken

In that case

it's all part of your plan?

But I made a minor misjudgment

You're not Ding Yi Shan. If you were

you wouldn't be waiting for me here

Besides, you wouldn't dare

You are so perspicacious

I could have let you go

but you've been used by Ding Yi Shan all this time

and you brought him in, so I'll have to shoot you

I thought of this when I came

you wouldn't let me go back

Naturally, if you don't shoot me

you'll have to pay me 500 taels of gold

This bronze statue is our country's treasure

I hope you could guard it well

Don't panic

Don't move...

Yes

The map, Mr. Qin

Bastard, get lost

Yes

Throw it out

Yes

It's on fire...

Sir, we've looked everywhere

but couldn't find Ding Yi Shan

I don't think he has left the headquarters

He must be hiding in the dormitory

Sir

I saw someone enter deputy commander's room

Surround it

This is it

Come out or I'll shoot

Take him away

Yes

Mister Ding, brilliant...

but you're now our prisoner

Commander, you overrate me

I admire you too

I have already sent out the map

Mister Ding, I think you know

stealing confidential papers

means beheading by the law

I'll gladly prepare for this

I thought someone like you

could team up with me

You want me to surrender?

No, I want your cooperation

I do have conditions though; if you promise

I can act on your behalf

Speak

You must not kill anyone who has surrendered

they could form a troop and serve the Japanese army

Alright

Troops for safety escort along the railroad in Hunan

should come under their control

Alright

I want a formal guarantee

Naturally

You must return the map first

I can do that

Without my orders

the map won't be sent to Chang Sha

I will escort you myself

I hope you trust my sincerity

Isn't the Commander resting yet?

We must leave early tomorrow morning

I heard Ji Te was drunk tonight

and was rude to you

Oh, we were just joking; no big deal

You need this tomorrow?

You think Ding Yi Shan's surrender is really sincere ?

He is full of bull shit

Your plan is to use him to get all his accomplices?

We'll use him to round up all the miscreants in a dragnet

I am taking this just in case

I'll kill him first

Go over there

Bring them over there

Move

Brothers, I am Ding Yi Shan

throw down your weapons and don't move

You go in first

If there's a slightest movement, attack and kill

Shall I go in on your behalf?

I don't think Ding Yi Shan wants to die

You come with me

Let's escort the Commander uphill

Yes

Come here

Go quickly

You go in first

You deal with them

I'll go and inform the Commander

Yes

Commander, we haven't got the map yet

Tell me now

where is the map?

Speak

Surrender the map

or I'll kill you

Don't shoot

The cave is filled with explosives

If you hit it

we're all dead

Mister Ding, I've heard enough of your lies

Commander Nakajima, I can't let you leave here alive

Tell your command post

and let them change the information I've already got

I believe you still have the map with you

You're finished

Commander Nakajima

She is a favourite staff of your Jin Bi Hui

and also a staff of Ding Yi Shan

Wang Ling, take the map to Chang Sha at top speed

Mister Ding, let's leave together

No, there's something else

Mister Nakajima, let me show you something

Blood will beget blood

He is my son

You want to avenge your son?

Also to avenge thousands of Chinese victims

you might have to settle the debt in blood

Wang Ling, leave quickly

Xiao Liu, beware

Xiao Liu

Xiao Liu, can you make it?

I am fighting the Japanese right now

I'll get someone to take you back first

No...Uncle Yu

Xiao Liu...

Drive me to Chang Sha quickly to get reinforcement

Yes
