Episode 1

1933 Shanghai

From now on

every four months

you have to send the latest copy of the Time magazine

to this address

Contact the organization periodically

Your codename is Ghost Child

No matter what codename you used in the past

Luo Haobin, CPC Secret Agent

you will now only be known as Ghost Child

I'm your only handler

If I change my mailing address

I will send the new address to the last sender's address

No matter what happens

I will try to do my best to survive

for the Ghost Child

Liang Tong, CPC Secret Agent

You do the same as well

Our job is to stay hidden and await our orders

Stop all organizational activities

The job of the Ghost Child

is to infiltrate the Kuomintang (KMT)'s core

That's because you came from Huangpu, made military contributions

studied abroad

and possess top military discipline

Most importantly, you're already a Lieutenant-class officer

What should I do next?

Gain admission into the Nanjing Military Academy

Nanjing Military Academy is the cradle for Chiang Kai-shek's generals

It is also the shortcut to KMT's military administration

We're doing this

to prepare for the right action at the right time

Do not contact me deliberately unless there's an emergency

We will only use you at the right time

What is an emergency?

When the interest of our people and country

is under threat

When the survival of our party is under threat

Understood

Do you have any other questions?

I want to know the whereabouts of Emi Nakayama

She's my referral to join the party in Japan

I've not seen her since I left Japan

We were in love

Do you still have her stuff?

I only have her photo

Her only photo

She's gone

She never existed

From now on

she doesn't exist in your life

In the future

we will need to endure being alone

and the endless wait

For our faith

and to protect ourselves

In the darkness

Liang Tong did not feel alone or fazed

Luo Haobin told him

you're not fighting alone

The organization and our comrades will forever be with you

In 1931, Japanese started the 9.18 Incident to occupy Northeast China.

In 1937, Japanese started the 7.7 Incident and waged an invasion.

The Northeast Guerrilla War led by CPC against Japanese aggression initiated the resistance.

The 7.7 Incident started the national resistance against Japanese invasion, which opening up the eastern battlefield of the Anti-Fascist War.

CPC became the pillar of the resistance against Japanese invasion. In February 1945, the U.S.S.R., U.S.A.,

and the U.K. passed the Yalta Agreement. Our story started then.

1945 London

Melanie Secretary of U.S. Embassy in the U.K.

Are you there?

Hey, honey. I'm making breakfast

Can you grab an extra pen and put it in my pack, please?

Good morning, sir

15 minutes ago Hello?

Colonel William Spears, General Staff of British Army Headquarters

I don't have time to eat. I'm going to be late

I'm sorry. I must be going

Tsuji-san, Colonel William is still upstairs

Hisanobu Tsuji, Senior Agent of Imperial Japanese Army General Staff Office

Listen carefully

Don't kill him

Yes, sir

I will always love you

Me, too

Listen

Don't kill him

We must get that briefcase!

Yes, sir!

Go! Go! Go! Hide inside!

Kill him!

Go!

Enough!

Go now!

Where should I go?

Break the window

William! William!

William! Give it to General Alexander

No, we go together!

We go together!

Go now!

William!

Bring me that man's briefcase

Yes, sir

Tsuji-san

Tsuji-san. I couldn't find it

Tsuji-san. There's nothing

Tsuji-san. It wasn't there

Tsuji-san. There's nothing

Tsuji-san. Nothing here

There was a woman in this room

Where did the briefcase go?

That woman ran here without hesitation

There must be a place she wanted to go

Find it

Yes, sir

EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN THE U.K.

EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN THE U.K.

Tsuji-san

EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN THE U.K.

EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN THE U.K.

Stop!

I'm Chinese

The Japanese are trying to kill me

Please protect me

Welcome home

Present

Colonel William risked his life

The thing inside the briefcase

is what we want

That woman won't escape very far

She can only hide here

Additionally, there must be film inside this camera

Let's storm inside now

and get that briefcase

Come with me if you're not afraid

You're an idiot

How long will it take to get inside?

Do you know what's inside?

Once the first shot is fired

the Royal Military Police will rush over

Can you escape then?

It's fine if you die

but what about that briefcase?

We won't have time to bring that briefcase out

Don't be reckless, okay?

Yes, sir

Liang Tong is standing next to the River Thames

Historical conflicts flashed before him

The Long March of the Red Army

The Xi'an Incident

Major General Liang Tong, Inspector of the National Government, CPC Secret Agent

The Second United Front

The resistance against Japanese aggression in China

Liang Tong made outstanding contributions

to the resistance against Japanese aggression on the battlefield

allowing him to stand out among his peers

He was sent to survey the battlefield in Europe

He understood that

this has become more and more aligned with the organization's needs m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 85 0 85

Shi Jihong, Counselor of the National Government Embassy in the U.K.

Five more people had arrived

She was crying and said

the Japanese killed her husband

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78 Her husband is a British Colonel

She said the Japanese were after her as well

She wouldn't say anything else

But she

mentioned your name

and said she wants to meet you

She said she knows you

Do you want to see her?

She said she knows me?

Please come in

Counselor

I just detected

a call from the guest room

to the U.S. Embassy m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

I don't know what was communicated

There was only a telecommunication record

Who was in the guest room?

When the Counselor went to meet you

the lady said she wanted to wash up

So, I went out to arrange it for her

It was only a minute

One minute

She acted really fast

She's a very smart woman

Liu

From now onwards

keep an eye on this Melanie

Do not even look away for a moment

Yes, sir

She must have some secrets on her

Otherwise, the Japanese

would not have pursued her here

or risked their lives to kill a British Colonel

I suspect that

her secret is contained inside that briefcase

That briefcase is too heavy

for a woman on the run

She didn't toss it away

and brought it with her

This is sufficient to prove it

We still need to be careful when dealing with this woman

Think

She's the wife of a military staff of an allied country

And she just made a call to the embassy

of another allied country

If conflicts arise

it will become another diplomatic crisis

So, we must be careful

David Petrie, Chief of the British National Security Department

Go and ask our coastguards

how these cheeky-ass f**ks

manage to set foot in England

Alan, can you take a look? This is Chinese

or some Japanese stuff?

Let me see, sir

Sir, Chinese

I only need to make a call

and the Royal Military Police will come immediately

But are we going to

hand her and the briefcase over just like that?

Please tell me what you think honestly

I believe the Japanese outside

will attack us soon

We should use the Japanese

to force this woman

to hand the briefcase over to us

But have you thought about it?

There are only eight people in this embassy

including those in the kitchen

Most of them have never used a gun

Furthermore, we only have a few guns

I'm clear about it, Mr. Shi

The eight of us must use little ammo

and even our fists

to resist the Japanese for 10 to 15 minutes

This will be a great risk

But do you want to attempt it?

If you don't

we will have to hand the woman and the secret inside the briefcase

to the British authorities

Actually, I'm very interested in the secret as well

This is Officer William's wife

Melanie

She works at the U.S. Embassy

Sir

Chief of Staff Alan will be going to the Soviet Union to attend

the Tri-nation joint conference between America, England,

and the Soviets

He should be leaving right now

with his personal assistant. Officer William

was found dead in the floor of his apartment

All important documents were in his hand

I understand the officer brings his documents back home?

Sir, I found something

These are the technical skills of a spy

How did they know this?

Those Japanese thugs?

Melanie

This girl calling herself Melanie. She disappeared

and left her closet filled with clothing

and a book with a secret chamber

I thought that she was providing intelligence to the Japanese

but perhaps it was her

persuading the officer to bring these documents back home

Where did the window go?

Those who know how to use a gun, prepare to fight

Those who don't

move all the furniture to the windows

Yes, sir

Sir!

Somebody must have climbed down here

and then run away

I guess it was in this direction. Probably that woman

Get the special forces in

Yes, sir!

This will keep you warm

Thank you

These are my shoes

See if they fit

Please keep yourself warm

Thank you

Hi, I'm He Meihui

Meihui

Meihui, I finally found you

Thank goodness you're alive

I've finally met you again

Meihui?

What's wrong?

What's wrong with you, Meihui?

William

William has died

The Japanese killed my husband

William

The Japanese just killed him

Meihui, what are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

Don't you recognize me?

I'm Liang Tong

I'm Liang Tong. Do you recognize me?

I'm Liang Tong, Meihui

You wanted to see me

Do you recognize me?

I don't know you

But I saw your name

on the list of inspector generals

crossing the Rhine River

I know a lot of stories

about how you fought against the Japanese

You're a famous general who fought against the Japanese

I believe in you

Please protect me

When Melanie

appeared in front of Liang Tong

someone deep inside his heart

has appeared

in front of him as well

At that time

Liang Tong was sure they are both the same person

He Meihui

The woman he loved deeply

The woman who disappeared completely

The beloved comrade

Liang Tong thought he had lost forever

She had appeared in front of him again

Melanie, Emi Nakayama, Formerly named He Meihui, CPC Secret Agent

Liang Tong was not mistaken

Melanie was his referral to the party

Her real name is He Meihui, also known as Emi Nakayama

CPC Secret Agent

She had lost her memories because of a gunshot injury

The British are after our trails

We should rush in

and grab that briefcase

Otherwise, all will be lost

Don't be reckless

Wait for my order

Just two more minutes

Yes, sir

This briefcase was left by your husband

Colonel William Spears

The briefcase is a danger to you

Please give it to me

Please trust me

Mr. Shi

The U.S. Embassy has just called

to verify her identity

Melanie

She's a secretary at the U.S. Embassy

Chinese American

Her Chinese name is Ling Yunjian

The U.S. Embassy

will send someone to bring her back

The items inside her briefcase

I believe they are top secrets

belonging to the British Army Headquarters

The Japanese will do anything to get it

It must be regarding Asia

No wonder she holds onto it tightly

and refuses to hand it over

We're prepared

Please take this

You take it

and give me a pistol later

General

seems like the Japanese

are ready to rush in for the case

But so far, they haven't made any moves

I don't understand why

They are waiting for an air raid

The Germans are always on time with their raids

Later, the bombing will cover the sound

of their operations

Mr. Shi

when will the U.S. Embassy arrive?

I believe it will be after the raid

Then

we only need to hold until the raid is over

At that time

the Japanese will run away

They won't let the Royal Military Police catch them

Are you confident in this?

Please trust me

You will need to take care later

Keep an eye on Melanie

We will go and make preparations

General

General

We have too little ammo

and just a few guns

We won't last 2 minutes

That's unacceptable

We can't last long in a frontal attack

We're very familiar with the environment

This is our advantage

We must utilize this as much as possible

Let the enemies in

and use a crossfire

from the back to kill all of them

We must kill them in this room

Understood

Go and make preparations

Yes, sir

A German missile attack is coming

We must take shelter

Come on, please!

Let's go!

It's time

Once the German bombs start exploding

no one will bat an eye at us

This is what I'm waiting for

Let's go!

Bring back that briefcase

The Japanese assault team

attacked the Republic of China Embassy in the U.K.

frantically

That's because they believe

the intelligence in Melanie's hands

will determine the fate of Japan in the war

So, they will do anything

even risk their lives to get it

The Japanese are attacking!

Stay down. Stay down

Ms. Melanie

Please hand me the briefcase

The Japanese only want the briefcase

Give it to me

Don't

Don't

General

General

The door won't hold on much longer

The Japanese are rushing in

Mr. Shi

Hide with Ms. Melanie

Don't come out under any circumstances

Okay

Hurry

Ms. Melanie, give me the briefcase

Fine

Let's hide behind the sofa

Mrs. Spears, the raid has begun

The Japanese will rush in

so please give me the briefcase

William protected it with his life, I won't

hand it over to anyone

Listen to me

This briefcase

must never fall into the Japanese hands

We're trying to protect you

I will only hand it to its rightful owner

Mrs. Spears

Please believe me

You're now in the Chinese Embassy

Hurry, please give me the briefcase

Fine

Let's hide behind the sofa

Hurry

Come

Come

Hurry

Ms. Melanie

Please give me the briefcase

The item inside

must not fall into Japanese hands

We must take it out and destroy it

Listen to me

The Japanese will arrive soon

We must destroy whatever is inside this briefcase

You must believe a gentleman

Melanie, please give it to me

Please give it to me

Please give it

to me

Man!

General Liang, they have rushed inside

Cut it!

Scatter!

Tsuji-san, what should we do?

Withdraw! Withdraw!

Have you ever recalled the stormy sea

I sent you off to the north of the Great Wall

Looking at the tides, only loneliness replied

That day, the beautiful clouds by the riverside

With a thousand layers like rippling water

The place still exists but the people have changed

On that night with a full moon, someone could not sleep

Only the deep night knows who was it

A heart full of regrets, and love hard to succeed

At that moment, the hero couldn't stop the tears

Laid drunk on the battlefield, unable to return

Waiting for the day when the mountains and rivers

had already donned on spring

Far away over the hills, the pouring rain

Not afraid of the longing for home and strengthen resolves

In the cold nights on the eighty thousand li journey

Only afraid of the longing and dreams of you

Becoming a lotus that doesn't wilt

Hoping that the person who left did not forget

To become the fire that lit the way

Letting the sound of tides comfort my sorrow

Letting the sound of tides bring me back home
