Episode 5

You know

if I can not open the door

I'll blow your brain off

I know, I know

We love Japanese

You released us from the deterrence of English colonists

Thank you

What is your name?

My name is Tripathi

Tri… What?

Tripathi

Tripathi

Yes

Goodbye

Thank you

Listen

Ask everyone to check over again

We shall never fail

Finish Liang Tong

Use your brains

Liang Tong's sharp-witted

That man…

What?

Who? Liang Tong?

Yeah!

General Liang Tong just left

What?

Really! Not long ago, he left the First Aviation Force Command

for his country by plane

Retreat

Chongqing

VIP Lounge, Baishiyi Airport, Chongqing

What? Do they not allow us to leave?

Yes

They said on the phone that

the Chairman wanted to see us in no time

and asked us to wait here

They'd send Mengxiang to pick us up

who's already on the way

Just wait

Let me take a look at it

So this was the camera that captured that intelligence?

I guess so

There are only

1,700 sets of this type of cameras released in the world

for document filming only

It's quite good

Now, I'm

so interested in Miss Melanie's

real identity

The real intelligence about Yalta

has proved that this woman

has nothing to do with Japanese

Then that's more interesting

See

A U.S. Embassy employee

took such important information

to our embassy

killed some Japanese

when in great danger

and sent you

to a plane heading for Calcutta

It can't be more interesting

This woman is indeed worth investigating

Melanie suffers from amnesia

Do you know that?

Amnesia?

Do you believe that she has amnesia?

Anyway, I don't believe it

That makes sense

You wanna call me paranoid again?

You know what?

I'm really not paranoid this time

Did you know this Melanie before?

How could I possibly know her?

You didn't know her?

Then did you know

a girl who looked just like her?

Beautiful girls are always impressive, huh?

You've always had a better appreciation

of pretty women than I do

I am confident in this field

If we have a chance later

let me improve it for you

What a shameless man

Zeng Guangxi had his eyes on Melanie

That frightened Liang Tong

Liang knew his classmate of Military Academy well

who was shrewd, capable

and low-profile

If Melanie claimed to suffer from amnesia

then she and Emi Nakayama were highly possible the same person

However, Liang wondered

why she hid her identity from him

Liang Tong felt that danger was approaching him

imperceptibly

Hello?

The 15th New Life Collective Wedding of Chongqing

Hello? Can you hear me?

Come here… Come to sign

Yang Suya, Liang Tong's Wife Teacher at Chongqing National No. 3 Primary School

May I have your name, please?

I'm Yang Suya

Yang Suya

Mommy…

Is Dad gonna come back soon?

Yeah, he's coming back

Dad's gonna come back after the Japanese invaders surrender

Yep. You're a good boy, Little Shi

Mommy, look! It's grandpa and grandma!

Come over here, Little Shi, Little Lan

Come here! We're here!

-Grandpa, Grandma! -Come here…

Is it lively and boisterous today?

Yep!

-Are you happy? -Dad

Happy!

Mom

Hello, Suya

You're just in time

The ceremony is about to start

Didn't you meet Little Tian and the others?

Nope

What happened?

Are Little Tian and Xiugu gonna be late?

Little Tian went to pick up his bride early in the morning

Will they be late?

The group wedding won't be delayed for anyone

Yeah…

Then I'm going to look for them

Go have a look

Come on. Come here

Just stay with Grandpa and Grandma, OK?

Dad!

Mr. Zhou

Mr. Zhou!

Dad!

Xiugu!

Are you alright?

I'm fine…

Are you okay?

Mr. Zhou

Xiugu…

Don't move! Everybody, don't move!

You can't seal the door!

How dare you?

-What are you doing? -You can't tick the seal!

Listen!

My dad leads tens of thousands of guild members

Xiugu, Head of Shunfeng Hall, Elder Brothers Society

Even if we go against you, so what?

Here I stamp

and even those by the Sichuan River will tremble

Enough!

Dad

they can't act rampantly in front of our house

Zhou Yingkui, Lieutenant General, Commander of the 78th Group Army in National Revolutionary Army of National Government

We're in the Secondary Capital

which is ruled by the supreme leader

You can't mess up here

Snatch her knife!

Dad!

Why are you standing still? Grab it!

Dad

Come on

be a good girl

Go and finish your wedding

No!

You must attend my wedding

You have to be there

Do as I said

Little Tian, come over here

Let him through

Little Tian, here I entrust Xiugu to you

Rush to Jiaochangkou now

It's still not too late for the wedding

Sir, please rest assured

Just do what I told you, OK?

Good girl

Come on

Be a good girl

Bye

Retreat, everyone

Stop! Stop now!

Dad…

Dad

Dad!

Mr. Zhou!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

What's this all about?

The 15th New Life Collective Wedding of Chongqing

In no case will I believe that Mr. Zhou would surrender

Sichuan people can never lose face like this

Like the Battles of Tai'erzhuang and Changsha

how did Sichuan troops fight those wars?

Everyone knows the answer!

My dad broke through

but was forced to surrender by the encircling troops

My dad didn't…

Mr. Zhou is a capable general

He lost all of his entire army?

Mr. Zhou said the troops were annihilated by the Japanese invaders?

I don't believe it

Tablet of Heaven, Earth, Saints, Elders, Teachers

Did the Zhous all get on board?

They've left for home

I asked them to wait for news at home

and be ready to come back at any time

Xiugu

I think you should just stay here

This is your house, after all

Mr. Zhou

and he have been brothers in Elder Brothers Society for decades

Just make yourself at home

I'll go ask for information tomorrow

I wish Liang Tong could come back soon

Yeah…

If Little Tong came back

he would definitely figure out a way

Mr. Zhou's a benefactor to Little Tong and this family

Xiugu, don't worry

We will never stand by and just watch

Let's eat

Sir, let me have a drink with you

Little Shi, Little Lan, come in and eat

No more playing around

Little Shi, Little Lan! Come down to eat!

What's that?

We've been apart for over a year, and now you don't know how to speak?

You know we haven't met for over a year, huh?

How many times did you call me?

A lot

Why didn't I receive any?

It was always Shi Yang answering

We had a great chat every time

That's a load of crap

What kind of wine is prepared for today?

There's abundant wine

Hu Ziqi's also back

And he's been asking for a great feast of liquor

As he wishes

Nice

After a year of separation

you've also changed your hairstyle

Stop… Let's be serious

He's waiting for you

Hurry up. Take your luggage and go with me

You're the one who should take the luggage and go with us

Well…

Do as he said

Do as he said

I miss you so much, sir

Chen Cheng, General, Minister of War in National Government

Me, too

Well done

I finally see you come back

I'm ready to do something great with you

So do I

Guangxi, it's all thanks to you this time

Don't mention it. It's my pleasure

Minister

let's go find a nice place to talk

OK. Why are you wearing this?

He had no time to get changed after he got off the plane

I've asked the Retinue Office to prepare his clothes

Let's go

How's it? Is the water hot?

I took

a really nice bath

You know what?

I felt so uncomfortable

after this flight

Nowhere is comfier than home

Yeah

Where's Tong?

He's having a private conversation with Minister Chen

Later, the Commandant will see you in person

I haven't seen Tong for a long time

He changed a lot

Don't you think so?

Is that so?

I also haven't met him for over a year

I feel so hungry after a bath

Is there anything to eat?

I've prepared it for you in advance

I know you're picky about food

I made it for you in person

I'm impressed by the Retinue Office

Good boy

Just a minute

The information about Normandy Landings

that you sent from the UK

has been read by everyone

We really appreciate

advanced thinking of the war

The situation of this amphibious operations plan

is similar to the one in Yingkou, Northeast China

This time, we transferred you back from the UK

because our country's in need of talents

Liang Tong, I have a question for you

How do you think the Japanese government

will respond to the Yalta Secret Treaty?

For a rapid retreat from the Chinese battlefield

Japan has to choose between fight and armistice

It'll be a decisive battle

They'll use a landslide victory

to force us to get out of the war

Or they'll propose a swift truce

and return our territory

in exchange for our armistice

I will never consider negotiating a truce as a soldier

Sir

the Japanese have always wanted to fight a decisive battle with us

And their target is Chongqing for sure

They wanna destroy our homefront

Only in this way

can they achieve their goal

Exactly!

Yasuji Okamura's Operation Gyokusai

was passed by their staff this morning

His purpose is quite simple

which is to occupy Chongqing

True

Yasuji Okamura's unimaginably stubborn

Given the international situation

and our strength

we can organize a big battle

and fight Yasuji Okamura to the end

We stand a chance of winning a complete victory

From then on, the war against Japan

can move on to a full-scale strategic counter-offensive

And we can also prove to the world

that we Chinese can solve our problems on our own

Sir, I request to lead the troops to fight

the last battle against the Japanese

You don't need to fight this battle

You have another task

Come to and sit

The status quo is quite complicated

After the Japanese get out of China

the one who gets Northeast China will be the winner

Come what may

we have to ensure that our National Army

lands in Northeast China first

and controls it

You've studied the Normandy landings

So Mr. Chiang decided

to let you design

the post-war National Army garrison plan

This is a huge project

You're under loads of pressure

Before that

you should thoroughly investigate

the national situation

Indeed, a detailed investigation is necessary

This is a secret mission

We will proclaim that

you're the Deputy Director of Armaments Department

in the Ministry of War

Your investigation will be easier in this way

Liang Tong didn't expect Chen Cheng to give me a new assignment

The deployment plan of KMT National Army after the war

was really important information for Yan'an

He wanted to know the party's instruction

before taking any action

Who else is in this group?

Zeng Guangxi's in charge of intelligence handling

There are only the three of us for now

Just tell me if you need anyone else

We can transfer him or her

Don't worry, sir

I will surely accomplish the mission

Good

Shi Yang, come over here

General Liang, nice to meet you again

You're making fun of me, huh?

In Calcutta, you left before we had a chance

to talk

Madam Soong and I had been talking about you all the way

as well as the topic of Yalta

Everyone's talking about it now

Mr. Chiang and Madam Soong are waiting for you

Just go

Follow me, please

Maybe being summoned to meet the top leader of Kuomintang

was a dream of many KMT officers

but not Liang Tong

What he expected

was not any personal honor

but to shoulder the responsibility of solving Chinese people's trouble

The firm belief in his heart

was for the goal of national unification, national strength

and people's well-being pursued by the Chinese Communist Party

He already told himself that

this was the only choice

Go wait for me at the second intersection ahead

Minister, Zhao is waiting for you inside

Minister, please

Hello

Minister

What the hell are you doing?

Why did you choose such a weird place to meet me?

Zhao Hengxuan Chief of Chongqing Station, Bureau of Investigation and Statistics

I just built this site

to handle some secret persons

and clandestine things

You do have lots of strange ideas

Come on

Sit down please, Minister

What are you up to?

There's another purpose

You're back now

So I'm here to welcome you back by this meal

I've had my meal

You may leave out the meal

But please have a drink

This is the liquor from your hometown, Northeast China

I got it for you specifically

Give it a try

How's it?

It's indeed the genuine grain liquor

And try some dishes

What's the matter? Just go ahead

We investigated Miss Melanie's background

She has a Chinese name, Ling Yunjian

In 1933

she went to study in the U.S.

In the first place, she went to learn the language in San Francisco

And later, she enrolled in the University of California, Berkeley

And soon

she left and entered Yale Law School

There

she joined a group called Skull and Bones

In this group

she made friends with quite a lot of figures with political backgrounds

In 1942

she was then assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Britain

But her history before 1933

is blank

We only know she was badly injured

and lost her memory

But one thing is certain

She left for America from Shanghai

I was also in Shanghai at that time

Well

I need you to get all the files about Shanghai during those years

Check them carefully

And I hope you can find some relevant clues

OK, I'll send people to do it right away

Besides, remember

you're the one working on this case

and I know nothing about it

Got it?

The case about Melanie involves a man

Liang Tong

I see

I'm investigating it privately

and it has nothing to do with my superior

I let you work on this case

at your Chongqing Station

just because you can do whatever you want

without caring about too much

What's more, do it in a flexible and secret way

Got it

Minister

this is a toast to you

Commander Kimura

I failed

I failed to stop Liang Tong

and the intelligence was also leaked

I have no complaint even if you ask me to kill myself

But before that

I have one last request

Please

What's it?

I've been thinking about it

Now, we can only negotiate a truce with China

Do you know what you're talking about?

Is there no other way out?

To save Japan

this is the only way to go

Can't we attack Chongqing with full force

to force China to surrender?

No way

If it was feasible

we would have achieved this goal

much more easily before 1941

China's current military force is not what it used to be

And our occupied areas

are full of our enemy's forces

If we send part of the main force to fight in Chongqing

wars will definitely start behind us again

In this case, our Japanese army will run out of armed forces for sure

Even if we use every last one of our men

we still can't defeat China in this war

Please believe in me, Commander

Masanobu Tsuji

I will trust you

Thank you so much!

Yangon Wharf, Myanmar

Your Excellency

Thank you so much

for the case this time

Masanobu Tsuji

That China and Japan hold a conference for a truce

is one of your strategies, right?

If we can really realize it

our Empire will get rid of the current suffering

However

I wonder whether those old fogies in the base camp

will support your idea

This is the most important problem

Commander

please think about Manchuria

Then

we'll be full of confidence

Back then, we had a dream of

the Yamato nation moving to the mainland

so we took actions

It's true

that a few colonels

accomplished the great cause

Today

I have your support, Commander Kimura

For the future of the Great Japanese Empire

we should strive for more people's recognition

Our hands can change the future of Japan

However

Liang Tong…

We gotta kill that man who's in our way

I must kill him

by all means

Yalta Agreement

has been exposed

Liang Tong doesn't matter anymore

Your younger brother was killed by him

Indeed

That guy murdered my younger brother

and brought shame on me

This is my personal grudge

Nevertheless

according to my informant's report

that man

is trying to stop

our truce with the Chongqing government

Commander Kimura

This is related to the survival of the Japanese Empire

If he learns our intention

for the truce talk

it'll be super dangerous

That man must be silenced

No, to this end

we have no choice but to kill him

Only when we make that man disappear

can he not pose any threat to the Great Japanese Empire

Then…

I've already sent someone to purge him

I will work hard together with you

Go ahead

Go to complete this great adventure

Good luck

Go to finish it

Salute

Go, you can do it…

I win! Let's go

Dad!

Let's go back home

As a boy, you can't shed tears easily

Got it?

Halt

Greetings, sir

Dad, you're so awesome

Quick march

Dad is back!

Dad is back!

Suya

Is it Tong back?

My son!

-Mom. -It's really you back at home!

Let me take a look

Darling, Tong is back!

Tong

Xiugu

Little Lan, dad is back

Come on, say hello to Dad

Say it

Little Lan, call me

Say dad

Dad

Dad

You're back

Yeah

What happened to your leg?

Nothing serious

I walked a little slow when the Japanese bombed

The Japanese planes

were suddenly all over the sky

and they were buzzing…

Stand up…

I didn't protect you well

Just stand up

I'm safe and sound. It's okay

You're in military uniform

serving the country

You don't have to kneel before me

Help him up

-Stand up, my son. -Just get up

Come on

Dad, as a soldier

I failed in my duty to defend my country

and put you through this

It's my fault

Sit down first

Come on

Take it slow

At the time of national crisis

you could serve the country

and made lots of war achievements

You've brought honor to our Liang Family

You're really a great descendant of our ancestors

And I'm also glad

to have you as my son

However, Tong

I wanna ask you a favor

Dad, what's with the formality?

Please go ahead and ask

Use your rank

achievements and your future

to bail Mr. Zhou out

Mr. Liang

Mr. Liang, Tong just came back

Let's eat first

What happened to Mr. Zhou?

As I said, let's have lunch first

Mrs. Liang, let's go prepare the food

OK, let's eat

-Let's have lunch. -Let's eat first

OK, let's eat first

This is the gun

Powerful and stable

it can kill a man in one shot

Keep this target in mind

The address is on the back

I trust you

Although the idea of fighting a big battle in Western Hunan

was agreed by Chiang Kai-shek

Liang Tong was assigned

to prepare for the Civil War

Given Chiang Kai-shek's reaction

to Yasuji Okamura's Operation Gyokusai

Liang Tong learned that Chiang

didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese

So he decided to propel the Battle of West Hunan

join the battle, and go back to the kernel of military decision-making

By his war achievements, he hoped

to reach the highest level of military decision-making

Meanwhile, he also hoped the organization

could receive his message as soon as possible

From now on

you should send the latest American magazine, Time

every four months

and stay in touch with the organization on a regular basis

Melanie and Liang Tong were so close, but they still missed each other

They didn't see each other

Having received Hurley's instruction

Melanie flew to Chongqing in no time

and focused on the work of the Embassy

She expected to meet Liang Tong again as soon as possible

The intimacy that Liang Tong brought Melanie

was so real

but also so illusory

Guo Weizhang Chongqing Station Agent of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics

Miss, do you need anything else?

Nope

Thanks

-Fly! -Fly!

I wanna try it, too!

Stop it

Get down to do your homework

Little Lan

Fly! Fly!

Noodles are ready

Here you are

I want noodles!

You already had dinner

So did Dad

Dad hasn't eaten the noodles made by Auntie for a long time

You can't eat them

Alright…

Let your dad eat noodles

Go do your homework

Let's go…

Go eat the noodles, or they'll stick together

These noodles just look so good

Take it slow. They're hot, so be careful

Just looking at these noodles

makes me feel that I'm home

Delicious!

Liang Tian, do you want some noodles?

No, thanks. I've had supper

Brother, come to sit

Then I'll leave you two here alone to chat

What?

You wanna have a drink so late at night?

I'm delighted today

Have a drink with me

Just one shot

Right

I just received two sets of military uniform

They sent them to me

Go try on them, and see if you fit in

They're for me?

Cheers

Welcome home

Go try them on now

OK, then I'll go put them on

Take this away. I've drunk enough

OK

Tong, this time at home

spend more time accompanying Suya

She's suffered a lot in these years

Wang, you're going back now?

Yeah…

Fang, why are you here so late?

Well, I was busy today

You're here, too!

You can only catch big fish at night

Indeed

Ghost Child has reached Chongqing

Fang, the Man in Charge of Chongqing CPC Secret Branch

Emi Nakayama

Luo Haobin, CPC Secret Agent

Emi Nakayama

is He Meihui

Emi Nakayama

Emi Nakayama is the name she uses in Japan

Isn't He Meihui dead?

It was confirmed by Ghost Child

Ghost Child left a question mark

There must be something wrong with the last meeting

between Ghost Child and He Meihui

He Meihui was trained in the Special Operations Division

Back then, when Gu Shunzhang betrayed the party

we suffered great losses

He Meihui knew Gu Shunzhang's tricks so well

She had been staying in Shanghai

to cover the evacuation of comrades of Central Committee

Her work was super-duper dangerous

Gu Shunzhang was hunting her

Didn't you ever evacuate her?

We did plan to evacuate her to the Soviet Union

She should be one of the last group

But I made a mistake

He Meihui introduced Ghost Child's to the Party

and they were also a couple of lovers

I became soft-hearted

When Ghost Child came back from Japan

I arranged for them to meet one last time

Just that meeting

went wrong

and Gu Shunzhang seized the chance

Later when we prepared to rescue He Meihui

she disappeared

We thought

she was dead

If He Meihui's still alive

then she's been out of contact

with the organization for over ten years

We know little about her current situation

But I will send people to investigate right away

Ghost Child is of the greatest importance to us now

He's been striving for more than ten years

to achieve such a key position

This matters a lot to us

To ensure the safety of Liang Tong

and let him play his unique role

the Central Committee has asked another key figure

to assist and help him

You must keep him safe and alive

I need to get in touch with him

You should build a secure spot for contact

I'm gonna do it right now

Son, you must be tired

You can stop the massage now

Mom, I'm not tired

Just take a rest. You may stop now

I'm gonna sleep

You're sleepy?

OK. Time to sleep

Come on, sleep early

Come on

Good night

Don't go

Sleep here

OK

I will sleep here with you, Mom
