Episode 26

Give me the key

Give me the key

I need to use your trunk

Did you have a good time with the money I gave you?

Shouren, here's your share

Weizhang, take it

Thank you, Chief

Congratulations on your promotion

Lieutenant General

Why didn't you attend the ceremony?

I'd be embarrassing myself

You are the ones getting the promotion

I have no reason to be there

Our job responsibilities are different

Many people are displeased with the stationing plan

and army reorganization

Promoting me to Lieutenant General now

only makes people hate me more

You are right about that

Keep an eye open out there

Did Melanie drop by your place last night?

Yes

She said people were trying to abduct her

so she stayed at my place for the night

It's London once more

She counts on you to help her out

Zhao Hengxuan is behind it, right?

I don't have evidence yet

but I think your guess is correct

Don't worry

As a security department

we have an obligation to protect her

I heard you have a written directive

from General He

Take a look

Did anyone else read this?

Chief of Staff Chen Cheng

What's his take on this?

Firstly, the case of silver ingots ship must be closed

and the Ministry of War must clear its name

Secondly, Zhou Fohai should be brought to trial

and the death penalty is a must

A quisling like Zhou

deserves to pay with his life

Is that also coming from the Chief of Staff?

Yes

Keep it in a safe place

When I have taken care of everything according to Chen's orders

you can give it back to me

OK

I have to go now

Goodbye

See you

Melanie will be under Zeng Guangxi's surveillance again

Liang Tong is worried about

Luo Haobin's meeting with Melanie

Zhao Hengxuan is like a homeless dog now

He is obviously up to no good

Liang Tong has to be prepared for

Zhao Hengxuan's next move

But what's going to happen next

is beyond Liang Tong's anticipation

He Yingqin's mansion, Chongqing

Attention!

OK

Mr. Chiang received Hurley's protest

Is Zhao Hengxuan done with this nonsense?

I already told him to leave

He won't cause trouble anymore

We must make sure

Miss Melanie is safe

and find a way to placate the Americans

Please don't worry. I've made arrangements accordingly

Good

Dad! Hi, Uncle Zeng

Hello

You're back

Lunch will be ready soon

You should stay and join us

I guess today is my lucky day, then!

Thank you, Mrs. Zhou

Here

Girl

help your mom set the table

Uncle Zeng and I have some catching up to do

Go

Let's go

We'll be there in a moment

Where is General Zhou Yingkui?

How did you

get someone like him

to sit down and read a book?

It's amazing

He could use a little education

I think he's more of a gangster than a warlord

The guy is such a troublemaker

If the soldiers in the southwest troops are all like him

I shall be ashamed

Right

He should read a book once in a while

The thing with him…

He doesn't get politics

That's exactly the problem I'm trying to fix

Guangxi, keep your eyes open

and see if there's any training project on politics

Sign up for him if there's one

Duly noted

General Zhou is senior and experienced

but improvements won't harm

The war with the Communist Party is inevitable

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun

Did I hear it somewhere before?

It's from the Selected Works of Mao Zedong you gave me

I've been reading it

That statement impressed me

I see

Take a seat

Yes

I guess the book provided quite some insights

right?

Yes, if you put yourselves

in the communists' shoes

Commanders on our side

have insufficient theoretical

and practical knowledge

of the war with the Communist Party

So I'm thinking of founding a training base in Nanjing

We can ask senior Japanese commanders

like Yasuji Okamura

to train our guys

They accumulated abundant experience

while fighting the Eighth Route Army and the New 4th Army

They'll leave, but the experience must stay

It's a little tricky now

as many eyes are on prisoners of war

We must do it in secret

Start by finding a location. Keep it quiet

Yes

Take him with you after the meal

Is it okay to let him stay here

and read a book until the night falls?

Just to make sure he stays put before Zhao Hengxuan leaves Chongqing

in 24 hours

I gave Chen Cheng the job as the Chief of the General Staff

Guess I won't be the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Force

for too long

I'll have more time to enjoy myself

I'll handle it

I'll let him go

when you come

Thank you, sir

One more thing

Get the written directive from Liang Tong

as soon as you can

Chen Cheng set several conditions

The case of silver ingots ship must be closed

to clear the name of the Ministry of War

Zhou Fohai should be brought to trial

Zhou Fohai's case

won't be too much of a problem

The case of silver ingots ship

is the real challenge

I know

Sir

I have an idea if you would like to hear

Speak

Liang Tong's wife is an active leftist

She attends book clubs quite often

The Communist Party's ideas have a huge influence on her

That doesn't sound good

I'm thinking of putting her in custody

to correct her ideas

Is that all you're going to do?

Liang Tong

will beg me to release her

and I can easily obtain the written directive

That way

we can achieve two goals in one move

It's a nasty move

We won't get our hands dirty

We'll show up as conciliators

and solve the problem

Hello

Is it Liang Tong's wife Yang Suya?

Are you free tonight?

Cathay Theater, seven o'clock

We should go home and have dinner first

The promotion ceremony was today

We can celebrate with a candlelight dinner

You mean the promotion to Lieutenant General?

Yes

General Chen announced it

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

General He Yingqin presented me with the medal

Why didn't you tell me last night

that the ceremony was today?

It was meant to be a surprise

OK. I'll forgive you for not telling me

See you tonight

Seven o'clock

Miss Yang, your classes are finished, right?

Yes. I can go home early today

Let's go to the book club

The author of One Month in Yan'an

is invited to join the discussion

Really?

Only a few people will be there

Such a chance doesn't come every day

But I can't go today

I have an appointment tonight

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

It starts at five

We can stop by and take a look

You can leave early anyway

Come in

General Liang, I've got the movie tickets

I'll wait for you downstairs at half past six

It won't be necessary

You and the guys can get off early today

It's OK. I'll drive you there

I told you it was fine

I can go there myself

I see. Please enjoy the date

General Liang

it's time you should have a romantic date with Mrs. Liang

You've been staying in the office every day

We are also stuck here

Don't you feel you're talking too much?

If you don't disappear now

I'll make you do overtime tonight

I'll be gone right away

Waterloo Bridge

Passion matters

How's everything?

The book club members are meeting inside

They are doing a rehearsal

Looks pretty professional. Let's go

Go

Have some rest here

The view from here is great

You can see everything

in the courtyard

and the room opposite

Have some tea

When they begin

to read the manifesto

I'll signal you

so you can storm in and arrest them

You can go now

Come in

Let's go

Shine mine

General Liang

If a man shines his shoes well

he will easily get a wife

You look so handsome. Are you going on a blind date?

Don't mess around

Where's your old partner?

Guo has another task

He just left

Take me to Cathay Theater

Will do

He's coming

Turn on the recorder

Get ready

Today

we are honored to have Mr. Zhao Chaogou, the journalist and author of

One Month in Yan'an

to join us for the discussion

Last June, he visited Yan'an

and produced feature interviews of over 100,000 characters

He writes about Mao Zedong, the Communist Party

and presents the truth of Yan'an

As his readers, we are deeply impressed

Before he arrives

let's talk about The Communist Manifesto we just read

We should've come earlier

It's fine. They just started

The October Revolution in the Soviet Union

is a success of Communism

Cathay Theater

Why are you so happy?

I'm happy for you

You strike me as a serious person

It's not like I get to see your romantic side every day

But don't you think

you should at least get a bouquet

instead of just one rose?

It means she is my one and only love

Brilliant

That's a smart explanation

General Liang

there's some time before the movie begins

Would you like to sit in the car and wait?

It's fine. I've been sitting all day

It's more tiring

OK. I'll stay with you

The Bolsheviks overthrew a capitalist government

through an armed insurrection

and established

the very first socialist country

The members are all there

Yang Suya is in there, too

I saw her

Shall we begin?

Yes

When will the journalist be here?

Soon. At six

I have to go now

I need to get to Cathay Theater by seven

It's not even six yet!

Cathay Theater is a short distance away

It only takes ten minutes to be there

You can make it even if you leave at half past six

Let's talk about

The Communist Manifesto we just read

Please share your thoughts

OK

I think the society and current situation in China

are very similar to those in the Soviet Union

As to the problem

whether Communism will work in our country…

He's here

OK

Sorry to interrupt

The author of One Month in Yan'an is here

The discussion about The Communist Manifesto will continue later

Great! He is here

I can only stay for ten minutes

OK

Let us all rise and recite a section

from the manifesto of the Communist International

to feel the enthusiasm

All rise

Let go of me!

Don't be afraid. General Liang will get you out

What's going on here?

Having fun reciting?

Tie them up

Tie them up

General Liang, you've been waiting for a while

Are you hungry?

Still hot

Thanks, but I'm good

It's late

Why hasn't Mrs. Liang arrived?

How about this?

You can stay here waiting

I'll ask the driver to find her at the school

She is probably not at school right not

You can't arrest her

Her husband is a general

What?

I said her husband is a general

Is your husband a general?

Take her away

Yes

Go! Move!

Leave me alone!

Go

Hurry up

Hurry

Just move

Play it

Yes

Proletarians of all countries!

Proletarians of all countries!

In the struggle against imperialist savagery…

In the struggle against imperialist savagery…

General Liang, it's pretty late

Could something happen?

Mission completed

I see

Minister

Come in

Someone left a letter for you

Shouren, is it here?

The principal said it was here

Mrs. Liang and Miss Fu are close

She might be here

Anyone?

Is anyone in there?

General, I think the house is empty

Should we head back and see if she's there?

No way

She wouldn't go home

How about this?

You should go home

I'll have our guys look around

It's only been a few hours

Maybe she got caught by something

It's not the first time she's been out late

Suya was going to meet me for a movie

She would never stand me up

Something must have happened to her

General Liang

Did you find anything?

General Liang

I've put everyone on the action squad

to look for Mrs. Liang

We should hear something soon

Minister Zeng must have known the situation

What the heck happened?

I was away reading a book

and Mrs. Liang suddenly disappeared?

What happened?

Mr. Zhou

Minister

I went to her school

She left with Fu Manhua

but there is no one at Fu's home

There is no way

a human can somehow vanish

General Liang, we have guys

watching Miss Fu's home

She will go home sooner or later

The worst-case scenario

would be that Zhao Hengxuan

is behind this

What should we do?

Don't fret

If she doesn't show up before midnight

I'll have my guys search the entire city

You should have some rest. I'll see what I can do

I'm going with you

I'll get my guys out there

Minister

Miss Yang's disappearance

might have something to do with Lao Zhang

Do not speak of it again, ever

Yes

Keep a close watch on Liang Tong

Yes

Take care, Minister

I'm gone

I will take a break from this place that gives me nightmares

This box of jewels belongs to Zhou Fohai

I hope you find it helpful

I'm heading to Nanjing

Looking forward to serving the party again

Best regards, Zhao Hengxuan

General Liang, you should go to bed

We won't hear anything today

Are you sure?

Yu Shouren is aware

that the residence belongs to BIS Chongqing Station

When he and Liang Tong

arrived at the residence

he realized who is behind

Yang Suya's disappearance

Zeng Guangxi silenced Yu Shouren

Everything that has happened

gave Yu Shouren shivers

Yang Suya vanished

Liang Tong has a terrible feeling

He suspects that Zhao Hengxuan is behind it

He didn't realize, however

that things are much worse than he expected

The newspaper

was on Mr. Chiang's desk

when the day barely broke

The ink was still wet

I suppose it went directly off the printer

My wife disappeared last night

Zeng Guangxi is having people search for her

but I haven't heard anything yet

I think it's weird

so I called you here so early in the morning

BIS is definitely behind this

You are involved

in a conspicuous case like this

there is no way Zeng Guangxi isn't aware

I knew it would make Zeng Guangxi hate me

Still, it's a despicable move to use my wife

There is more to it

Zeng Guangxi isn't bold enough to do it alone

It's targeted at me

They made it public

to force us to surrender

If it caused you any trouble

I should apologize for my mistake

I have people

collect as many papers as possible

It'll mitigate the influence

But you should know it's premeditated

I'm afraid everyone has already seen it

Are you sure your wife is innocent?

You were there when we were dating

And you blessed

our marriage

Do you think she is guilty?

Of course, I don't

Yang Suya is an honest and educated woman

That was why I believed she could make a great wife of yours

She is artless, but that also makes her credulous

One more thing

I showed He Yingqin's written directive to Zeng Guangxi

I'm afraid He Yingqin is behind it

He gave up fighting for the job as the Chief of the General Staff

He gave the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Force job to Gu Zhutong

He is bitter

Without real authority in hand

the man's definitely bitter

We all know that

He used the written directive

to make Mr. Chiang, Zeng Guangxi

and himself share a common interest

May I approach Commandant for this matter?

Commandant has asked He Yingqin

to take care of it

As relevant parties, we are ordered to stay away

So, we can do nothing but wait

Stay put and see where it goes

I asked the intelligence agents of the Ministry of War

to investigate in secret

Without evidence, no one can help us

Mark, you really don't have to stay with me

I feel so sorry

that you sleep on the couch every day

You are being paranoid

I've been guarding you these days

I'll find another place for you

This place is no longer safe

Well, guess I'll have to listen to you

As long as you are here

I am happy

You are like my guardian angel

You are my angel

Drink the coffee

Ambassador Hurley invited us to breakfast

Wake up. Something came up!

What happened?

I went out to buy a newspaper

Some uniformed soldiers took away all the copies of the Chongqing Daily

What happened next was even more curious

Some people delivered another batch of Chongqing Daily

So, did you get one?

Breaking news

It's a new low!

Put it away

We'll get in trouble

if the soldiers see it

I was wondering

maybe our people were behind it

but I didn't know they could be so nasty!

This morning

someone left several issues of the Daily

out of our door

Liang Tong's wife has been arrested

Unbelievable!

It's going toward General Liang

This case is pointed to General Liang and will definitely be used

for a horrible war inside the military

My gosh

Maybe I made a mistake

supporting a government that can not be united

I've made my report to the State Council

but it was consequently attacked by the opposition

The Democratic Party blamed me in public

This is a disaster

Yes, they blamed me for the foolish support of Chiang Kai-shek

and said I was misleading America's policy

Listen, today I wanted to tell you both

that I have officially handed in my resignation

What?

You're leaving China

I admitted my failure when it was officially approved

Yes

I will leave

I'm sorry

I paid 50 legal tenders

for this newspaper on the black market

The military guys are turning the city upside down to search for it

Some people are bold enough to sell them at this moment

There was a fierce fight

I saw it this morning

Liang Tong's wife was arrested

He is entangled in this storm

The report claims people inside the military have been supporting

a huge anti-government violence group

I smell conspiracy

We acquired reliable intelligence through an internal source

The group was a communist gathering

But the report didn't say anything related to the communists

It's deliberate

so we have no grounds for intervening

We can only wait

I'm worried

if a civil war does break out

the severity of this case might escalate

Fang, Liang Tong is on thin ice now

I issued an urgent notice

to investigate this Communist Party Group

We must protect Liang Tong by all means

You should try every possible way

to get Yang Suya out

and help Liang Tong out

Another thing

Any progress on Melanie's side?

She recovered her memories

She has contacted me for a meeting

That's good news

Arrange the meeting as soon as possible

Report to me after it

I will then report to the superiors

Yes, I'm on it

Where is Yang Suya?

Zhou Yingkui hasn't got anything yet

Liang Tong won't let anything happen to Yang Suya

Should anyone lay a finger on her

Liang Tong will make the person's life like hell

Only currently, all he can do is wait

Nothing but wait

Did you take a good look?

You'd better take in the situation

Just face the reality

If you don't confess your crimes

I will have to force you to talk

by some pretty nasty means

Take a look

at the collection of our torture devices

Any one of them will make you feel death is the easier way out

We have a judicial system!

Of course

but it's still under development

so there are bound to be loopholes

Isn't Chairman Chiang going to base the country

on democracy and the rule of law?

I'm afraid you won't be alive to see that day coming

Captain

Stay strong

The Chief of the General Staff Chen Cheng called

He ordered that we mustn't torture Yang Suya

How did he know she is here?

Attention

From today

every day, one of you will leave this world

The lucky dog today will be

you

or you?

Brave lady, huh?

It'll be you, then

Afraid?

Cut the crap

Communists aren't afraid of death

Yang!
