Original subtitles

We'll split up

yu with chuliang

Ian, with me

why are we splitting up?

Why didn't you tell us before?

Follow orders

this way, if one of us gets caught

we won't rat out the others

say a quick goodbye

we're still far from harbin

Sorry

I didn't think we'd be separated

whoever makes it

searches for our children

Can you still smell the blood?

Ready to talk now?

Yes

I'll talk

You're scared, mr xie

how many came?

You know them all?

Four

I don't know them

from?

Ussr

why harbin?

They say

there's a secret operation on the 18th

what secret operation?

I don't know

it's called

utrennya

what 'nya'?

Ut...

Utrennya

they put us

in charge of coordination

that's all I know

and I didn't dare ask

Are you hunting at tiger head?

Collecting hides at sujia village

zhang?

I'm feng

we were sent to meet you

we'll take the train to harbin

there will be many traps on the way

they're strict with searches

put guns, compasses,

anything suspicious

into this sack

someone will collect it

Thank you

feng

got a smoke?

When you get to harbin

can you get me a Colt?

A revolver?

American-made?

Hard to find

ask xia

xia has connections

we don't need him

I have my ways

You still have a gun on you?

Chuliang told me

to always be prepared

where is it?

On my body

what's wrong?

They are spies

don't look

Put it in my mitten

give it to me

don't move!

Hands up

What's wrong?

Tie him up

Feng

you've got it wrong

what?

Zheng

you're really tying me up

what are you doing?

Gently

Toss me the mitten

Try again

hurry

Come out with your hands up

It's good you screamed

it gave me the chance

I did it on purpose

how did you know they were spies?

Xia, the guy I mentioned

doesn't exist

how did they know our codes?

We have a traitor

high up in the ranks

we must tell chuliang and yu now

Tell me about their leader

zhang xianchen

was a news reporter

of the four

he is the most educated

Two people coming

seems to be a man and a woman

is it zhang?

How would I know?

I've never seen their pictures

send the signal

Keep quiet

don't ask questions

they were trained in the ussr

they're top-level

I'm sure unit one has made contact

don't worry

Let's put

everything that can blow our covers

and our weapons here

the organization will handle them

From now on, stay close

work hard

you will be rewarded

thank you

section chief

we found feng and zheng's bodies

where?

Zone 5203

Team one's location is unknown

we are searching the area now

isn't feng experienced?

How did he get made?

The codes

are correct

the codes should be correct

team two has made contact

all is well

from what I know

neither team has radios

you mean

team one cannot contact team two?

Yes

correct

section chief

shall we tighten security at the train stations?

No

Relax them

even looser than before

let them all get on the train

use team two to draw out team one

"Traitors! Contacts are spies”

Stop

stop

can't you stand in line?

Get in line

do you speak Chinese?

Drunkard

Get your tickets ready

ticket

ticket

Yours?

I'm just checking tickets

out of the way

your papers

Come with me

why?

Who are you?

Special task force

why me?

Cut the crap

standard check

you look suspicious

Go

That girl just now

is our comrade

The girl the secret agent just took away

we need to rescue her

is she with team one?

What did she tell you?

Nothing

we pretended to be strangers

and her partner?

I didn't see him

not on the train?

No

Mudanjiang station is next

prepare to alight

mudanjiang station is next

prepare to alight

we must determine

why she was taken

get off

What's wrong?

We'll take the next train

this train is unsafe

and the comrade?

She was taken by an agent

Tell you what

you go ahead

I'll find a way

no

Then we'll all be exposed

let's go

we'll take the next train

Hand over everything in your belt

do you understand?

Hurry

Help!

What will chuliang and yu do?

They're surrounded by spies

she should have seen the message

they will find a way

we can't stay together

Where was the coded message written?

Here

what did it say?

It said

traitors!

Contacts are spies

how did you change it?

I changed it

to say

all normal

see you 18th harbin

no one gets off here

we're going to hengdaohezi

have your tickets checked

we're going to hengdaohezi

have your tickets checked

give me your ticket

wait here

Looks quicker over there

stay in line here

Come with me

who are you?

Come when I tell you and shut up

let's go

come

Hurry

your papers

yours

Tickets

you're going to hengdaohezi?

Yes

hengdaohezi is fine

we're checking for those going to harbin

You may go

thank you

this way

tell them up front

that I've checked you already

thank you

You're going to harbin?

Hengdaoheazi

take them away

what?

Why?

My father is head of security

it's a misunderstanding

Go

Stop crowding! Back up

Open up! Anyone there?

Open up!

Ian should be safe, right?

We haven't heard otherwise

so she should be fine

perhaps they are in harbin already

Jin

this isn't the way to the modern

the investigation team is staying there

it's full of agents

way too unsafe

where are you putting us up?

An old mansion

belonging to mr Kasper's cousin

he lives overseas

the house is falling apart

I've been there

wouldn't all of us

going at once attract attention?

That house is so spooky

people avoid it

even ghosts won't haunt it

Come on in

meng

is here to coordinate our work

zhang jie

food and accommodations

spartan, but definitely safe

women comrades stay in the back house

The stove back here

doesn't work as well

but with three of us in one bed

we should be fine

How is your leg?

It's fine, just a sprain

what is operation utrennya?

You know about beiyinhe?

The Japanese secret killing grounds?

They say no one comes out alive

last Autumn

there was a prison break there

one month later

the Japanese bombed it

what do you think they're hiding there

to pay such a price to keep it secret?

Only one escapee survived

wang ziyang

our mission is to get him over the border

to expose the Japanese crime internationally

what happens now that we have a traitor?

Emergency protocol

can you use it?

Yes

I've had training

write

What do we do next?

Nothing

we wait

understood

operation utrennya

for this operation

we trained seven months

you're classmates?

We met in training

does that make us classmates?

He's a star pupil at oriental university

but I'm not well-educated

not as cultured as he

who trained you?

Soviet military instructors

what were you trained in?

Airborne, marksmanship, hand-to-hand

and Russian

you speak Russian?

What does that mean?

Proletarians of the world, unite

what?

That's too difficult

when I first arrived

I didn't even know the alphabet

until I finished reading

the communist manifesto

that quote was taken

from the manifesto

come

proletarians of the world, unite

hear, hear

proletarians of the world, unite

come

cheers

We're on them 24 hours a day

they have no chance to communicate

nor contact team one

won't they get suspicious

with you coming and going?

They're worried about team one

and asked us to take turns

looking for any sign of them

I think we're fine

stay in as much as possible

yes, sir

enter

Chief, I'll be off then

hurry back to the house

I've bought the book

it's identical to the telegram operator's

the same edition

This is carried by team two

it's definitely the code book for utrennya

this is how they communicate

can you decipher it?

Definitely not

it was encoded by the Russians

and used only by the highest leaders

These are our instructions from above

remember it

Have you read it all?

Yes

can you write it out from memory?

That is my special skill

that's why they sent me here

what an archaic way to communicate

when the organization is badly damaged

the most archaic methods

are the safest

The code book is with chuliang

how can we decipher it?

We should be able to find it in harbin

I'll go to the book shop in the morning

you stay indoors

I'll have dinner ready for you

braised pork ribs

be more alert

Come and go often

beware of enemy traps

if something is wrong

get out immediately

and

don't actively seek out anyone

just wait for the communication signal

memorize the code from the organization

that is our only clue to find wang ziyang

You're still up

I can't sleep

I wonder how chuliang is doing

think of him as though he were dead

How can you say that?

How about yu?

Do you see those low houses?

Yu and I used to live there

with our two children

5 years ago, soon after we went to the ussr

their foster parents were killed by the Japanese

they were last seen begging at modern hotel

by now

our daughter should be 8

and our son should be 6

Do you know what "utrennya" means?

It is the Russian word for "dawn"

yes

dawn

everything will be fine when the sun rises

What do you want?

What is your name?

I don't have a name

do you have a birthmark on your belly?

Let me go

These little bastards

swarm around here all day

up to no good

Looking for someone?

That boy

how long has he been here?

Years

does he have a sister named fen?

She looks about two years older?

That I don't know

We need him alive

no one may kill him

Be smart, zhang

Who are you meeting on the 18th?

Time and place?

What do you think about this book?

I'm sure that's how they communicate

Where did he want to go?

All right, give me the key

He hasn't talked yet?

He's incontinent shall we continue?

Forget it

he seems tough to break

try the latest imported psychedelics

see if they work

yes, sir

I'll arrange that

Do you have cigarettes?

Yes

let's go for a smoke

Zhou

who turned on us?

Xie zirong

How are yu and chuliang?

All right

they're preparing

There's no escape, is there?

Change clothes

wear the ID tag

take the gun

hold me hostage

after we charge out

shoot af me

anywhere, just

don't kill me

We can do it

I won't

I'm worthless trash now

I can't complete operation utrennya

might as well reuse the trash

to keep one of us alive

Zhou

right now

you're worth more alive than anyone else

don't argue

you know I'm right

Tell me

what is operation utrennya?

Wang has escaped from hell

escort him across the border

but we don't know where he is

find Ian

she can decipher your orders

What now?

Get in the white car

Anything else?

Can you help

yu and the others escape?

I'll try my best

anything else?

A small favor

among the beggars at modern hotel

are yu's and my children

That looks like my car

close the doors

Take him alive

Zhang

wake up

zhang

wake up

zhang

Zhang

you made it out!

The comrades have been waiting for you

who helped you escape?

We must thank him properly

Where is Ian?

You must execute the plan together

complete operation utrennya

Ian

Ian

how will she contact you?

Find Ian

Asia

Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays

first and last

How do you think he opened the handcuffs?

It must be an inside job

that's what you think?

There's no other explanation

he used Jin's car

shall we arrest Jin now?

I believe

he got into that car

by chance

Jin has nothing to do with this

if he did

it would be too stupid of him

let's not do anything

about that now

keep a tight surveillance on Asia cinema

yes, sir

Welcome, section head zhou

where is the medicine I wanted?

I haven't had time to find it

you still have a headache?

Well

try this anacin

section head zhou

I found some aspirin

thank you

Yu is ill

What did she eat last night?

I don't know

food poisoning?

She'll need a few days

Here

here

You took it?

You suspect them?

They are spies

are you sure?

The code zhang wrote on the train

must have been changed

I know him too well

he wouldn't take an unnecessary risk

there is a traitor

what shall we do now?

When I leave the hospital

we must escape

Have you read aesop's fables?

Have you read aesop's fables?

I've only read the fox and the hyena

do you know why the fox refused it?

No

Why won't you say the contact code?

Because the fox didn't know its gender

I'm zhou yi

a secret agent operating

from inside the special task force

xie zirong has turned

but he doesn't know about me

I decided on my own

to risk approaching my liaison

to attain your contact code

why did you expose yourself?

Zhang has been captured

and Ian?

She is safe for now

but zhang

has been injected with psychedelics

while unconscious

he may have revealed

ways to find Ian

traitor

he was not

I was there

listen

operation utrennya

will be completed by other comrades

keep delaying the enemy

don't make any rash moves

listen to my arrangements

I will try to free you

Why should we trust you?

Because you have two children

begging outside modern hotel

How do I find Ian?

It's Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, right?

So why are we here now?

I'll go take a look

I'll go now

if I don't match you

I'll catch hell from

section chief gao

You've taken a look?

Yes

did you find anything?

No

Really?

Really

Did you see that?

Yes

did you see who did it?

I am a communist

If I were a communist

you would never have seen

what I had just done

We can only catch communists

by thinking like them

and unlike you

only watching during

Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays

section chief gao cares about details

shall I tell him about this?

See why you've never been promoted?

Coffee is on you

fine

What's wrong?

It won't start?

I'll give you a ride

no, thanks

it's too cold

it will start after a few tries

come on

come

All right

even after all that, your car is still in good shape

Today's 1:30 show

three seats together

near the front

Thank you

Jin and zhang jie are not here

remember these two cups

don't get them mixed up

all right

Today is the 18th

finally the wait is over

can you reveal a little more now?

No comment

then we can only talk about food

red sausage from omsk with red wine,

beet soup and black bread

not easy to get these days

do you often eat western food?

Yes

but I prefer Chinese food

do you drink coffee?

We drink coffee

I feel very dizzy

I'm going to take a nap

I feel dizzy, too

I'll walk you back

Why is he down, too?

I think he mixed up the cups

he's always like that

alcohol distracts him from everything

Chuliang

chuliang

Tell them the operation starts tonight

get a car

drive along Balkan street

to number 25

the Romanian embassy

when you get to the door

stop the car

have the others

wait outside

two of you enter

the guard

will ask for an invitation

tell him

I am a friend of the ambassador's wife'

then

remove your left glove

they will let you in

Tonight is

the ambassador's wife's birthday party

there will be many guests

as long as you are in

no one will ask who you are

after you enter

walk through the banquet hall

and exit directly via the back door

a black sedan will be parked there

the key will be in the ignition

everything you need will be in the car

I will try to tell yu this plan

Who found this?

I found it on him myself

it's a good thing you suggested we check

you all slept together night after night and didn't notice?

Meng is not to blame

it was me who shared a bed with him

so, what do you think?

We've been made

we should abort tonight's operation

and detain them

is there any other explanation?

Of course

there is one other possibility

that he was just being extra cautious

and that we haven't been made

how much longer till they wake up?

One hour, at most

put back the gun

the plan remains

we move tonight

yes, sir

Disable the firing pin

before putting it back

don't tell anyone

yes, sir

keep watching them

let's see what he needs a gun for

Meng

do you have a light?

Zhou told you I mixed up the cups?

Yes

you did mix them up

We leave in half an hour

there are so many of us

will we stand out too much?

With so many spies in harbin

we'll be safer together

keep an empty seat in the car

we may need it on our way back

then you

and I

stay and wait for orders

yes

Didn't I say wait for orders

orders from above

Shall we keep the empty seat?

No need

Where to?

Balkan Avenue

where on Balkan Avenue?

You'll know when we get there

Stop

Here?

Yes

wait here

chuliang and I will get out

keep the engine running

Wait

The ambassador is anti-communist

it could be a trap

the contact is inside

we have our plan

I'll go with you

if the contact sees it is not who he expects

he will abort the operation

that's better than falling into his trap

you are right

why don't we abort?

Let's call it off

wait

I'm just worried for your safety

why don't we do this

sister yu

you go in alone

and we'll wait for you outside

all right then

here I go

Good evening, madam

your invitation, please?

The ambassador's wife is my friend

I left the house in a rush

and forgot the invitation

your name, please?

I am wang yu

from the idota association

Hello, sir

your invitation, please

I'm with the lady who just entered

pardon me

what is your name, please?

Chuliang

I'll park the car

I'll have a look?

Go

Yes, sir

Do you know how to drive?

Get out

I want them alive

Let's split up

Go

Split up

you go that way

remember

I need him alive

yes

Come out

come out

Put down your gun

put it down

Damn

I was too late

He's dead?

He took poison

didn't get to him in time

and the woman?

Subsection chief zhou's sure shot

saved Jin

because he...

I saw

and the gun?

Was it shot?

Yes

the enemy fired without hesitation

if you hadn't disabled the firing pin

zhou would be dead

the men saw it, too

I think zhou is clean

is that so?

He's dead

we couldn't save him

Jin

gao said to stay here a few days

This operation failed

because they had help

So then

are you arresting me?

Why are you so nervous?

You take my gun

and ask me why I'm nervous?

I will ask again

have I been arrested?

Answer me first

who do you think helped them?

From the embassy?

I had the guard investigated

he's Latvian

with a diplomatic passport

I don't mean him

then who?

Besides operation utrennya

xie provided other important intelligence

a communist special agent has

infiltrated our task force

who?

All we know is, it's a man

stopping operation utrennya was only a part

the more important part is

to use this operation

to find the mole

you don't think Jin is a suspect?

What's so suspicious

about a dead man?

Zhang used his car to break out

is it really a coincidence?

Yes

these things often happen

You've seen this movie poster?

Who made this Mark?

I did

why?

To remind Jin

to pay attention to details

like you always taught us

that's not what Jin said

what did he say?

He wouldn't lie

we've worked together so many years

what did he say?

Why did you choose the 20th?

I just made that Mark at random

is it by coincidence?

Or is there a special significance?

I don't understand what you mean

don't you?

Then you will sit here until the 20th

All up

get up

all up

how do we find Ian?

Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. First and last

choose a time

make a tick Mark

what is the safety measure?

Four days later from that time

is when she will show up

remember

four days later

I found this in Jin's car

Jin?

I'll give you a ride

We're letting you go

It is my job to suspect people

and my responsibility as well

forgive me

this weekend I'll treat you to

a meal at modern hotel

I don't like western food

don't be so petty

Go home, get some rest

Wait

This gun will not jam

I must say

section chief

you saved my life

Jin

Jin

Jin

the higher ups want to see you

there was an urgent mission

they couldn't find you

at this critical time

where are you meeting?

Jin

What do you think?

Jin definitely out-ranks zhang

can his own people hurt him so badly?

Gotta make it look real

comes with the territory

you've caught a high-level communist spy

who'd been in your ranks for years

the result of stopping operation utrennya

can you report it this way?

Brilliant, section chief

Ready

load

Aim

Comrade wang

we part ways here

everything has been arranged

you'll be safe up to the border

take care

thank you

Take care, han

Brother zhou

our mission is done

please tell me

how zhang and chuliang died

I've told you often

they fought bravely

and saved the final bullet for themselves

they weren't arrested

no

I was there

you were?

Yes

But I couldn't help

When we landed

chuliang apologized to me

but I'm the one who should apologize

I didn't even say goodbye

Our final meeting was

a distant glance on the train

do you know what "utrennya" means?

The Russian word for 'dawn'

zhang's last words to me were

everything will be fine when the sun rises

everything will be fine when the sun rises

will we

get to see the sun rise?

Where is the pill?

Here

give it to me

I want you to live

to see the sun rise

For Jin's family

with my condolences

yes, sir

Section chief

operation utrennya's file is closed

do we still hunt the mole?

Let it go for now

in time he will expose himself

Your mother
