Original subtitles

Good morning, sir. You're the

only one who dared to my garden wearing

clogs. I'm sorry.

The Prime Minister would like her word

with you.

I'm Yoshiko. Pleased to meet you,

Excellency. Sorry to bother you.

What's the purpose of the Kokorokai?It's

to bring sunshine beyond the Kokorokai

River. Good. I'm in need of

your assistance in bringing

sunshine beyond the Kokorokai River.

Though both Mukden and Chanchunhave

fallen into our hands. We're still not

safe in the northeast. There's a

population of 30 million.

Too many for our army to control unless

we have Fuyi. If we could have Fuyi as

the nominal ruler in Mukden, we'd have no

more fear of revolution.

I understand. Thank you.

I'm the daughter of Prince Shu, a

Manchurian princess. I'd be happy

to work for the Empire. Hmm

If we'd Fuyi on the throne, we'd

gain control of the entire northeast.

You're to go to Tien Shin and contact

Fuyi and bring him back to Muktan

within a fortnight. As soon as I

get there. Five days will be enough. You

shouldn't be overconfident, Yoshiko.

You mustn't forget. I'm a native of

Peking. When I go to China,

I'm joining my own kind. If

you live on the shore, you are ignorant

of how a fish breathes in the water.

If the army gets Fu Yi before you, then

all of Manchuria will be under their

control. However, if I'm to

take Fu Yi to Mukden, then control of

Manchuria rests in our hands.

Master, please think again. Let me go on

this mission. I, Yoshiko, the

21st daughter of Prince Shu,

vow that within 10 days, I will

bring back Fuyi to claim the throne.

If I should fail, I will commit suicide

by Harikiri in this rose garden.

What are you playing at?

Everyone knows that I am Yoshiko of the

Kokorukai.

Yoshiko, you have gone too far. No,

Idido. It's you who go too far. Hmm

It's not going to be as easy as you

think. Fuyi is always watched

by both the government and revolutionary

forces. Do you think you can sneak him

out without them knowing?Hmm

I'm confident. The mission will be a

complete success.

You want to go to Tin Sin, do you?

Don't you realize our army is also in

close contact with Fu Yi?I know that.

The commander-in-chief has sent his chief

agent to Tin Sin, but he's a fellow spy,

Kenji Doibara. He is cold-blooded.

He won't be nearly as reasonable as I

have been. That is enough!

Why not take a look?

What are you gonna do now?Are you going

to kill me?Just you wait before your

wound has recovered. I will already have

fuyi and mukden.

My name is Ho Jin. How are you, Mr. Shiko?

Do you know me?You're the famous male

impersonator who doesn't know you.

A letter from our leader.

I've already got a cable.

Now here is a map of the garden. Perhaps

soon you can see it yourself.

This photo is His Majesty.

This Chen Pao Shu.

This Cheng Shao Shu.

This is Cheng Shetan.

And the emperor's mother, Wen Shu.

Well now, you seem to know all of them

already.

And here is another photo.

The palace eunuch Li Lingying.

Anyone wanting to see the king goes

through him first. Also, only he is aware

I am the daughter of Prince Shu, the

princess Xinhuan. Right. I'll find

out how you can meet him. It's November

the first today. In ten days from now, we

must have the king away from here.

Tomorrow, I'll take a look at the Qing

garden myself.

Mr. Yoshida. Mr. Yoshida. So the king has

sent you out to get money. Of course.

He once has to sell these antiques for

him. These are some of his favorite

antiques. Hey, careful, careful.

Really. You tell him to ask me for

money. I can help.

And listen. Do me a favor. Any old

razors. I'll buy them from you. Oh, of

course, of course. Don't worry. If I see

some, I'll let you know immediately. All

right, come along now. Come along.

Uh, you're useless. Can't you even carry

these properly?Here is the

news. Since September the 18th and the

victory at Mukta, the whole area has been

harassed by a brilliant saboteur. On

October 3rd, he burned down the police

station. On the 9th, exploded the

arsenal. On the 15th, killed the chairman

of the East Asia Association. On the

22nd, assassinated the chief of Japanese

intelligence, General Yoto. After each

incident, he left behind a sprig of plum

blossom as a trademark. All residents are

warned to be on the lookout. You must be

tired. It's all good now. You can go

ahead and... Contact the police

immediately. There is a substantial

reward offered.

How'd it go today?We took a lot of

photos. It was just like you said,

closely guarded. If the king doesn't want

to come, then we can't make him. We can't

take him out against his will with all

those guards. You asked me to find out

about Li Dinyin. I have discovered that

every day he goes to the same tea house.

He will be there at 7:00 tomorrow having

his breakfast. If you want to talk to

him, then go there. At seven o'clock.

Right. Seven o'clock tomorrow.

You go and tell him that I'm here. And

that if he's willing, I'll see him the

day after.

Oh, ohh Mr. Tom! Please, come inside.

Come

on. I'll be here later.

Over here.

I'm going now. Come on. You keep

playing. You can't leave here just yet.

Come on. Oh,

plan.

Hey, my friend, I see him. Come on

now. Come on, Mr. Hojin. Let's

see.

Mr. Hojin, watch the man. Hey,

hey, hey

Hey, Mr. Hojin. Mr. Hojin.

The Plum Bandit.

HuhHow could that happen?

Shortly after 1:00 this morning, the

general manager of the Japanese

restaurant on Sunshine Road was

assassinated while he was playing cards

at a local gambling house. His

assassin is believed to be the Plum

Bandit.

Major, the captain of the investigation

unit is here. we're here to investigate

why he was assassinated it's very

simple he was assassinated

because someone knew he was contacting Li

Lingying and wanted to give us a warning

it would seem the enemy knows our business

Miss Yushiko, since he's been killed,

could you take over for a few days?When

your orders come from Tokyo, we will know

what action we are meant to take.

This fellow came and he wanted. Oh, good

evening, Sir.

Well, good evening. Hello, Sir.

Good evening.

Hey. You there. Hey, sweetie, come

over here. No, come over here. I said

come over here. This way, lady.

Come over here.

Damn it, I was talking to her. Come back

here.

The boss is coming. Hey, come back here.

Stand in line. You two get back there.

That's all right. Get back. Attention.

The one in the hat is the chief agent of

the army. Dory Barra. That's him.

You take care of him.

You are most welcome, Master. Welcome.

This is Lieutenant Yoshida from

headquarters. Lieutenant Yoshida,

how are you?I haven't seen you

before. I just arrived.

I am most honored to meet you.

My name's Mariko Ashoka.

Mr. Jojin was murdered, so I'm looking

after things for a while. It's a very

long time since we had anyone from Tokyo

visit us.

Thank you very much. We want to talk in

private. You will leave the room till I

call. Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet

you.

Lokaroka is in luck. You have such a

lovely spy.

Mister?Yes, ma'am.

Does the chief come here often?Oh,

not really. He's been here just once this

month.

There's a gentleman from Japan who wants

to see you upstairs.

What are you doing here?I have been

ordered to come here and see you, and

also to remind you.

Today's the fourth day of your mission,

four days closer to when you do Harakiri.

Don't you worry. I'll see to

everything.

Hojin's assassination has put

Toybara on the alert. I

can deal with him.

Have you two ever met before?

We haven't. But I believe that

he's heard of my name, though he's not

met me personally.

Don't be so certain.

He's very intelligent. You do well

not to treat a fox like a rabbit.

At least. He's observed formalities.

Ha! Your adopted father observed all the

formalities as well.

But he still raped you when you were

just sixteen.

What's up with you now?Yoshiko, I love

you. Yoshiko.

Yoshiko! Give me a chance.

What if I refuse you?How can you

refuse me?You need me to help, you don't

you?Yoshiko! Yoshiko! Huh

Yes!

I would much rather commit Harukiri.

Then submit to your odious charms.

Have you read the paper?Well, have you?

Today's times, the front page lead

says that the reason you have come to

Jensen is to persuade His Majesty for ye

to leave with you for the Northeast. No.

And set him up as king to use the Chinese

to control the Chinese

population. That it'll also serve to

confuse the League of Nations. What's

going on here?It wouldn't

surprise me if the Plum Bandit's behind

that story. I'm gonna have to put this

paper out of business. It's in the

Chinese sector. I'll send men to burn it

down. I'm sure he'll do the job. I'll

leave it to you. I just won't fail you.

What's that?Who are you?

Stop it! Stop it! I'm Tiger

Ho! And I am Tiger Hunter.

Oh, wait. I have no quarrel with you.

Who's gonna burn down the Times paper?Ohh

Nobody is.

You see these three?That'll happen to

anyone who tries it. You get it?

Yes. So watch it.

Understand?Yes. Don't

worry. Anything you say.

Anything you say.

Chop high!

Pa. Great. You come to the Qing garden.

Pa, I got a stomach ache.

Ohh These are hard times. The king has no

money left, so he is forced to sell off

his antiques. I want you to come with

me and learn all about the antique trade.

Oh, it hurts. My stomach hurts. Ohh

You're right, you slept good for nothing.

Get him a ticket and send him on the

train back to Wuxi to stay there.

Oh, my stomach hurts me so-- oh. And

don't you care anything for Choi Feng?

She's still waiting. But have you

contacted her?If you do not like her,

then go ahead and tell her face to face

so that she can be free to get married to

someone else.

You know, you're not the only eligible

bachelor in this world. Ohh

Come on.

hmm I'd like to thank you most

sincerely.

Whenever I go on a visit to the

Qing garden, I will carry

your message to the emperor.

And if he wants to meet you,

Then I'll arrange it for you.

You can leave it to me. But do

you think he is that interested in being

restored to the throne?He was very

interested. Over the

years it's been put to him

by General Chang and Chung Ching Chong

the Japanese and Russians. They've

all talked about it with him.

Dined him, bind him. Spent

lots of money, but nothing ever

came of it. I

think if the offer's genuine,

he really would like to have the throne

restored in Mogden. At

least, I'm sure he'll listen.

Do what I advise. The Japanese cabinet

is very serious. They want him now.

As long as the king is willing, that is.

Enough talking. Time for action.

Will you go today to the Qing garden and

ask the king?

This check is drawn on a Japanese bank.

You may buy yourself a summer resort.

I must admit the Japanese

are most thoughtful

and polite.

Oh, and Prince Shu, your father, was

always so loyal to the emperor and

country, though the king was young then.

I'm pretty sure he remembers

Prince Shu. And you,

Princess, when he sits on his

new throne, you should get him to build a

statue in your father's armour.

It would be such a fitting

tribute.

The jug?Sir?Get some fresh

fruit ready. We are leaving for the

Ching Garden. Yes,

sir.

Waiter, can I use the phone?

What's that?Lee is going to murder the

Emperor of bombs in his

fruit basket. Hey, who is he

speaking?Hey, hey

God damn it, he's all up. Good

morning, Sir. Hold it.

Search them. We're the Japanese police.

What are you looking for?Come off it.

There's a bomb amongst the fruit. A bomb?

Ridiculous. All we've got here are some

melons for the Emperor. Hold it up.

All right, let's have a look.

Nonsense. Nonsense. I am on my way to see

the Emperor. How dare you say I'm

carrying a bomb?I've never heard of

anything so ridiculous. This is complete

madness. It's madness, I tell you.

Hey. Hasn't my father come out yet?He'll

be out shortly. Get away from here. It

could be dangerous. There's a bomb. A

bomb?What's that?Quickly, throw it away!

My father, he's inside there. I'm afraid

he might get hurt. Hey! Ohh Hey

Ow!

A bomb.

Oh, my back. A bomb?Yeah, you

better want it. What?I don't want it

here. No, you take

it. Ohh

I don't understand. Well, sir.

You take it. It would seem given I have

to go with that. I don't want it. You

take it. Tell

the truth. But I tell

you, I have been framed. The Nationalists

must have done it. You were taking this

basket into the Qing garden, were you

not?You've only recently left your own

house. How did the Nationalists

do it then?Are they invisible?

They couldn't possibly have planned the

bomb. Unless

this has all been planned by Yoshiko.

Huh

Now that's possible. She doesn't

want Fuyi to leave here.

Instead, she wants him assassinated.

HuhAre you serious?

She must have put this bomb in your

basket, intending you to take it with you

into the garden. It's set to go

off. When you're inside, you

and the emperor would have been killed.

Why should she want to do that?Consider.

The king is staying in the Japanese

sector. He's safe here.

Our soldiers give him protection.

If the Japanese cabinet wanted the king

to set up his throne in Mukden, they need

merely notify us.

Why should they send a mere woman out

here to fetch him?What would she do

against the nationalist army?She would be

quite defenseless. She had no intention

of getting him to leave here. Uh, yeah,

right. She has deceived me.

He

hasn't come here yet. He is an old

man. Perhaps he can no longer walk so

quickly.

Excuse me, may I come in, Miss Mariko

Asoka?I am also called that.

That you prefer to be called Miss

Yoshiko. Brother,

welcome.

You wouldn't be waiting to see Lee.

Lee is a friend of my father. Since I was

in town, I thought it proper I greet him.

HmmI'm sorry to say he misunderstood your

request. He was worried that your real

intention was to kill the king.

Why think that?

At noon yesterday, Lee visited our

headquarters. and asked us to protect the

Emperor. He said Miss

Yoshiko had offered him a

substantial bribe to have the

Emperor killed.

Since Miss Yoshiko is a respected member

of our government and employed by our

intelligence, I did not think that could

be possible. Thank you.

Therefore, I thought I had better visit

you myself. I appreciate it.

hmm Since our military

victory and the conquest of Makden,

the Chinese nationalists have focused

their attention on Tientsin.

It's the wish of the high command that

you stay here quietly, but it is

stressed you must remain quiet.

If not, and you make trouble, then you

will be expelled back to Japan.

If we were now back in Japan. I would

offer to pour you a drink.

I have to reply. I'd like that very much.

You're welcome. Goodbye.

Please give my regards to the commander.

I will.

Oh, Mr. Zico, there's a customer here

who'd like to see you. All right, sit

down. Have a drink. Hey, cheers.

It's a pleasure to meet you. Hey,

here's the girl I was telling you about.

It's Mariko Asoka. She's pretty.

Just like a Japanese picture. How to

consider it. I know she was here.

My name's Tom. You can call me that too.

Women of my main interest. I like them

very much. But are the women interested

in you?Or in your antiques, they're worth

much more money. Is Mr. Tong an antique

collector?While in Japan, I

understood that many collectors come to

Tin Sin to buy antiques. Uh,

why has it become such a famous antique

center?Hey, you're quite right.

One reason is because of Emperor Fu Yi.

He brought many antiques with him when he

came here from the imperial

collection. They were accumulated over

many years. 100,000

different items. Hey, when he's short of

a little cash, he just tells my father to

go out and sell them for him.

And I used to go along with my father on

these selling trips. And that's how I

became interested in antiques. Is the

king interested?He isn't.

Not at all. He doesn't know one end

of an antique from another. Since he

arrived here, he has become quite

fashionable. Likes movies,

cigarettes, hunting, driving,

sightseeing. Well, that's where I come in

to help out. And like

swimming too. How many

rooms do you want for tonight?No rooms.

I can't stay here. Early

tomorrow, I must take the king to the

Dragon Cave. He has many servants.

Why must you go?AhThey say there's

a female ghost there. The king would like

to catch her, to show that he is brave. Eh

No one else dares to go, except for me.

Young master has gone out. Now you've

come to stay. You must tell him not to

misbehave so much. He only makes his

father mad. Your young

master's not a fool. I'm sure he knows

that. He's a good sword, but he keeps

bad company. They're a bad influence on

him. Come on, he's in the garden.

We better go and see him. Right.

Master! Master!

Here we are. Ah, Xiaopei.

Uncle, hello. How are you?

Xiaopei was just going to see you in

Wuxi, but instead you come to us.

My parents want me to stay here and do my

studies. I'll be here for a few years.

Uh, good. You've come to the right place.

If you want to study, I will ask Shao Pai

to look after you. Thank you, Uncle.

You're very kind. Don't be so formal.

You're part of the family now. You're

with us.

Ha!

Well, now. Before you commit

Haragkiri, you should eat this

food. It is really very tasty.

I need your help. Oh.

You sure you need my help?I can't

swim among the fish as well as you can.

Forget about me, just think of Kokorukai.

I'm just thinking about you committing

Haragkiri.

Do you think I'm attractive in this

kimono?Yes, you

are.

Come on.

I wanna know what I'm expected to do for

this. Tomorrow, we are going to the

Dragon Cave to see Fuyi.

With luck, he will be on his own. But the

chances are, he'll have AIDS. I need

your help so I can kid--

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Get out! Momoko.

Get tickets. We're going back to Japan.

Yes. Go

now.

Come on.

Majesty! Majesty! Your

Majesty, allow me to present myself.

I'm the daughter of Prince Xu, Princess

Xinhuan.

Xinhuan?

Prince Xu. I remember him.

Didn't he die in Japan?Even

when he was dying, he wanted to help you

to reclaim your throne. His

loyalty moves me deeply.

Please get her. Thank you, Your Majesty.

My lord! My lord!

Hey, there are a hundred passages in this

cave. How do we know which way the

Emperor has gone?Perhaps he'll be caught

by the ghost.

Your Majesty, may I present you

A letter from the Prime Minister of

Japan. Please, will you read it?

Huh

My Lord! My Lord!

Where is he?I don't know.

Your Majesty, may I present you.

A letter from the Prime Minister of

Japan. Please, will you read it?

Where is he?I don't know.

Manchuria. What nation is this

Manchuria?It is an independent

nation, and you will become their new

ruler. Oh, I

mean, is it a Republic or a

monarchy?Will they want me

when you are there?They will want you.

They need a king.

I don't know. I am in a difficult

position. I am

watched constantly by nationalist

agents. And what's more,

my retinue is over 300.

I can't even move unless somebody's

with me. Listen, Your Majesty,

now. Now is a good opportunity.

You must leave here now with me. Ah,

my lord, my lord, come with me now.

Oh, my lord. My lord!

My lord! Hey!

Push that! After him!

Get

it! Stop

it!

Hey!

Prince Shu didn't know what he was doing.

With such a lovely daughter. Why didn't

you come here before?You do it

harder. Do it harder.

If you were to come with me now, I would

serve you for the rest of my life. Good.

Umm GoodPerfect.

Why have you taken the emperor?The king?

Follow me.

Not in here, my lord.

My lord. No,

not now. No, not.

Who are you?I'm just in time.

How'd you know we were here?I've known

all along. I know all about you.

You called the Plum Bandit?

Yes, that's me.

You've killed a lot of Japanese. That's

all it'll be getting. I'm going to

kill some of the top Japanese soon,

such as Doibra and Miss Yoshiko. My lord!

My lord! My lord!

Forward! Forward!

You better go to the palace. Later,

it will get too dark and you'll get lost.

Can I take her with me?If she doesn't

take you away. My lord!

My lord!

The king's here! His majesty is here!

Ohh He's over there, come on!

Better not take off all your clothes

here. You'll catch your death of cold.

My Lord!

My Lord! Shinwa. My Lord,

I'm at the Shigashima Inn.

Hey! My

Lord! What happened?

Nothing.

It was nothing.

Just a dream. My

lord!

My lord!

My lord. Shop high. Huh

Did you see anything?Yeah, I saw a big

black bird. It was flying, flying high.

Wonderful!

How else could I see the empty?

Nonetheless, much blood has been spilled.

You think I don't know what you've been

doing?Master always told me,

and now, I have to admit that he was

right. Despite all my precautions, you

still find out everything.

You've underestimated their security.

If it was as easy as you had thought to

take the Emperor, we'd have had him out

of here months ago. It would have been no

problem for my organization.

Why have you come, to help me or

laugh at me?No, you might say to warn

you. If I'd known you were up to these

tricks,

I would have placed you under arrest for

disturbing the peace.

Have you been in contact with the Emperor?

Since you met the Emperor in the cave.

Apparently he's been captivated by you.

He won't tell anyone what's happening.

But then, who else?Could have known

about it.

Tong Xiaopai.

It must be him. He was there at the

same time.

Hello. We'll put it on the back

page then. Hello there. How's it going?

Mm-hmmEditor, headline

story. Oh, what's that?Miss Yoshiko's had

a bit of trouble. She almost seduced the

Emperor, but I saved him just in time.

Very good. You're always resourceful.

Nothing's ever beyond you. Yeah.

Easy now. This Miss Yoshiko is no dumb

girl. She has completely got the Emperor

under her spell. If I had arrived just

two minutes later, it would have been a

different story altogether.

The government sent an agent. Oh, who's

that?The bluebird is flying around the

plum Boston. A poem?No, it's a code.

Oh. Tell him to come here right now.

We know very well Yoshiko's already taken

action. Don't they realize it's an

emergency?Yoshida's been asked

to go to the Qing garden as an advisor,

but I know he's really discussing plans

with Fuyi to leave here. Umm Just suppose

some. steal Yoshida's briefcase.

We could open it up and find out what

plans he does have for Fuyi. Right.

RightHey, I know Yoshida is very

keen on antiques. You leave him to me.

Mr. Yoshida, you

finish your work for the day?I have.

Oh, I've got some antiques for you. I'm

sure you'll be interested. Would you like

to come and see them?

ah

Nasty. What are you looking for?I--

I'm looking for a camera. But how could a

camera be here?It is here, because

I've just put it here. Then

someone else must have spit it it away.

That's strange.

HuhBlood. Master, you're

wounded.

Chabay.

Chabay.

Oh, young master, his wounded. Help,

quick.

What the hell's going on?I've just been

attacked by some birds in the garden.

You Chinese have a saying. If you play

with fire, you're bound to be hurt. I

don't think that Mr. Tom's the Plum

Bandit. Because I hurt him. He

couldn't escape from my knife. And the

Plum Bandit's an expert. He would never

have let that happen. Can you be so sure?

Brother, no matter what our personal

differences, we still fight for the same

country, right?Of course.

We should be like comrades in arms.

And since our course is identical, to

help Fuyi escape from here

and be the new ruler of Manchuria,

we shouldn't be working against each

other any longer. Let us both

decide from now on to cooperate. If

not, perhaps that neither of us will take

Fuyi to Manchuria.

I couldn't agree with you more. Let's

work together as a team. And here's

hoping our teamwork leads to even better

things.

Ohh You're wonderful.

When you were hurt, I noticed Mr. Yoshida

examining an antique. I found your bag

out in the garden and thought you'd lost

it. I also found this camera

inside it.

I figure you're the plum bandit. You're

nothing better than a thief. Have you

heard of the poem?The

bluebird is flying all around

the plum blossom. You're the special

government agent?

You seem to be surprised. I've been

especially trained at Wuxi.

I assure you I'm more than capable.

I see from this paper that they intend to

take Fuyi away on November the 20th

at 7 at night to

Xiaotong Station. Right. Today's

the 18th. We have two more days.

I think headquarters would like us to act

immediately. They'll try to take

Fuyi out now. We'll have to stop them by

force. But our troops are not allowed in

the Japanese sector.

Also?We have no reason for stopping Fuyi

leaving town. It's in the agreement that

the emperor has full freedom of movement.

Though we can rely on public opinion to

prevent him from becoming a Japanese

puppet. Right. Then we'll publish it.

I reckon your documents

were photographed by Tang Xiaopai.

The guy is sure a fast operator.

Yoshiko says he's not the plum bandit,

but she is wrong. He allowed himself to

be hurt by her, so she would no

longer suspect him. Anyhow,

they fell for a trap. What they

photographed was false material.

You sent for me, sir. Yes, get your men

ready and some troops and burn Ninkai

University, the headquarters of the

anti-Japanese. Yes.

We'll burn down the university to

create confusion. While their

attention's distracted, we'll take Fuyi

away from here.

I'd like to point out that the university

studentsHave military

training.

I'm glad you show such concern for my

plan. I'm

cooperating. Oh,

then why should you?Let's

just say that I've become rather fond of

you. Oh.

If the Emperor knew we were together,

wouldn't he be jealous?Of course.

He's a very jealous man. Oh.

Hold it!

This way.

Hey!

Hey

You know him. I think that you should.

huh

No use denying it. I checked you out

thoroughly. He is Mongolian, a Mongolian

prince. Can't you, Tsabu?You

were once married to the man. Martyr.

Pig! Can't you, Chabu?

Martyr. Martyr.

What else is he doing here?

For me.

He loves you?At least,

he's been looking for me.

For two years.

What will you do about him?I will

inform him. That our marriage is over. Go

home. And what if he refuses to listen?

Despite your words.

Really?

Now he will listen.

The Mongolians, heavy.

It is my opinion. The

Japanese are not going to take Fuyi

away to the station.

Also, the area around the station is not

good for defense. I think

they're baiting a trap for us. If we do

go there, I'm sure they will ambush us.

And surround us. The trouble at the

university these past two days is just to

distract our attention. So we still none

the wiser as to what they're planning.

And... My

car!

The Emperor asked me to give you this.

Thank you very much. Go back and tell the

Emperor. It will all be arranged. He has

nothing to worry about.

He's finally fallen into my hands.

He says that he's missing me terribly,

so he'll come tonight. at 10 o'clock to

see me. Tell them to get my room

ready. We're gonna use

this opportunity to get away?Hmm

See everything's fixed. Yes.

Momoko. You'd better

be on your guard. They'll follow you.

Don't you worry.

HmmHmmGood. GoodThanks a lot.

Listen, I have just had a call about our

friend the Emperor.

You better get all of your men together.

We're gonna have our work cut out for us

tonight. Yes, sir.

Come along with me. Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Move in now. Right.

Go.

Get out.

Hurry.

Come on. What should we do?Off the guard.

There are a lot of Japanese swordsmen

breaking the place up. They've come for

the emperor. Quickly, we'll go out by the

window. Yes. My Lori, you must

come quickly. The survive. Oh

my lord. Oh,

be careful. Oh.

yeah

Hold it. Put the emperor down. Oh,

quickly, help me. Come on, help me.

Help me.

My Lord, let's go.

Make a move. You're dead.

Ohh Xin Lan.

There you go. Thanks a lot. For

all you've done, I'll take over.

But how did you know that the Emperor was

here?Hiyoshiko, you're still a young

girl. You have a lot to learn.

I've had you spied on ever since you got

here. You seem surprised. Ah

You mean one of my people?

Maumou?

I've known your every move. You've fitted

in very well with my plans.

Let's go back to Tokyo.

I'm sorry.

Women are too emotional. They're

incapable of being spies.

You must know how much this means to me.

So why can't you let me take the king?If

Shin Juan can't go with me, I would

rather die. I refuse to go to Mukden with

you. Thank you, my lord.

You're a clever girl. If you come with

us, you'll remain alive.

Leave him alone. I just got a cable.

His father is hostage in Japan. Send him

to Mongolia. We can use his father to

fix the alliance just as well.

Get moving.

Please. Hurry.

Please. I need a doctor. I need a

doctor. How are they intending to get Fu

Yi out of Chin Sin?Tell me, or I'll leave

you here to die in your old blood.

General?Umm

I have informed our

headquarters that we're moving on the

university to

divert the Chinese troops away from the

Pai River. Meanwhile, you

can take Fuyi away by motor launch.

Thank you, General. We're ready to leave

this evening. Now don't forget to load

the petrol. If the Chinese

get to the boat first, then burn Fuyi

alive. Yes, sir.

Momoko was trusted by Yoshiko, but

really she was working for the Japanese

military chiefs. She told me in the

hospital that at midnight tonight,

they'll be taking Fuyi out of dock number

12, the name of the boat, Hijiyama

Maru, leaves from Taku Harbor. That's

what leads our troops immediately.

Dock 12's in the Japanese sector. We

can't get in there. But this is an

emergency. We'll blow up the ship. I'll

go with you. I'll go too. All

right, all ready. Take the king aboard

first. I'll join you in a moment. Sir.

Move along there. Move along.

Sir. This

way.

Sir.

Inside.

The university's in an uproar. All the

troops have gone better help. We'll have

to go on our own. Right. We'll have to go

there by ourselves.

I was detained by the general. I'm sorry

if I kept you waiting. You can take the

ship out now. Go

ahead. Did you bring any grenades?Yes,

I have. Good.

Momoko said that on board, there's

several drums of petrol. If we can't stop

them at the dockside, we'll have to blow

the ship up and kill everyone. Including,

I'm afraid, the Emperor. Oh.

That's why Doibert stayed ashore. That

means one of us is forced to run for it.

Toss a grenade and then the ship will

blow up and it's all over. Right.

Captain, both aim ahead. Great. Aye, aye,

sir.

Pay for it and stop it, Captain.

Let's go.

They're full of oil!

Why on earth bring on board so muchpetrol?

If we're intercepted by the Chinese, we

will have no choice but to burn the ship.

Doiber will kill all of us.

It is the only way there is of destroying

the evidence of the kidnap that we are

taking the Emperor to Mukdan.

Let me go. Let me go. I want to push on.

You

want to get two?

Hey, put on the grenade.

Yoshiko, you must not let him explode

that thing, or else we'll all die.

Can't you trouble?

Planet your chapel.
