[Dark Night and Dawn]

[Episode 19]

His current name is Tong Susu.

He studies at St. Fang Ji Junior High School.

He plays the piano very well.

His mother is a musician,

and his father is a university professor.

As his birth mother,

you went through a lot of trouble

to find him a good family.

A family that you could never provide him with.

To be honest,

we just met him.

When we arrived at St. Fang Ji Junior High School,

the teacher told us

Falcon had just been there.

He also got your child's address

as a police officer.

Liar.

If I really had such a child

and Falcon got to know about this,

Shrike could used this to threaten me.

The Hook Sword Gang is still useful to him.

He doesn't have to kill me, right?

There is only one possibility then.

Falcon hid this information from Shrike.

Tell me.

Why would he do that?

Falcon is a good friend of mine.

He may have felt compassion for a moment.

Because he's also going to be a father himself very soon.

His wife and child are both in Shrike's hands.

But there's another possibility.

Maybe he wanted to use this information

to negotiate with you or Shrike for some new conditions.

None of us can say for sure

whether and when he will

tell Shrike about this.

If anyone dares to touch my child,

I won't let him go even if I go to hell.

We will only protect your child.

But only by catching Shrike

can you and your child be truly safe.

Dai Yueqing.

Where exactly is

the Counterfeit Money Factory located?

Dock 46,

Xingfu Li,

Putuo District.

Wait a minute.

Did my child already know

his mother is a villain?

We didn't disturb him

or tell him any information about you.

He knows he was adopted.

But in the story told by his adoptive parents,

his birth mother

is a perfect person,

a female battlefield surgeon

who died on the anti-Japanese front.

Dai Yueqing.

I hope you can really cooperate

and atone for your crimes.

Maybe you can meet Tong Susu

openly some day

and don't have to be on the run anymore.

Dai Yueqing really took it to heart.

It seems we should do something to goad her.

As soon as she heard that Xu Wei went to see Tong Susu,

she got anxious immediately.

Only you

could make up these to frighten her.

Just tell me whether it worked or not.

Don't show off your cleverness.

Xiang called.

After Zheng Lanting made that home visit, she went back to the studio.

Nothing unusual happened.

Tell Xiang to keep watching him.

Notify everyone to assemble urgently and get ready for action.

Yes.

If this goes well,

I'll make a fortune.

It's here, right?

Yes, No. 46.

It's here.

Open the door.

-Is anyone there? -Open the door.

Is...

Who are you?

We... We are here to pick up the goods.

[One box of Penicillin]

One box of Penicillin.

This is the bill of lading.

Please come in.

Let's go.

We're about to make a fortune.

Where is the bill of lading?

The bill!

[Pickup address: Dock 46, Xingfu Li, Putuo District]

It's indeed a bill of lading of this warehouse.

You are from the Hook Sword Gang?

If there's no problem with the bill,

just give us the stuff.

Sir, please spare us.

Please spare my life.

I...

I don't want the goods anymore.

Please let me go, Boss.

It depends on whether you tell the truth or not.

We will. We will.

Where did you get this bill of lading?

What does the owner of it look like? Tell me.

I... I stole it.

The owner is a middle-aged man in his 50s.

He's thin and looks quite gentle.

Thank you for making a run here.

Boss.

Is there something

to this bill of lading?

Shrike usually prepares a few spare bills of lading

so that he has a proper reason

when he has to come to this warehouse.

This time, he didn't come by himself,

but he tried to pass it in through the hands of the thieves.

There must be some compelling reason.

He's warning us.

Huzi.

Action.

Don't move!

Move!

Pin them down!

Get down!

Xu, take care of the injured!

Okay!

Let's go!

Check the injured first.

There's an ambush.

Lu.

Run!

Run!

Boss.

Where are they?

I've contacted all the docks.

Why are there only so few people?

After you and Boss Dai got attacked in the church,

the police went to the dock and arrested quite a few men of our gang.

It's lucky enough that the few people here managed to escape.

So many of our men got arrested.

How did you get away?

Boss.

Are you suspecting me?

I swear.

I got news from Chief

that he was in trouble.

I risked my life

to come here and meet you.

Right.

All these years, I, Wu Laosan,

haven't made a name for myself. I'm indeed useless!

But I'm definitely not a coward!

Good.

Attaboy.

Everyone present here is not a coward.

Not a coward!

Boss, what should we do next?

The police and the agents are both watching us.

It's hard to do anything when our hands are tied.

This is where our gang started.

You guys stay here.

Welcome our boss back when the time is right.

-Yes. -Yes.

We've completely destroyed

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

the Counterfeit Money Factory and the counterfeiting equipment.

The chief of the counterfeit money trade organization, Hook Sword Gang,

Dai Yueqing, and some of their men have been arrested.

The other suspects are still being pursued.

Dai Yueqing is just a tool.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Behind her is still Shrike

and NBIS Shanghai Special Station.

According to the file, besides the 3 major gangs, Green Gang, Hong Gang,

and Robe Gang,

there are hundreds of gangs of all kinds

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

entrenched in Shanghai.

Since Shanghai Special Station

managed to use Hook Sword Gang,

they may also get

the power of other gangs involved.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

The municipal government is drafting documents.

They are determined to eradicate

the gangs' power in Shanghai.

Judging from the current situation, the spread of counterfeit money

has been effectively curbed.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

The credit of RMB has stabilized.

It's safe to say that we won a great victory.

But it's still far from time to celebrate.

The agents of Shanghai Special Station are very ambitious.

They've deeply infiltrated

all walks of life in Shanghai,

and they got full support from Taiwan.

They'll be our main enemy in the future.

Although things may seem calm on the surface,

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Shanghai's business community is actually simmering.

They hoarded a large amount of rice, flour, coal,

and other daily necessities.

The agents will definitely stir up trouble again.

We need to prepare for a long battle.

Zhengyang, how's your injury?

I'll be fine in a few days.

It won't affect my work.

Don't act tough.

Only after you recover can you continue to fight tough battles.

Yes.

Here you are.

Here you are.

Here you are.

Thank you.

This is what the current situation of Hook Sword Gang is like.

Some got arrested, and some escaped.

Those who managed to stay don't know what they should do.

Wei, you are really loyal and kind.

Those of the Hook Sword Gang are like rats leaving a sinking ship.

If you trust me, I'll work for you in the future.

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

As long as the Hook Sword Gang still has its members,

it's still useful.

Stick with the Bearded One.

Report to me if anything happens.

Yes. Got it.

[Water Conservation]

Dishes coming up.

[Water Conservation]

Thank you for treating me to dinner today.

I used your meal ticket.

You brat.

By the way,

Xiang has been on watch the whole night,

and nothing unusual happened in Lanting Studio.

I asked him to come back.

He should come back.

If we keep watching him,

he'll ask the bureau

to issue him a letter of guarantee again.

It'll be hard to explain if things get out of hand.

How's your leg? Are you holding up okay?

It'll heal in a few days.

Can you walk on your own?

You worry about that?

There's nothing you can do to help, right?

By the way,

Auntie made you this chili sauce

according to the recipe you like.

Awesome.

Really? Awesome?

I'll take it.

You have to do me another favor.

Go ahead.

Go pick someone up at the train station this afternoon.

Who?

Feihang.

[Shanghai Station]

[Feihang]

[Shanghai Station]

[Feihang]

[Feihang]

[Feihang]

[Feihang]

Hello, uncle. I'm Feihang.

Where's Uncle Lu?

Hello, Feihang.

I'm your Uncle Lu's colleague.

Uncle Lu is too busy today.

He asked me to pick you up.

ID.

To prove that you're Uncle Lu's colleague.

Uncle Lu said

I can't go with strangers.

It must be Lu Zhengyang who taught you that.

Here.

Hello, Uncle Lin. Let's go.

[Shanghai Station]

Come on. You're carrying such a big bag at such a young...

I can take care of my own business.

Let's go.

[Chang'an] [Shanghai]

Why did you dare to come to Shanghai alone?

The conductors took care of me.

How about I take you to the mall

and learn about the economy?

Look, there's pilling on your coat.

I'll buy you a floral dress.

I don't want it. It's fine as long as my clothes are clean and tidy.

You don't even like floral dresses.

No wonder. Your name

doesn't sound like a girl's name either.

Boys and girls are the same.

Names can also be gender neutral.

Is there any special meaning

to your name?

Uncle Lu told me

my name indicates that our country

will be able to build our own planes in the future

and never be bullied by others again.

You want to build a plane?

Shanghai has the biggest factories

and the best schools in Asia.

If I study here,

I will be able to participate in

building our own planes.

Good.

If all the kids in school

could be like you,

who would dare to bully our country?

You can make it!

Attention. Attention.

Look who's here.

Our little engineer.

Feihang.

Uncle Huzi.

You've grown so tall, Feihang.

Lu.

Feihang!

Uncle.

Uncle, you're hurt.

It's nothing. I just sprained my ankle.

Are you really okay?

I'm really okay.

Tell her if I'm okay.

Look, I can even jump like this. Look.

Right?

Why is your hair loose?

It's alright.

Say hello to the uncles and aunts here

formally first, okay?

Hello, everyone. I'm Feihang.

Feihang, have a candy.

Thank you, auntie.

Call me Xiaoman.

Thank you, Xiaoman.

Let me comb your hair for you.

Go.

Come on, Feihang, sit here.

Are you really okay?

Didn't I ask you to take her to the dorm?

Why did you bring her here?

She wanted to see you.

You really want her to wait for you to get off work?

This is the place to work.

Here are some snacks. Take them back to eat.

Thank you.

Don't eat too much of this, or you'll have a toothache.

Come on. Let me introduce.

This is Uncle Xu.

Call him Uncle Xu.

Hello, Uncle Xu.

Hello.

This is Uncle Xiang.

Call him Uncle Xiang.

Hello, Uncle Xiang,

Good girl, Feihang.

Come on.

Feihang.

This is our new home.

It's so tidy.

I sleep there at night.

Come on, your bed is in here.

Wait, I'll turn on the light for you.

It's so clean and tidy.

Thank you, Uncle.

Feihang.

Your bag is so heavy, even for me,

but you insisted on carrying it yourself on the way here.

Of course.

I should take care of my own business.

Feihang.

Your clothes.

Thank you, Uncle Lin.

She took the train for two days and two nights.

How could you not be worried, letting her go on such a long journey herself?

You didn't even ask someone to escort her.

Feihang is very independent.

Besides, there were conductors taking care of her.

The organization arranged for her

to come and live in Shanghai.

They also arranged a school for her to study.

I couldn't ask for more.

[Mandarin]

Is this when Feihang was a kid?

Why do her parents look familiar?

This is Wen Tian and his wife,

who died in the Fuzhou Road Explosion four years ago.

They were my comrades

and Feihang's biological parents.

Can you handle it?

Of course.

[Xinyue Ferry Transport Team]

Stop the truck.

Sir, please show me your ID

and your driver's license.

Okay.

Officer, I left in a hurry,

and I forgot to bring them.

Can you make an exception?

I have something urgent to do.

Sorry.

You can't pass without an ID.

Please turn off the engine and get off for inspection.

Sir, please get off the truck for inspection.

Okay.

Stop the truck! Notify the bureau that we found Xu Wei!

After this shot of Penicillin,

you should be fine.

Thank you, Mr. Zheng.

If it weren't for the bill of lading you sent,

I might have...

But it was still too late.

In fact, it's okay that the counterfeit money factory was destroyed.

You should take less action to avoid being exposed.

But you were still in the factory.

Don't worry. They didn't see my face.

It won't cause any trouble.

Just take a good rest.

Don't think about anything.

Chief, how's Zombie Sparrow's injury?

It's nothing serious.

Tell everyone not to take any action recently.

Ask them to take a good rest.

But we can't stop.

Recently, the ships transporting the new government's supplies

frequently enter and exit the docks.

When large numbers of supplies flood into Shanghai,

we will be even more passive.

You want to destroy those supplies?

Not for the time being.

Dai Yueqing was arrested.

The docks

will definitely be heavily inspected.

Not only the docks.

Gangs of all sizes in Shanghai

will face rectification.

The toughness of the Communist Party's measures

will continue to go beyond our cognition and imagination.

Then what should we do next?

Recuperate.

So that we can be ready to fight again.

Go back to the transport team and drive your truck with peace of mind.

Chief.

Do I need to change my identity?

There are many checkpoints on the street.

I'm afraid it'll be inconvenient to drive.

You've got all the necessary documents. What's inconvenient?

Right.

What exactly is your problem?

I have no problem. I just can't accept it.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

Okay.

[Name: Wei Shan]

[Motor Vehicle Driver's License]

Hello, Sir.

Hello. I'm sorry.

It's raining. I have to pack up.

If you want to get your shoes fixed, come tomorrow.

No, I'm here to look for someone.

May I ask

if this place used to be a stamp shop?

Yes.

They moved.

They moved?

Yes.

Do you know where they moved to?

You're asking me the same question.

Are you together?

With whom?

A young man came to ask about it tonight.

He asked the exact same question as you.

Can you help me check if it was him?

[Name: Wei Shan]

Yes.

It was him?

Yes, it was him.

Okay. Thank you.

Are you sleepy?

Here.

Eat some and go to bed.

I'm starving.

Shaobai.

What's going on with you lately?

You've been out so early every day

and back so late.

What kind of mission are you on?

All the cases I handle are major cases.

I can't tell you about them.

What has my mom been busy with these days?

Your mother is running for neighborhood council member.

Today,

she went to deliver coal and vegetables to people to solicit votes.

You know what?

She's actually quite popular.

Really? So she's quite passionate about it?

She's quite serious this time.

It's the new society now. Maybe

she can actually be selected.

If she really gets selected,

Taiping Lane will be lively.

Boss, let me.

You asked me to follow Falcon,

and I found something strange as expected.

He lost his driver's license,

and he didn't return to the dock transport team.

Go look for him

in the shops that forge seals and licenses in the alleys.

If you find him, bring him to see me.

Okay.

Are you worried the police will get to him?

He's still useful to me.

It'll be a pity

if I give him up now.

Come on.

No need.

The doctor said I'm okay.

Are you sure?

Be careful.

Acting tough.

I told you to be careful. Are you okay?

I was just trying to scare you.

Good for you.

You even know how to joke now.

You've improved.

Finally, you're not pulling a long face every day.

This is called "Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas."

You're the dog.

Listen.

Feihang will start school in a few days,

and you'll take her to school.

I'll leave it to you.

You brat. Wait for me!

[People's Elementary]

Good morning.

Uncle, this notebook is so pretty.

I like it very much.

Then study hard.

Okay.

Morning, Director Lu.

Mr. Zheng.

What brings you here?

This is my niece, Feihang.

It's her first day of school.

Hello, Feihang.

This is Mr. Zheng.

Hello, Mr. Zheng.

Hello.

I teach art at school.

So you brought her here to register?

Yes.

You're a busy man. How about I take her there?

Okay. Go with Mr. Zheng.

Okay.

Is that okay?

Go.

You trust me with her, right?

Sure.

Come with me.

We're here.

Good morning, teacher.

[Window 4]

Director, I'm leaving then.

Okay.

Put my coat back.

I just washed them.

I'm almost done here.

You can take them home to eat.

Lu.

I may need to take a few days' leave.

Why?

My mom called this morning.

Her cousin passed away.

I have to go and mourn him.

He had no children.

I'm his only relative of younger generation.

If I don't go, there will be no one to see him off to the grave.

You have to go then.

I'll give you 3 days off.

Take care of your family and come back early.

Three days?

You are so generous, Lu.

I'm leaving this afternoon then.

Okay. Go.

Lin Shaobai's mother has a cousin?

I checked before he entered the Social Affairs Office.

His mother does have a cousin.

Why was he so polite

given how good his reason for asking for leave is?

He just said thank you to Director.

Do you think he was lying?

If his mother's cousin really passed away,

his mother would definitely go to the funeral.

Who knows what will happen.

Huzi, stop eating.

[Window 3]

Go out with me.

[Window 4]

Whether I get selected or not,

I will always care and support

the neighborhood council member's work.

I'll think about what the people think and worry about what the people worry about,

and truly serve the people.

That doesn't sound like a eulogy.

It's not that it doesn't sound like a eulogy.

Check it for me.

It has nothing to do with eulogies at all.

I don't know things about it.

Why don't you?

Let Shaobai check it when he's back.

Just help me.

Director Lu.

-Director Lu. -Director Lu.

You are here.

Mr. Huzi. Why are you guys here?

Director Lu, I happened to have written a manuscript.

Can you go through it for me?

Right. She asked me to check it, but I don't know how.

Director Lu, please help her.

Please check it for me.

Lin Shaobai should be better at this.

Right. Where is Shaobai?

He's not with you guys?

Didn't he call?

He won't be home for the next couple of days. Have you forgotten?

Right, I forgot.

I was too excited.

So why... Why are you here?

We were handling a case nearby, and we happened to pass by.

This is the fruit Shaobai asked us to bring you.

Thank you for coming specially for that.

Thank you.

[Lin's Home]

Find Lin Shaobai and keep an eye on him.

Report to me immediately if you find out anything.

Yes.

Who is it?

Wu Tiebi.

You hid really well.

Officer Xu.

Open the door.

I need you to forge a license for me.

Officer Xu, you know

I have a disability in my legs.

If I don't do this, I'll starve to death.

Please have mercy on me and let me live.

Why are you shivering?

I'm really here to ask you to forge a license for me. Take it.

Really?

What license do you want me to forge?

My driver's license.

This is a photo of it.

Officer Xu, it's the new society now.

Have you quit being a police officer?

Is that what you should ask?

But if you dare to talk about it, you know the consequences.

Don't worry. I've been doing this for years.

I know the rules.

How long will it take?

I'll get it done as soon as possible.

I need it tonight at 12.

Okay.

Thank you.

I said I'd do your job well.

You...

Mr. Lin.

Business is good, right?

Mr. Lin, you...

Your old partner, Officer Xu, was just here.

Mr. Lin, why are you here?

He forgot to tell you something just now.

I'm here to remind you.

Don't use too new paper for the license.

Use older paper, so it'll look more like it.

That's it? No problem.

By the way, when did he say he'd come pick it up?

He said it too fast. I didn't hear it clearly.

At 12 midnight.

At 12?

Okay.

Be more meticulous this time.

Don't forget how you broke your leg.

I won't forget. I definitely won't.

I got caught for forging licenses,

and my leg was broken by my employer in prison.

If it weren't for you and Officer Xu who intervened,

I wouldn't be alive now.

I will never forget

your kindness.

Listen to me.

Stop doing this business after this deal.

Mr. Lin, you're kidding, right?

I'm not.

We're in the new society now,

but look what you've been making.

If you get arrested,

no one can bail you out.

But I have a child to raise.

I just want to make a living.

I really have no choice.

Can't you make a living

by cleaning people's shoes or setting up a stall outside?

If you don't know how,

I'll ask someone to teach you.

Mr. Lin.

You seem to have changed.

Times have changed.

Zhengyang, it seems he still didn't plan to tell us.

Director, Xu Wei showed up.

Director, everyone is in position.

Why don't we go in now

and catch him red-handed?

Wait. If it really gets chaotic,

Lin Shaobai may get hurt.

I came here alone today.

How did you find this place?

Since you've found out,

this identity is meaningless then.

This is your last chance.

As long as you come back with me and turn yourself in,

you can still live.

Trust me.

Wei.

[Xinyue Ferry Transport Team]

Lin Shaobai!

Do you know what you are doing?

It wasn't me who drove this car!

Lin Shaobai.

You're hopeless.

Handcuff him and take him back!
