[Dark Night and Dawn]

[Episode 34]

[Wang Liqun] [Li Yuquan] [Falcon]

We still don't know his name,

but this sketch is based on the description

from the arms dealer.

He also revealed that this buyer

[Killer recruited]

recruited more than a dozen assassins through him.

It seems this third party

is definitely taking action.

[Dumdum bullet]

Yes,

and all their firearms and ammunition

are the best American equipment.

According to them,

this buyer was very straightforward when paying,

[Killer recruited]

indicating that their financial backing is very strong.

[Wang Liqun] [Li Yuquan] [Falcon]

Based on everything that has happened before,

Uncle Jin's suspicion

is still quite high.

No evidence, no conclusion.

Investigate this person's true identity

and quickly determine the employer behind him.

I'm back.

How is it?

[Dumdum bullet]

We checked at HSBC.

Wang Liqun's savings book

regularly receives large sums of money.

And the remitter is quite fixed.

It's a company called Shanghai Gangtong Trading.

The owner of this Gangtong Trading company

is the one who has been providing

[Dumdum bullet]

operational funds to the agents.

It's not that simple.

This company specializes

in currency exchange and transfer services,

and its clients are the major banks in Hong Kong.

So it seems that Zheng Lanting's funding behind the scenes

comes from Hong Kong.

Which bank?

It's still HSBC, the Hong Kong HSBC headquarters.

We called them,

and they stated that they need to keep their clients' information confidential

and will not disclose any information.

That's normal.

It's their policy.

However, Yaohong and I

found another clue.

This Shanghai Gangtong Trading company

recently sent a remittance

of 50,000 US dollars to another person

in addition to Yang Jun,

who is Wang Liqun's alias.

What is the name of the payee?

Han Jinkui.

Han Jinkui?

[Dumdum bullet]

As for the questions regarding the Hong Kong HSBC headquarters,

I'll coordinate with Deputy Commissioner Yang.

Yaohong, Xiaoman,

you two go to the household registration office

to find out exactly who Han Jinkui is.

Understood.

On January 6th of this year,

Britain has already recognized the status of our new China,

and up to now, HSBC in Hong Kong

is still providing funding to the agents.

Isn't that aiding and abetting evil?

This doesn't make sense anywhere.

Deputy Commissioner Yang,

once Zheng Lanting realizes

we're tracking this lead,

he will make the Hong Kong side directly close the account and transfer funds.

So...

How about this?

I will personally go to find the South China Bureau.

Our Party's highest leadership organization in Hong Kong

is the Hong Kong and Macao Working Committee,

which has Huaren, the Investment Promotion Bureau,

and the Nanyang Commercial Bank.

These are all red enterprises.

If the official route doesn't work,

I think private coordination

should be possible.

Okay.

Take care of yourself.

Mr. Jin.

Miss's luggage is all packed,

and she can go to the station at any time.

Let me take you to the station.

No need, Dad, you still have to work.

Let Zhou take me. That's fine.

I will have weekends off for my training in Nanjing,

and I'll come back to accompany you on weekends.

Did you hear that, Zhou?

This is what Yan said herself.

If you don't come back,

Zhou,

go directly to Nanjing to pick her up.

Okay.

Don't worry, Dad.

Alright, Dad,

I'm leaving now.

Take good care of yourself.

Eat well and sleep well.

Alright, alright.

A telegram from Hong Kong has arrived.

So soon? Do we have any clues?

Our comrades in Hong Kong

spent a lot of effort.

Look.

[The boss of Xiangyun Ships is Jin Maochang]

Jin Maochang.

It really is Jin Maochang.

Our previous suspicions

[On September 10th, Gangtong Trading Company transferred 100,000 US dollars to Wang Liqun]

can now be confirmed.

He has been the one providing

[Lanting Studio's bank account at HSBC]

funds for Zheng Lanting.

I know Uncle Jin well.

He would never follow Zheng Lanting's orders.

Uncle Jin's most important concern is Yan.

Zheng Lanting

must be using Yan to threaten him.

Director, Han Jinkui has been found.

We found his information at the household registration office,

and also his registration photo.

He just moved here last September.

[Lanting Studio's bank account at HSBC]

[Killer recruited]

These two are the same person.

This Han Jinkui is the one who used the Dumdum bullets.

And the person

who processed his registration

is Jin Maochang.

Everything matches up.

Jin Maochang

is the third party we've been looking for.

[Killer recruited]

He is cooperating with Shrike,

but has always wanted to break free from Shrike's control.

Killing Wang Liqun was to prevent him from confessing

and exposing himself.

Killing Li Yuquan

was to shift the suspicion of anthrax and incendiary bombs

onto Li Yuquan.

And he also transferred a huge amount of 50,000 US dollars

to Han Jinkui

to buy guns and ammunition and recruit assassins.

What is he trying to do?

He wants to eliminate Shrike.

It turns out Yan's trip to Nanjing was arranged by him,

to ensure he had no worries

during the final showdown.

He could never be Zheng Lanting's match.

Act immediately.

Capture Jin Maochang.

Yes.

These few today are all seasoned operatives.

Zhou,

you don't need to wade into this muddy water.

You can go back.

Mr. Jin, you know me

after so many years.

At such a critical time,

I need to be by your side.

What are your plans after this is done?

Once it's successful,

I'll take Dabao and Erbao and leave Shanghai,

and raise them well.

This way, it's a good explanation for you

and for my brother too.

If anything goes wrong...

Mr. Jin,

I never think about the "what ifs."

If we don't leave ourselves an escape route,

then the gun's muzzle will always point forward.

Well said! No escape route left for ourselves.

So we can only win.

We agreed on four o'clock.

Why haven't they arrived yet?

Director,

I've asked.

Nobody in the factory knows

Jin Maochang's whereabouts.

Hello?

Lu, he's not home.

Quickly investigate all of Jin Maochang's social connections.

Expand the search range.

See you at the office in a bit.

Understood.

Pengfei,

I'll leave this to you.

Yes.

Huzi, come with me.

Yes.

He's coming.

Are you nervous?

I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Why am I feeling a bit nervous?

Am I overthinking it?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I rode all the way here.

It's better to be cautious.

Your wanted notices are all over the newspapers.

The public security bureau is also looking for you everywhere.

I was worried you might not come.

Is the boat here?

Almost.

This place is too conspicuous.

Let's go in and wait.

I want you to board the ship with the cotton yarn.

By the way, I'm going with you.

I'll accompany you.

Thoughtful.

Just the two of you?

Isn't Mrs. Zheng coming along?

What time is it?

I can just mind my own business.

That's true.

One's own life is the most important.

Mr. Jin.

What play is this?

Aren't you sincerely sending me off?

It's sincerely sending you off,

but it has to be done cleanly and swiftly.

Otherwise, if you fall into the hands of the police,

what will I do?

If you fall,

you'll still be in my hands.

No need to wait anymore.

So Mr. Jin is really sending us on our way.

Are you sure

you want to to this?

From the first day you found me,

threatening me with my daughter's life,

I have been looking for this opportunity.

King Goujian of Yue,

lying low and enduring hardship?

Send us on board.

I can overlook all of this.

This is your last chance.

You're giving me a chance?

Did I hear that right?

Do you know, Zheng Lanting,

that I'm not the only one here who wants you dead?

Do you still remember Jiang Yang?

He's my brother.

The debt you owe him

needs to be repaid today.

You're Jiang Yang's biological brother?

I deeply regret this.

Too late.

You must be very curious

about who your brother died at the hands of.

Besides you, who else...

Him.

Your Boss Mr. Jin.

With a shovel,

he buried your brother alive, one shovelful at a time.

What nonsense are you talking about...

Mr. Jin, how did you do it?

After burying someone's biological brother alive,

you can still make his brother work for you.

Teach me,

how did you do it?

Mr. Jin,

is what he said true?

Is it true?

Kui.

Shut up!

I did it.

If I hadn't acted back then, I would've died too,

and my daughter would've died too.

The key is, your brother couldn't survive.

Before your brother died,

he never sold me out.

Falcon.

You were also there at the time, right?

You tell me, was there a lie

in what I just said?

Kui, Falcon,

if you kill Zheng Lanting now,

you can also kill me.

Whether to act is up to you.

Mr. Jin, don't talk nonsense.

This has nothing to do with me.

Brother!

I'm giving you an explanation today.

Zheng Lanting!

Any news?

Not yet.

Don't think too much.

If I could find evidence earlier,

if I could arrest Uncle Jin earlier,

wouldn't all of this have been avoided?

Life is unpredictable.

Since things have happened,

just handle them well.

Director, the Public Security Bureau just received a report.

There's been a lot of gunfire at Changjiang No. 3 warehouse.

There seems to have been a shootout.

Immediately notify everyone

to head to Changjiang No. 3 warehouse.

Yes.

Falcon.

It was you who tipped me off.

Mr. Jin,

even at your last moment, you're still stirring discord.

Injured pretty badly.

Not much time left.

Mr Jin,

my people

have already infiltrated last night.

To be honest,

since the day you killed

Li Yuquan,

I've started to see you in a new light.

I'm also someone you've been dreaming of killing.

How could you possibly

sincerely want to send me away?

That logic doesn't hold up.

I've lost.

I won't pose a threat to you anymore.

I'm just asking you,

given that I've helped you with so many things,

to spare my daughter.

But based on what I know about you,

you should be more attached to

your vast fortune.

Do you have children?

Have you ever been a father?

If you've ever been a father, you should understand

a father's heart

for his child.

I'm begging you.

Spare my daughter.

Don't worry.

I've never .

truly wanted to harm her.

Goodbye,

Mr. Jin.

It's very likely we won't meet again.

Let's go back.

Yes.

[Number 3]

Uncle Jin.

Uncle Jin!

Zheng Lanting has escaped.

He took a boat to Hong Kong.

Shaobai,

I'll leave Mr. Jin to you.

The others,

come with me to chase.

Uncle Jin, please hold on.

I'll take you to the hospital.

Don't move.

Don't move.

I can't hold on anymore.

I'm returning light before death.

I have been sharp all my life,

but didn't expect to end up

falling into the hands of agents.

Uncle Jin,

I believe you were forced by the agents.

I know you did it all for Yan.

Shaobai,

the only thing I'm worried about

is Yan.

If I leave,

she will have no family left.

Don't worry, Uncle Jin.

I will definitely take good care of Yan.

Can you really do that?

I can.

Then I can rest assured.

[Shanghai Station]

[Doctors' Office]

Miss Jin Yan,

based on the current situation,

all the factories under your father's name

need to be suspended for reorganization.

Please understand.

At the same time, we have already investigated clearly

that your father's issues

have nothing

to do with you.

[Tomb of My Beloved Father Jin Maochang and Mother Yan Xiaoman]

My dad arranged for me to leave Shanghai this time

to prevent me from getting involved.

He thought of everything for me.

But I didn't even get to see him one last time.

He usually can't sleep soundly,

worried and scared.

This time,

he can finally sleep peacefully.

As long as you're well,

Uncle Jin will definitely be at ease over there.

[Zhongtian Chemical Plant]

Chief.

Have all the follow-ups been taken care of?

It's all been handled.

Our people sank the boat.

The crew has also been dealt with.

The police will surely think we've already escaped.

Great.

This way, we can mislead Lu Zhengyang and the others

into thinking we've already left Shanghai.

In this way,

we will have a glimmer of hope.

Jin Maochang has just delivered an opportunity.

It's worth it

for him to die.

Chief,

do you want to eat?

I'm not hungry.

Is there something

that needs to be reported

but hasn't been?

I'm sorry, Chief.

Jin Maochang bribed me before.

Really?

He gave me a sum of money

and asked me to stand by and do nothing.

I... I took the money.

But you didn't do anything.

Then you're not a good businessman.

I'm not a businessman.

I'm your Falcon.

I have to live up to your cultivation of me.

No,

I think the person you should live up to the most is

your wife and child in Zhejiang.

They are safe.

Congratulations, Falcon.

Thank you, Chief.

Right now,

the messengers are a bit slow,

because the Lanting Studio is gone.

But anyway,

as long as they are safe,

everything is fine,

right?

Yes.

Chief,

Jin Maochang told me before

that he sent someone to that village.

I've already briefed Li Xu.

He will reassure you.

I'm sorry, Chief.

I was momentarily confused...

In this situation,

it's hard not to feel a bit

shaken inside.

Because we are all human, after all.

Next, your task is to

keep an eye on Ogura.

He is one of our few hopes.

Understood.

You should finish that meal.

Yes.

Thank you, Chief.

Go on.

Xu Wei can no longer be used.

It's really a total defeat.

But right now,

we have few people left.

We can't push everyone

to our opposing side, right?

But I still have firm beliefs.

We will definitely come back.

Tomorrow at three in the afternoon.

Tomorrow at three in the afternoon,

at No. 1157 Huaihai Road, Shenghe Pawnshop,

Shrike, you must come to meet.

Signed 0408.

The transmitter-receiver frequency

and the telegram format and code

are all from the NBIS.

It should be our own people.

People have arrived from the island.

This telegram seems to have come from the higher-ups.

Could it be a punishment for us?

Anything is possible right now.

How about this?

Falcon and I will go to check the situation at

Shenghe Pawnshop tomorrow.

Restoring contact with the NBIS

is only a matter of time.

Rather than waiting for them to find me,

I might as well go myself.

I think it's going to rain tomorrow.

[Shenghe]

[Shenghe]

Shrike,

long time no see.

After all this time, we meet as old friends.

We are old friends,

but it's a pity this isn't the time to catch up.

No catching up?

Then Secretary Liu, do you want

to look forward to the future?

Zheng Lanting,

as the Chief of the Shanghai Special Station,

you have achieved nothing since the fall.

Not only have you lost men and resources,

but you've also spread false information,

causing our air force to lose control of the airspace over Shanghai.

Killing you a hundred times

wouldn't make up for the huge loss.

you've brought to the Party.

If you recognize the situation,

you should go to Taiwan to confess and seek forgiveness

and accept a military court's trial.

Otherwise, we have reason to suspect

that you have betrayed the Party.

Then we'll execute you on the spot.

What's going on?

Then execute me.

You sit first.

Wait for me to finish speaking.

Considering your loyalty and

dedication,

we'll spare your life for now.

You'll be demoted to Deputy Chief.

I hope you will feel ashamed and work harder

to continue serving the Party.

Shrike,

what I just said to you

was not my intention.

It was the directive from Director Mao Renfeng.

He instructed me

to deliver it word for word.

Don't take it personally.

Mr. Mao means

doing things with strict criticism with lenient treatment.

But after you conveyed it this way,

it sounds a bit

like you're using power to intimidate.

Mind your manners!

Watch your tone with our Chief.

Watch your tone with Shrike.

These young people have no manners and need discipline.

Do I need you to tell him that I'm already the Chief?

So you have already been promoted to Chief?

Congratulations.

But you can't hit people.

They need discipline.

So you called me here today

from so far away,

shouldn't it be for more than just accountability?

Is there a report I need to give?

What report?

Let me tell you, Shrike,

in the past,

we had some unpleasantness.

Did we?

Let's just pretend it never happened.

Don't take it to heart in the future.

I came back this time

out of necessity.

I came back with a lot of reluctance.

I believe you were forced by the spies.

that only you

are the true Chief.

You can't say that.

No, no, it really is like that.

Right now, within the structure of the NBIS,

you should be

the true Chief.

You know, it's just a nominal title.

Mr. Mao sent you

to Shanghai at this time,

so he must have high hopes for you.

From what I know of you,

you should have a plan

on how to handle

this mess, right?

Don't mock me here.

You know my capabilities, don't you?

All the affairs of our Shanghai Special Station

depend on you, Shrike.

There's something I want to ask you.

How is that trump card,

Ogura,

you have?

Indeed,

Chief Liu

has a plan.

Don't worry.

I'm not asking for Ogura.

I just want to understand the situation

so I can report it to the higher-ups.

Otherwise, it'll be difficult

to apply for funds

for our Shanghai Special Station's activities.

I can tell you this.

It's time for us to

use Ogura now.

As for

the research on super anthrax,

it has now

entered the medical trial phase.

In other words,

our Sea Subversion Plan

will be implemented soon.

So,

is it confirmed we're doing this?

Of course.

This is a major matter.

You decide.

You'll be the one who decide.

By the way,

that Si who often follows me,

have you heard anything about him?

He's dead.

He died in your watch shop,

killed by the police.

This tea is good.

Not bad, right?

Who gave it to you?

Take a packet when you leave.

[Xiya Timepiece Store]

Hold on.

Make sure to keep the door secure.

Okay.

Hey, buddy.

Come here.

Can you do me a favor?

Lift it out.

Alright.

That's it.

Get out.

What are you doing? Who let you in?

Well.

I heard you call me.

You startled me.

It's over.

It's lost. It's over.

What's gone?

The gold bars.

Dollars.

Do what?

Do what? Dollars!

US Dollars.

All gone.

Did Si take them?

He wouldn't dare.

I'd kill him.

He's already dead.

What happened?

Where did the money go?

The Party sent us back,

but they don't care about our lives at all.

If it weren't for this money,

why would I come back?

Now it's all gone.

I've got my life on the line

and earned this retirement money.

It can't just disappear like this.

Look for it.

Keep looking.

Look for it!

Okay.

Oh my God.

Go up and look for it.

Okay.

It's all over now.

It's all over now.

Where did...

Where did all my gold bars go?

It's over. It's over.

It's over.

Mom.

Yan.

Yan.

Come in.

Hurry in!

Feihang has grown taller.

Why didn't you say anything earlier?

What's the point of saying it earlier?

I prepared some of my best dishes for you.

I just learned them from my mom.

Hurry and take them to play.

Go, go, go.

Fish soup.

I made this dish myself.

Make sure to taste it.

I'll serve it.

Good girl.

Stealing my job, Little Feihang.

Be careful, don't burn yourself.

Here, Aunt Jin Yan, have some soup.

Thank you, Feihang.

Quick, try it.

Let me serve you.

Is it good?

Here.

Thank you, Grandma.

It's delicious, fresh.

It's my specialty, I told you.

Today, it's mainly because I didn't have enough time.

If I had more time,

I could have prepared a whole table of dishes for you.

Uncle Lin always talks big.

He was supposed to make braised carp,

but he couldn't even handle killing the fish.

That's why it was Younger Grandma teaching him to make crucian carp soup.

I'm kind, Feihang.

I can't bear to kill fish, you know?

Don't talk nonsense,

or I'll tell your Uncle!
