How to pronounce "什么地方"

[Silent Honor]

[Episode 3]

Deputy Chief Wu, I'm Mao Renfeng.

I've heard about what happened today.

It's entirely my fault.

I must sincerely apologize to you

for causing you such distress.

Your BIS is eager to catch Communist spies.

I understand.

Deputy Chief Wu, your understanding

makes me feel even more ashamed.

But I just can't believe that he...

How dare he shoot at you?

Who gave him such audacity?

I must severely punish Group Leader Gu

to give you an explanation.

That's your BIS's

internal affair.

Deputy Chief Wu, that

Communist spy who sold you medicine today,

we've been tracking him for a long time.

He's extremely cunning.

But what a coincidence. Don't you think?

How did you happen to run into

this Communist spy at National Taiwan University Hospital?

I went to the hospital for my hypertension.

I've already reported this to Chief Zhou.

You must take your medication regularly for hypertension.

I won't disturb you any further.

I apologize again.

That's right.

Deputy Chief Wu did inform me.

Mao Qiwu, what's the meaning of this call?

Does the Deputy Chief

of our Ministry of Defense need to report

to your BIS just to visit a hospital?

It was indeed a shot.

Only now did Wu Shi feel

the grief and terror

surging within his heart.

This was the closest he had come to being exposed.

He could truly smell

the bloody scent of White Terror.

If his identity were revealed today,

the intelligence network He Sui had painstakingly built

would be destroyed in an instant.

How many comrades would be innocently sacrificed?

What misfortune would befall their family?

But the Kinmen intelligence

concerned the future of New China

and the lives of tens of thousands of PLA soldiers.

Wu Shi felt for the first time

that every step forward

was filled with unknown dangers.

If Mao Renfeng doesn't apologize

to Deputy Chief Wu in person today,

it means he doesn't respect the Ministry of Defense at all.

Yesterday they could

shoot at Deputy Chief Wu.

Tomorrow, will they be able

to call me, the Chief, a Communist spy?

Then tell me, how can our Ministry of Defense

carry on with its normal work in the future?

Come out.

Comrade Jianfeng.

Chief Zhou.

What Gu Zhengwen did

is truly disrespectful to the Ministry of Defense.

I will definitely discipline him strictly when I return.

I apologize to you for this.

Director Mao,

I truly appreciate it

that you have this awareness.

Chief, but there are reasons for this.

How is it that the Communist spy

we've been tracking happened to run into Deputy Chief Wu?

How is it that before the 318th Division defected,

he just happened to visit the division headquarters?

How is it that the construction work in Fuzhou

just happened to stop

because of one phone call from him?

[Caoshan Villa]

These are just my humble speculations.

Please forgive me, Chief Zhou.

I only wish for the safety of our party and nation.

Deputy Chief Wu has arrived.

Senior, you've finally arrived.

Sorry, Comrade Jianfeng.

I had some urgent military matters to attend to.

That's why I'm late.

Deputy Chief Wu, you're finally here.

Please, have a seat.

Regarding the Kinmen strategy,

both of you generals have been working too hard.

Especially you.

I heard you've been working non-stop for days.

I've managed to get some Oriental Beauty tea.

Please have a taste.

Just a small token of my appreciation.

Comrade Jianfeng, you're too kind.

Oriental Beauty tea is quite rare.

I was merely doing my duty.

It's Chief Zhou who has the foresight.

You're always so modest.

Indeed.

I invited you here today,

first to express my appreciation.

And also, I want to apologize to you

about the incident at NTUH.

Chief Zhou told me about it.

You're the Deputy Chief personally appointed by the President.

A mere group leader from BIS

actually dared to shoot at you,

and even suspected you of being connected to Communist spies.

It's completely absurd.

If Mao Renfeng hadn't called my office

to verify Senior's whereabouts,

I had no idea

such an absurd thing happened.

It is indeed absurd.

Just say the word,

I'll punish Gu Zhengwen immediately

and deal harshly with BIS.

That's right, Senior.

This matter will be handled according to your wishes.

Jail them or execute them, whatever you want.

It's just a small matter.

The island is in a critical period of spy elimination.

They just want to earn more merits.

This sentiment is understandable.

They're just devoted to the party and nation after all.

Just doing their duty in their position.

Let it go, Comrade Jianfeng.

As long as they don't

bite like mad dogs in the future, it's fine.

Senior, you're still so magnanimous.

Since

Deputy Chief Wu is so forgiving,

I have

prepared a table of Fuzhou cuisine

for both generals to enjoy.

Also, someone will be here soon

to apologize to you in person.

Comrade Jianfeng, that's not necessary.

It's no big deal.

It's just Mao Renfeng. Forget it.

I have

work to do,

so I'll take my leave.

If you would do me the honor,

come to my house and I'll cook Fuzhou cuisine for you.

Alright, I'll be going now.

Thank you.

Let me have one more taste of Oriental Beauty tea.

Goodbye.

Thank you, Deputy Chief Wu.

Goodbye.

Goodbye. I'll see myself out.

[BIS Counterintelligence Section Office]

Come, you're just in time.

Come on, help me.

Push it that way.

Director, why are you moving the desk so late at night?

The feng shui master said

the desk placement has bad feng shui

and causes money loss.

Alright, that's about right.

It shouldn't be floating in the middle.

A person

needs backing.

Secure.

Why do you need to see me?

Director.

I went back and thought about it carefully.

Is it possible that

Zhang Hao actually committed suicide?

So is it possible that

Deputy Chief Wu took the gun?

You mean Deputy Chief Wu has a guilty conscience?

That's not what I meant.

But if we find the gun,

everything will become clear.

Gu, you're so clever.

Then go find the gun,

or go ask Deputy Chief Wu.

Director, I came to you

because I need your help.

The gun was already returned.

Adjutant Nie brought it back?

So you want

Deputy Chief Wu to personally return it to you?

That's not what I meant.

Could you please put in a word

to have

the bureau cover Deputy Chief Wu's car repair costs?

Now you realize how expensive it is.

When you were shooting at that car,

firing your gun,

why didn't you think about this?

The bureau's funds

aren't for fixing American luxury cars.

Do you understand?

Yes, I'll catch more Communist spies

to make up for my mistake.

Go.

Yes.

It's me.

Get Deputy Chief Wu's Buick Century

fixed quickly and return it to him.

What parts need to be shipped from America?

Sir,

we're being followed.

Looks like from the Counterintelligence Section.

Can we lose them?

Move!

Get out of the way!

Don't block the road! Move!

Get lost!

Sir,

we've lost them for now.

But we definitely can't go to Keelung now.

The Counterintelligence Section won't stop operating.

They're checking every intersection thoroughly.

Sir.

Here's the pass for Zhang.

I need some time alone.

Keep me hostage.

In Keelung, there's a place called Sanrong Trading.

Find the boss

and ask for the key left by Lin Yiwei.

Lin Yiwei.

Remember that.

What are you doing?

Was it you who fired the gun first?

Yes.

I failed to control my subordinates.

I... I apologize for frightening you,

Deputy Chief.

Come in.

Leader, this is

what Deputy Chief Wu and his adjutant tore up.

Just this tiny piece?

Yes, this is all that's left.

We examined it and believe it's

made of material like an ID card or tram ticket.

Therefore, I believe

what Deputy Chief Wu tore up

must be some kind of identification document.

What can we find out from such a small piece?

File it away for now.

Take this

for examination.

Check

if the bullet in Zhang Hao's brain

was fired from this gun.

Alright.

Wait.

Come with me to Keelung tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

[Xie Zhonghao's House, Keelung]

[Dead Souls]

[Family]

[Cipher]

[Keelung, Taiwan Province]

We've got something.

The bullet you gave me

is the same as the one in Zhang Hao's head.

Same gun.

If Deputy Chief Wu fired the shot,

shouldn't he have used his own service weapon?

It's also possible

that Deputy Chief Wu grabbed Zhang Hao's gun

during their struggle.

That's certainly a possibility.

Did you find anything upstairs?

No one's there.

But I'm almost certain

that this Xie Zhonghao is Zhang Hao's cipher clerk.

Zhang Hao died so suddenly.

He must have left things unfinished

up there.

Let's wait.

He'll definitely come back.

[Sanrong Trading, Keelung]

[Lin Yiliang, Secretary of the CPC Keelung Work Committee]

You just mentioned Mr. Lin's key.

What do you mean?

Mr. Lin Yiwei.

I'm here to pick up the key for Mr. Lin Yiwei.

I don't know Lin Yiwei.

Kishu Nozawa.

That was your name before you went to the mainland, wasn't it?

Yiliang,

remember,

you're not going to the mainland just to survive,

but to find the Party organization,

to get rid of this Japanese name

Kishu Nozawa

and remove the poisonous tumor of imperial education from your body.

If someone comes using my real name,

it means I'm already dead.

Give him the item.

Huanan Bank.

Safe deposit box 501.

[Xie Zhonghao, Cipher Clerk of Underground CPC]

Excuse me.

Don't look back.

This person might be Xie Zhonghao.

We need him alive.

Make way, please.

[Huanan Bank]

Okay, stop up ahead.

Thank you.

Hello, I'd like to pick up the item in box 501, please.

Sure, just a moment.

[Yongchun Pharmacy]

How's it going?

We've confirmed the telegram has been sent 3 times.

The East Sea Team's radio station

still hasn't responded at all.

Keep sending.

Okay.

[Zhang Hao’s Secret Radio, Keelung Wharf]

Sir.

I've brought the items Zhang left.

Zhang was always thorough.

He knew that if something happened,

we would completely lose contact with the Party.

So he left

the key to this safe in advance

to let us know about the cipher clerk

and the radio operator.

Xie Zhonghao, cipher clerk.

Liu Kangfu, radio operator,

speaks Japanese, responsible for keeping the radio.

If we can find them,

we can send messages to headquarters.

Will it be safe to find them?

Why was Zhang Hao exposed?

You're worried that

there's a traitor among these two agents.

It's very possible.

We just don't know

who the traitor is.

So we've just reconnected only to be cut off again?

I'll give it a try.

Even if only one of them is safe,

it's worth trying.

How will you try?

After I escort you,

I'll go to their workplaces

and check around their residences.

Whether they've betrayed us or been exposed,

it won't be difficult to spot

the BIS's presence.

Dispose of this first.

Okay.

Busy?

Wan.

I've come to tell you some good news.

What good news?

Hong Kong has been liberated?

I'm here on behalf of the Party to inform you of

your new phase of work assignments.

Let's talk inside.

[New China is in the process of rebuilding.]

You've been waiting for this day

[We hope Zhu Feng can return to Shanghai to support the New China construction.]

for a long time, haven't you?

You can finally go home now.

I'm very happy for you too.

Get yourself ready

to return to Shanghai and support the building of New China.

[Wu's Mansion, Taipei]

Sir,

the location of Wu's Mansion is really excellent.

But why is there only one guard at the entrance?

Even one is too many for me.

More people means more trouble.

One guard

and one driver is just fine.

Get off.

I've been thinking.

You absolutely cannot go

near Xie Zhonghao and Liu Kangfu's homes.

It would be too dangerous.

But we don't have any other options.

There must be another way.

The more critical the situation, the calmer we need to be.

You're back.

I'm back.

Madam.

Come in.

Dad.

Mom won't let me keep the bird at home.

She says there's no space.

How can there be no space in such a big house?

If Mom doesn't allow it, you should set it free.

Give it back its freedom.

No.

I don't want to set it free.

Okay, come here.

Come, I'll find a place for you.

Come.

Dou, prepare dinner.

Okay.

Nie Xi, dinner time.

Let me help, Madam.

It's fine, you go rest.

Xie Zhonghao killed

our two men.

We haven't notified their family yet.

Should we follow the usual procedure?

Then for each person,

add 50 jin of rice and 10 jin of soybeans.

50 jin of rice and 10 jin of soybeans?

Times are tough.

The entire BIS has over 10,000 people.

Those who can get their salary on time

can be counted on two hands.

Keep catching Communist spies.

There's a reward when you catch one.

Power's out again.

Must be a short circuit somewhere.

I'll go check.

Nie Xi.

Short circuit?

You just mentioned a short circuit.

Many residential areas in Taipei

have aging electrical systems.

They're probably making repairs now.

Short circuit.

Cipher clerk.

Radio operator.

Sir,

what are you mumbling about?

Zhang was the station chief and courier.

He separately contacted the cipher clerk Xie Zhonghao

and the radio operator Liu Kangfu.

In other words,

these two subordinates don't know each other.

According to the Party's discipline,

they shouldn't meet at all.

If someone using the cipher clerk's identity

arranges to meet the radio operator,

while simultaneously using the radio operator's identity

to meet the cipher clerk,

between the two of them,

whoever shows up

must be

the traitor who betrayed Zhang Hao.

These two books show obvious signs of reading,

indicating that Xie Zhonghao must have

read them many times over.

But this one is different.

It's pristine.

If he doesn't read it,

why keep it on the desk

within easy reach?

Of course, one could argue

it's a newly purchased book.

But looking at the content,

it seems out of place.

"Dead Souls" by Gogol.

"Family" by Ba Jin.

These are both authors

the Communists are very fond of.

Moreover, "Dead Souls"

is Lu Xun's translation.

But "From A Cottager's Sketchbook"

by Liang Shiqiu

is a collection of essays.

Would someone so sentimental

have such strong convictions?

Would he have the courage

to jump out of that window?

So I believe

this must be the codebook.

It must be the cipher key.

Only a traitor would be so concerned about the other's identity.

If we can verify

that the cipher clerk is safe,

then we'll cipher the code

and find a commercial station to send it out.

If the radio operator is safe,

then we'll go offshore and send the message in plain code.

This way,

the news from Kinmen will get out no matter what.

Didn't Zhang mention

the locations of their dead drops in his letter?

Notify them separately.

No matter where you arrange to meet,

be wary of Gu Zhengwen.

Still no respond?

The Ping'an ship hasn't set sail.

Zhang hasn't replied.

There must be a big problem.

Zhang's position is too important.

Should we quickly select someone

to replace him as the new courier?

In Taiwan's current situation,

trying to send someone to replace Zhang

is extremely difficult.

[Keelung Wharf]

[Liu Kangfu, Radio Operator of Underground CPC]

[12:00 noon at the entrance of Tian's Teahouse]

[From Zhang's translator friend]

You saw him reading the letter?

Absolutely true.

Leader was right.

We've caught our fish.

I need to keep an eye on him myself.

Should we send more people there?

Absolutely not.

Don't scare away the fish Leader is trying to catch.

Go report to him right away.

Okay.

Hu Lian's two army corps

will arrive in Kinmen soon.

The military force in Kinmen

will triple at once.

But what about the logistical supplies on the island?

Still the same.

Not even enough to support 20,000 people.

Tang Enbo just sent a telegram today.

The first thing he did after receiving the transfer order

was to ask for weapons and food.

But where am I supposed to get those for him?

[Tian's Teahouse]

Captain followed Liu Kangfu

to the Tian's Teahouse.

I rushed back

to report to you.

Alright, got it. Go back to work.

Yes, sir.

It's impossible to requisition from Taiwan now.

The latest batch of military supplies

has already been sent to Zhoushan.

They say "Before troops move,

supplies go first."

This time we have the troops ready,

but we're short on supplies.

I'm worried that if this continues,

Commander Tang and Generals Hu and Li

might suffer more unnecessary casualties.

What about that American military aid?

Wasn't that deal already secured?

Can we ship some to Kinmen?

Try it.

[Tian's Teahouse]

The military aid promised to us

has been withheld by the Americans for no reason.

We finally negotiated a deal

but they insist we submit a distribution plan.

How we distribute it

is none of their business.

We've submitted so many distribution plans,

but there's been no response at all.

The purpose of today's meeting

is to gather everyone's ideas.

We need to think carefully

about how to solve

the urgent logistical supply

crisis on Kinmen Island.

If anyone has any thoughts,

please feel free to share. Okay?

I'd like the usual please.

Alright, just a moment.

Okay.

I'd like a bowl of noodles.

Okay.

Stay still.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let go of me!

They'll definitely come looking for me again.

Let me go!

Captain Yu, listen to me.

They'll definitely come looking for me.

Believe me.

Let me go!

Captain Yu!

Believe me.

Captain Yu, let me explain!

Captain Yu!

Captain Yu, please give me one more chance.

They will definitely contact me again.

Trust me.

I won't let you down.

Captain Yu.

Leader,

I've been following him the whole time.

Haven't noticed anything suspicious.

I've checked everything,

including the woman who sold him betel nuts.

The entire shop was just full of

locals eating noodles.

There was one outsider.

I checked him out too.

No issues at all.

What about you?

I definitely wasn't spotted.

Mr. Gu.

Please let me explain.

I... I was just trying to help you catch the Communist spy.

I wanted to make some contribution.

Look,

if I had reported

that the cipher clerk was caught,

wouldn't Captain Yu get all the credit?

Right?

Cipher clerk?

Yes.

Tell me the exact contents

of that letter word for word.

Okay.

12:00 noon

at the entrance of Tian's Teahouse.

From Zhang's translator friend.

Mr. Gu,

please let me go back.

They will definitely contact me again.

Next time I'll report in advance.

Trust me.

Give me one more chance.

Don't worry, I'll explain for you

in front of the Chief.

Goodbye.

How's it going?

The cipher clerk Xie Zhonghao

hasn't touched the dead drop.

The one who came was the radio operator Liu Kangfu.

That action team leader who fired last time

has been following him.

Then this proves

the traitor who betrayed Zhang Hao is Liu Kangfu.

This Liu Kangfu has been exposed.

Is he of no use to us anymore?

Is he useless just because he's been exposed?

How would you know?

Besides,

do you know how he was exposed?

How would I know?

When we were in Beiping,

we raided the Communist radio station.

You should be very clear about their discipline,

right?

Between cipher clerks and radio operators,

they shouldn't even know each other,

let alone have any contact.

So that letter

wasn't about arranging a meeting at all.

It was just a test.

Their people must have already

been hiding near Tian's Teahouse.

As soon as Liu Kangfu appeared,

my hand would be completely revealed.

But...

But they don't know Liu Kangfu.

Well, maybe they recognized

a certain limping agent.

Leader,

I...

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have acted on my own.

I should have sent someone unfamiliar to them.

[Silent Honor]

[Episode 3]

Deputy Chief Wu, I'm Mao Renfeng.

I've heard about what happened today.

It's entirely my fault.

I must sincerely apologize to you

for causing you such distress.

if the bullet in Zhang Hao's brain

was fired from this gun.

Alright.

Wait.

Come with me to Keelung tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

[Xie Zhonghao's House, Keelung]

[Dead Souls]

[Family]

[Cipher]

[Keelung, Taiwan Province]

We've got something.

The bullet you gave me

is the same as the one in Zhang Hao's head.

Same gun.

If Deputy Chief Wu fired the shot,

shouldn't he have used his own service weapon?

It's also possible

that Deputy Chief Wu grabbed Zhang Hao's gun

during their struggle.

That's certainly a possibility.

Did you find anything upstairs?

No one's there.

But I'm almost certain

that this Xie Zhonghao is Zhang Hao's cipher clerk.

Zhang Hao died so suddenly.

He must have left things unfinished

up there.

Let's wait.

He'll definitely come back.

[Sanrong Trading, Keelung]

[Lin Yiliang, Secretary of the CPC Keelung Work Committee]

You just mentioned Mr. Lin's key.

What do you mean?

Mr. Lin Yiwei.

I'm here to pick up the key for Mr. Lin Yiwei.

I don't know Lin Yiwei.

Kishu Nozawa.

That was your name before you went to the mainland, wasn't it?

Yiliang,

remember,

you're not going to the mainland just to survive,

but to find the Party organization,

to get rid of this Japanese name

Kishu Nozawa

and remove the poisonous tumor of imperial education from your body.

If someone comes using my real name,

it means I'm already dead.

Give him the item.

Huanan Bank.

Safe deposit box 501.

[Xie Zhonghao, Cipher Clerk of Underground CPC]

Excuse me.

Don't look back.

This person might be Xie Zhonghao.

We need him alive.

Make way, please.

[Huanan Bank]

Okay, stop up ahead.

Thank you.

Hello, I'd like to pick up the item in box 501, please.

Sure, just a moment.

[Yongchun Pharmacy]

How's it going?

We've confirmed the telegram has been sent 3 times.

The East Sea Team's radio station

still hasn't responded at all.

Keep sending.

Okay.

[Zhang Hao’s Secret Radio, Keelung Wharf]

Sir.

I've brought the items Zhang left.

Zhang was always thorough.

He knew that if something happened,

we would completely lose contact with the Party.

So he left

the key to this safe in advance

to let us know about the cipher clerk

and the radio operator.

Xie Zhonghao, cipher clerk.

Liu Kangfu, radio operator,

speaks Japanese, responsible for keeping the radio.

If we can find them,

we can send messages to headquarters.

Will it be safe to find them?

Why was Zhang Hao exposed?

You're worried that

there's a traitor among these two agents.

It's very possible.

We just don't know

who the traitor is.

So we've just reconnected only to be cut off again?

I'll give it a try.

Even if only one of them is safe,

it's worth trying.

How will you try?

After I escort you,

I'll go to their workplaces

and check around their residences.

Whether they've betrayed us or been exposed,

it won't be difficult to spot

the BIS's presence.

Dispose of this first.

Okay.

Busy?

Wan.

I've come to tell you some good news.

What good news?

Hong Kong has been liberated?

I'm here on behalf of the Party to inform you of

your new phase of work assignments.

Let's talk inside.

[New China is in the process of rebuilding.]

You've been waiting for this day

[We hope Zhu Feng can return to Shanghai to support the New China construction.]

for a long time, haven't you?

You can finally go home now.

I'm very happy for you too.

Get yourself ready

to return to Shanghai and support the building of New China.

[Wu's Mansion, Taipei]

Sir,

the location of Wu's Mansion is really excellent.

But why is there only one guard at the entrance?

Even one is too many for me.

More people means more trouble.

One guard

and one driver is just fine.

Get off.

I've been thinking.

You absolutely cannot go

near Xie Zhonghao and Liu Kangfu's homes.

It would be too dangerous.

But we don't have any other options.

There must be another way.

The more critical the situation, the calmer we need to be.

You're back.

I'm back.

Madam.

Come in.

Dad.

Mom won't let me keep the bird at home.

She says there's no space.

How can there be no space in such a big house?

If Mom doesn't allow it, you should set it free.

Give it back its freedom.

No.

I don't want to set it free.

Okay, come here.

Come, I'll find a place for you.

Come.

Dou, prepare dinner.

Okay.

Nie Xi, dinner time.

Let me help, Madam.

It's fine, you go rest.

Xie Zhonghao killed

our two men.

We haven't notified their family yet.

Should we follow the usual procedure?

Then for each person,

add 50 jin of rice and 10 jin of soybeans.

50 jin of rice and 10 jin of soybeans?

Times are tough.

The entire BIS has over 10,000 people.

Those who can get their salary on time

can be counted on two hands.

Keep catching Communist spies.

There's a reward when you catch one.

Power's out again.

Must be a short circuit somewhere.

I'll go check.

Nie Xi.

Short circuit?

You just mentioned a short circuit.

Many residential areas in Taipei

have aging electrical systems.

They're probably making repairs now.

Short circuit.

Cipher clerk.

Radio operator.

Sir,

what are you mumbling about?

Zhang was the station chief and courier.

He separately contacted the cipher clerk Xie Zhonghao

and the radio operator Liu Kangfu.

In other words,

these two subordinates don't know each other.

According to the Party's discipline,

they shouldn't meet at all.

If someone using the cipher clerk's identity

arranges to meet the radio operator,

while simultaneously using the radio operator's identity

to meet the cipher clerk,

between the two of them,

whoever shows up

must be

the traitor who betrayed Zhang Hao.

These two books show obvious signs of reading,

indicating that Xie Zhonghao must have

read them many times over.

But this one is different.

It's pristine.

If he doesn't read it,

why keep it on the desk

within easy reach?

Of course, one could argue

it's a newly purchased book.

But looking at the content,

it seems out of place.

"Dead Souls" by Gogol.

"Family" by Ba Jin.

These are both authors

the Communists are very fond of.

Moreover, "Dead Souls"

is Lu Xun's translation.

But "From A Cottager's Sketchbook"

by Liang Shiqiu

is a collection of essays.

Would someone so sentimental

have such strong convictions?

Would he have the courage

to jump out of that window?

So I believe

this must be the codebook.

It must be the cipher key.

Only a traitor would be so concerned about the other's identity.

If we can verify

that the cipher clerk is safe,

then we'll cipher the code

and find a commercial station to send it out.

If the radio operator is safe,

then we'll go offshore and send the message in plain code.

This way,

the news from Kinmen will get out no matter what.

Didn't Zhang mention

the locations of their dead drops in his letter?

Notify them separately.

No matter where you arrange to meet,

be wary of Gu Zhengwen.

Still no respond?

The Ping'an ship hasn't set sail.

Zhang hasn't replied.

There must be a big problem.

Zhang's position is too important.

Should we quickly select someone

to replace him as the new courier?

In Taiwan's current situation,

trying to send someone to replace Zhang

is extremely difficult.

[Keelung Wharf]

[Liu Kangfu, Radio Operator of Underground CPC]

[12:00 noon at the entrance of Tian's Teahouse]

[From Zhang's translator friend]

You saw him reading the letter?

Absolutely true.

Leader was right.

We've caught our fish.

I need to keep an eye on him myself.

Should we send more people there?

Absolutely not.

Don't scare away the fish Leader is trying to catch.

Go report to him right away.

Okay.

Hu Lian's two army corps

will arrive in Kinmen soon.

The military force in Kinmen

will triple at once.

But what about the logistical supplies on the island?

Still the same.

Not even enough to support 20,000 people.

Tang Enbo just sent a telegram today.

The first thing he did after receiving the transfer order

was to ask for weapons and food.

But where am I supposed to get those for him?

[Tian's Teahouse]

Captain followed Liu Kangfu

to the Tian's Teahouse.

I rushed back

to report to you.

Alright, got it. Go back to work.

Yes, sir.

It's impossible to requisition from Taiwan now.

The latest batch of military supplies

has already been sent to Zhoushan.

They say "Before troops move,

supplies go first."

This time we have the troops ready,

but we're short on supplies.

I'm worried that if this continues,

Commander Tang and Generals Hu and Li

might suffer more unnecessary casualties.

What about that American military aid?

Wasn't that deal already secured?

Can we ship some to Kinmen?

Try it.

[Tian's Teahouse]

The military aid promised to us

has been withheld by the Americans for no reason.

We finally negotiated a deal

but they insist we submit a distribution plan.

How we distribute it

is none of their business.

We've submitted so many distribution plans,

but there's been no response at all.

The purpose of today's meeting

is to gather everyone's ideas.

We need to think carefully

about how to solve

the urgent logistical supply

crisis on Kinmen Island.

If anyone has any thoughts,

please feel free to share. Okay?

I'd like the usual please.

Alright, just a moment.

Okay.

I'd like a bowl of noodles.

Okay.

Stay still.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let go of me!

They'll definitely come looking for me again.

Let me go!

Captain Yu, listen to me.

They'll definitely come looking for me.

Believe me.

Let me go!

Captain Yu!

Believe me.

Captain Yu, let me explain!

Captain Yu!

Captain Yu, please give me one more chance.

They will definitely contact me again.

Trust me.

I won't let you down.

Captain Yu.

Leader,

I've been following him the whole time.

Haven't noticed anything suspicious.

I've checked everything,

including the woman who sold him betel nuts.

The entire shop was just full of

locals eating noodles.

There was one outsider.

I checked him out too.

No issues at all.

What about you?

I definitely wasn't spotted.

Mr. Gu.

Please let me explain.

I... I was just trying to help you catch the Communist spy.

I wanted to make some contribution.

Look,

if I had reported

that the cipher clerk was caught,

wouldn't Captain Yu get all the credit?

Right?

Cipher clerk?

Yes.

Tell me the exact contents

of that letter word for word.

Okay.

12:00 noon

at the entrance of Tian's Teahouse.

From Zhang's translator friend.

Mr. Gu,

please let me go back.

They will definitely contact me again.

Next time I'll report in advance.

Trust me.

Give me one more chance.

Don't worry, I'll explain for you

in front of the Chief.

Goodbye.

How's it going?

The cipher clerk Xie Zhonghao

hasn't touched the dead drop.

The one who came was the radio operator Liu Kangfu.

That action team leader who fired last time

has been following him.

Then this proves

the traitor who betrayed Zhang Hao is Liu Kangfu.

This Liu Kangfu has been exposed.

Is he of no use to us anymore?

Is he useless just because he's been exposed?

How would you know?

Besides,

do you know how he was exposed?

How would I know?

When we were in Beiping,

we raided the Communist radio station.

You should be very clear about their discipline,

right?

Between cipher clerks and radio operators,

they shouldn't even know each other,

let alone have any contact.

So that letter

wasn't about arranging a meeting at all.

It was just a test.

Their people must have already

been hiding near Tian's Teahouse.

As soon as Liu Kangfu appeared,

my hand would be completely revealed.

But...

But they don't know Liu Kangfu.

Well, maybe they recognized

a certain limping agent.

Leader,

I...

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have acted on my own.

I should have sent someone unfamiliar to them.
