How to pronounce "有意思"

[Silent Honor]

[Episode 15]

Hold him down! Stay still!

Let me go!

You inspection soldiers!

Stay still!

Let me go!

Stay still!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Sorry, Officer.

We arrived late.

The troubler is under control.

What's going on?

Reporting, Officer.

He's a deserter.

Seems mentally disturbed.

He thinks he's still at war.

We'll take him back immediately.

I see someone's injured.

Get him to the hospital right away.

Yes, sir.

Take him away!

Let me go!

Get up!

Move!

Are you okay?

You're hurt.

It's fine. Just a minor injury.

I'll take you to the hospital.

No need. I'm fine.

Let's go to the hospital.

Thank you

for accompanying me to the hospital.

I've taken up your whole morning.

I should be thanking you.

It's fine now. You should go.

If Section Chief Zhao asks,

just let her know.

I'll figure something out with Section Chief.

Let me walk you up first.

No need.

I've already come this far. Let's go.

Come on.

If you don't hurry now,

I'll really get scolded by Section Chief for being late.

Let me get you some water.

Don't move.

I'll get it for you.

Sit down.

What's wrong with your leg?

When I was running from that mad soldier,

I accidentally scraped it.

Why didn't you say anything at the hospital?

I was too worried about you

to feel the pain.

I have some medicine here

and a first aid kit.

Here are tweezers.

And iodine.

Use whatever you need.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Thank you, Officer Nie.

Officer Nie,

today when you rushed

toward that mad soldier,

weren't you scared at all?

No. If I were scared, I wouldn't have joined the army.

I really admire you.

Just now when I was treating my wound inside,

you considerately stepped out to avoid any impropriety.

That's also admirable.

You're truly a decent man.

It's what I should do.

Please get some rest.

I'll come see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

And thank you for the medicine.

As expected of someone who performed at NTU.

You acted so well.

This is far more terrifying than Salome.

John,

I've finally kissed you.

The taste on your lips

is quite bitter.

Could that be the taste of blood?

Perhaps it's the taste of love.

Kill this woman.

Kill this woman!

Bravo!

Your mission at NTU is over.

Wrap things up and withdraw as soon as possible.

This is your new goal.

Such a young colonel.

Handsome

and successful.

He's connected to Communist spies?

Nie Xi.

First Adjutant of Wu Shi, the Lieutenant General

and Deputy Chief of Ministry of Defense.

He was also Deputy Chief Wu's

favorite student when he taught at the Military Academy in Nanjing.

Your purpose this time

is to help me find out whether Nie Xi

is following Deputy Chief Wu

or using him to get information.

You're quite bold, Leader.

I heard the Director just

lost his temper over Deputy Chief Wu's matter.

You've heard quite a lot, huh?

The Director assigned me to go to the mountains in Taichung

to investigate the Communist activities there.

So I need to return the favor.

The Ministry of Defense is currently recruiting.

You can apply as a NTU

graduate.

The bureau will help arrange you

to a suitable position.

Remember, I chose you because

the Communists have no records on you.

You're a clean slate.

Plus with your

identity as an outstanding graduate from NTU,

you have the perfect cover to infiltrate

Communist spy networks.

Moreover,

for this mission,

I won't be able to guide you from the outside.

So I don't trust giving it to those

team members who only care about bonuses.

But you're different.

You have a deep-seated hatred for the Communists.

Even for a case as big as the "Guangming News",

I didn't use you.

It was to save you

for when I really need you.

So, what do you think?

Infiltrating Nie Xi

isn't like using feminine charms in an ivory tower.

He's different from those

naive college students in the audience.

Salome

might not be as appealing as Juliet.

But I must warn you.

Deputy Chief Wu is known

as an oddity in the Nationalist Army.

He's disciplined and self-restrained,

staying away from smoking, drinking, gambling, and women.

Nie Xi, as his adjutant,

follows his example.

I love challenging missions.

Good.

I have confidence in you.

You can act so convincingly

on such a fake stage.

I expect to hear good news

when I return.

Did it go well?

Yes, very well.

Even better than I expected.

Leader,

didn't we agree that it was acting?

Why was that mad soldier firing randomly?

Innocent people could get hurt.

When we act, we go all the way.

Hurting innocent people is exactly the point.

This will help you

better gain Nie Xi's trust.

I saw someone get shot.

Have we sent someone to treat him?

Don't worry.

Someone will take care of it.

I'll wait for your news.

The Truman administration back then

saw the Kuomintang trapped on an isolated island

with no future at all.

They then prepared

to make exploratory contact with the newly established

People's Republic of China.

What shameless behavior!

The Americans are so disloyal.

They go back on their word.

Truman is betraying trust and abandoning righteousness.

He blames the failure of his China policy

entirely on me personally

and on our Nationalist Government.

This is truly appalling.

We must turn our shame into courage

and remember our late Premier's teachings.

Unite as one.

Share weal and woe.

Fight against our common enemy.

I believe we will reclaim the mainland

and restore our nation.

Victory or martyrdom!

Reclaim the mainland; Restore our nation!

Victory or martyrdom!

Sir, I just heard the radio broadcast.

The Americans are giving up on Taiwan?

Without American support,

the Air Force planes

can't be replaced once they're lost.

Zhou Zhirou must be worried sick.

That's great.

Now Chiang will have to think twice

before letting the Chief use his B24 bombers

to bomb anywhere with those precious planes.

Thank you, Sir.

Looking at the situation,

the biggest obstacle to liberating Taiwan is gone.

Don't be too optimistic.

The Americans ultimately

protect their own interests.

Before the Pacific War,

they almost signed

the "Japan-US Understanding Plan" with the Japanese.

To maintain

their sphere of influence in the Pacific,

they were willing to sacrifice their interests in the Northeast.

Churchill said there are no eternal friends,

only eternal interests.

Sir, we should be optimistic.

What America is doing is pulling the rug out from under them.

As long as nothing major happens internationally,

liberating Taiwan is inevitable.

Inevitable.

At the very latest,

one year.

Taiwan will definitely be liberated within a year.

New China won't give

the Americans that much time.

After liberation,

our family will be reunited.

Mei will too.

Does Mei miss the children?

Yes,

very much.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Come back again.

Okay.

See you.

What would you like, sir?

You know your stuff.

This batch of squid is really plump.

Feel it. See how thick the meat is.

I've just dried a batch myself.

Could I see your boss?

Boss, someone's here to sell goods.

From where?

From Hongchang Store.

Please come in.

Let me see the goods.

Hongchang Store hasn't been here for a while.

Why haven't I seen you before?

Comrade.

I've escaped from Keelung Middle School.

They're looking for me everywhere.

Could I hide here for a while?

If you're not here for business,

please leave.

Comrade, my name is Zhuang Achen.

I used to teach Chinese in Keelung Middle School.

I'm also in charge of editing and proofreading

of Guangming News.

If you still don't believe me,

you can send someone to investigate.

Move.

Comrade,

I know I shouldn't be here,

but I have no other choice.

I have nowhere else to run.

During the mass arrests in Keelung,

I barely escaped and hid in my hometown in Zhanghua.

But it wasn't long

before those spies found me again.

I'm sorry, but you've come to the wrong place.

The one who led them to arrest me

was actually from my hometown,

named Liu Kangfu.

Move.

You can verify this with your superior.

Bin.

Liu Kangfu has already betrayed us.

Show him out.

Comrade.

Comrade.

Sir.

Please leave.

Leader,

I hope Weng Lianwang didn't mess things up.

Mr. Lin

is truly experienced in underground work.

When investigating enemies,

passively speaking, it's about concealing yourself.

Actively speaking,

it's about revealing yourself strategically.

Of course, it's best to balance both.

It's just like fishing.

You need patience.

Cast our bait,

and then we wait.

Boss, should we follow him?

No need.

What if he really is a comrade?

If he were really a comrade,

he wouldn't have shown up here.

Why?

Who was our only

courier contact?

Mr. Wang.

He died in the mass arrest.

So among the old committee members,

including Secretary Zhong Haodong who was arrested,

nobody knows about this communication station.

Then how did he find his way here?

He just mentioned someone.

Liu Kangfu.

Liu Kangfu?

Liu Kangfu.

Has he ever been to Sanrong Trading?

No.

Wait, boss,

if we don't follow him now...

What's our discipline?

No horizontal connections allowed.

So no matter who he is,

we can't keep him here.

What happened to your arm?

My arm is fine.

Come back.

Put it down.

It's fine.

What about this arm?

Just a slight injury.

Take off your clothes.

What injury? Take it off.

Roll up your sleeve.

How did you get injured?

Yesterday when I was coming back with breakfast,

I met a soldier on the street

who was firing his gun everywhere like a madman.

It was too dangerous.

He was shooting at civilians,

including a female clerk from our department.

So I tried to stop him.

You were shot.

Why didn't you report it?

I was afraid you might have important matters

that need me. So I...

I didn't tell you.

Which female clerk?

She's from the Confidential Department,

named Li Qing.

Is she new?

Yes, she just arrived recently.

Sir,

do you think

it's not that simple

and it's not a coincidence?

I didn't say it wasn't a coincidence.

It's just that we can't let go of

any coincidence.

Go home and rest.

No need.

Go home,

or Mei will blame me.

It's really not that serious, Sir.

You've seen the wound.

It's just a minor injury.

I'll go back then.

Call me anytime if you need anything.

I'll come right away.

Off you go!

Yes, sir.

Adjutant Nie.

You didn't take the medicine yesterday.

Remember to take it today.

Thank you.

I made noodles for you.

Is it still very spicy?

Patients shouldn't eat spicy food.

It's chicken soup noodles.

Try it.

Is it good?

Clerk Li, you're good at cooking.

Have a seat.

I remember you came after Double Ten Day

to the Ministry of Defense, right?

I came in November.

There was a performance at NTU,

so I started two months later

than Lu Zhenhua and the others.

Performance?

What kind of performance?

A play called "Salome".

It was quite popular at school back then.

I used to go to NTU often.

I have a friend who works as a teaching assistant there,

teaching English, surnamed Gao.

Mr. Gao Huaimin?

He taught in the Chinese Literature Department.

I was also in the Chinese Literature Department.

I took a few of his classes.

He's handsome and teaches well.

His classes were always full.

We had to go early to get a seat.

Yes, I heard he was very popular.

By the way,

you went to Chongqing North Road yesterday

to buy breakfast too?

Which place?

Number 33 Chongqing North Road.

There's a place there with delicious fermented rice dumplings.

I always go there to eat.

It's quite lively there.

Crowds make places lively,

but when there are too many people, accidents can happen.

I wonder how that person

who got shot yesterday is doing now.

That man is dead.

How do you know?

I followed the blood trail to find him.

He was a homeless man

and died in a straw hut.

Nobody cared about him.

Why are you washing dishes yourself?

Let me handle this.

You're injured and need to rest.

It's just a minor injury.

Leave it to me.

Tell me whatever you want to eat from now on.

I'll cook for you.

And don't wash the dishes. I'll do that for you.

Here.

Take your medicine.

Thank you.

And the chopsticks.

Just put them here.

Tell me what you want to eat.

No need. Thank you.

The Mad Soldier plan is indeed effective.

Now I have a legitimate reason

to enter and leave his room.

Perhaps...

Make good use of this,

and I'll assist you from the outside.

Understood.

Smells so good.

Eat slowly.

Don't choke.

Actually,

only those who have truly been hungry know what hunger feels like.

He's quite right like this.

Has Lin and his Communist group

contacted you yet?

Not yet.

Lin is very cautious.

Interesting.

Leader,

can I request to go back for some rest

to refresh myself

and put on a good show for these Communist spies?

Look at my condition now.

I stink.

Yes, I agree.

Lianwang has been working so hard.

He should go back and get some rest.

Indeed.

Then,

go take a shower,

have some good food

to get your energy back.

Or better yet,

go to Huadu Ballroom

and find a dance hostess to relax with.

Right? Look at you.

You're really too tense.

Mr. Zhuang Achen,

I believe

you're well aware

that when it comes to infiltration,

I do have some

insights and experience.

Right?

So,

may I offer you some advice?

As you just mentioned,

infiltration

is essentially acting.

You

have natural talent.

However,

you haven't yet

genuinely considered yourself

as a Communist

from the bottom of your heart.

But to give a convincing performance,

the most important thing is to believe it yourself.

So to help you better immerse yourself in

the role of Mr. Zhuang,

currently,

apart from me and Captain Yu,

no one knows your true identity.

This means you must

protect yourself.

Otherwise, you could pray

that those Communists at Sanrong Trading

find you first.

If you fall into the hands of others from the Counterintelligence Section

or even those from the Second Department,

even if you're taken to Machangting for execution,

I cannot save you

for the greater good.

Understand?

I'm sorry, Leader.

I get it now.

I need to play the role of...

Not play.

I am

a starving Communist who's been

on the run and lost contact with the Party.

Rest assured,

I'll definitely find a way to win over Lin Yiliang.

I believe in you.

You will certainly complete

this infiltration mission successfully.

When you return, you'll be

one of my most important right-hand men.

I shouldn't eat this.

I'll be going then.

Take care of yourself.

Lianwang is really

working hard this time, Leader.

Well,

I also want to...

Xiaonan,

if we want to catch the person hiding deepest,

we must stay united.

Understood.

Your strength isn't infiltration

but finding witnesses and evidence.

Drive.

Adjutant Nie.

I see it's about to rain,

so I brought in your sheets

and clothes that were hanging outside.

The rain these days just comes down without any signs.

Is this...

your way of repaying me for saving your life?

If I wanted to repay you for saving my life,

I would do much more than this.

I noticed you live alone

and thought...

I could help you out a bit more.

Was I being too abrupt?

How did you know I live alone?

I can tell from this room

there's no trace of a woman's presence.

But I know you have a wife.

Your observation of me is only superficial.

Doesn't she come to take care of you when you're injured?

My wife is a nurse.

She's very busy every day

and often works overtime.

She changed my medication today.

I'm sorry.

I was indeed being abrupt.

Adjutant Nie.

Do you also live in the officers' quarters of the Ministry of Defense?

What's up?

Could I get a ride back with you?

Sir, I've looked into the matter of the mad soldier

but found no discrepancies.

Come in.

[Office of the Director of the Meteorological Station]

Sir, Deputy Chief Wu is here for an inspection.

Why didn't you inform me earlier?

Sir, you could have just sent word

and I would have delivered it to you.

How could we trouble you to come in person?

Regarding the withdrawal of Huang Jie's corps from Taiwan,

both the President and the Chief are taking it very seriously.

First, lives are at stake.

Second, it involves foreign affairs.

Neither can be taken lightly.

Director Ma has prepared all the ships.

Now we're just waiting for good weather

to bring them back.

Yes, you're right.

Please rest assured, Sir.

From now on, the weather reports for the Gulf of Tonkin

and Taiwan waters

will be delivered to you immediately.

I see the records for the Gulf of Tonkin over the past few years

have been consistent without interruption.

Well done.

Sir, I'm flattered.

The two stations in Guangxi

would have been destroyed by the Japanese

if not for your protection in the 4th War Zone.

Have these sent to my office.

I'll send them over right away.

Bring me the recent weather forecasts

for the Zhoushan waters as well.

Sir,

here's the thing.

The Second Department has issued orders to our station.

The Chief has instructed

that access to weather data for Zhoushan waters

requires his personal approval.

Please wait a moment.

I'll call the Second Department

and report back to you.

Fine, I'll wait for your news.

Sir, let me see you out.

No need.

Take care, Sir.

Connect me to Director Duan at the Second Department.

Director Duan,

I'm Li from the meteorological station.

You previously instructed

that no matter who wanted to check

the report on the weather and sea conditions in Zhoushan,

I must report to you.

Yes.

Deputy Chief Wu came just now.

How did it go, Sir?

It's harder than I expected.

Li must have coordinated with the Second Department.

Without the Chief's orders,

they absolutely won't

let you access the Zhoushan waters'

weather data.

Then it will be very difficult

to determine the bombing time.

Shanghai is very close to Zhoushan.

The weather is quite similar.

According to historical meteorological data,

during winter and spring,

at least a quarter of Shanghai's weather

consists of clear days suitable for bombing.

This timeframe is far too broad.

Is there any way

we can narrow down this range?

My wife has a cousin named Wang Jifu

who is an Air Force staff officer.

Aren't you quite familiar with him?

Yes.

Go invite him over for dinner at my house.

Understood.

Come.

Comrade Yiliang, we're under martial law.

What intelligence is so important that you need to deliver it yourself?

It's too dangerous!

Zheng,

I'd like to ask you about something.

Go ahead.

In the old Keelung Work Committee,

was there someone named Zhuang Achen?

Yes, there was. Have a seat.

Zhuang Achen.

He's...

Yes.

His cover identity was

a Chinese language teacher at Keelung Middle School.

After the "Guangming News" case,

he disappeared.

Some say he was imprisoned.

Some say he was killed.

What's the matter?

Do you have any photos of him?

No.

Before Secretary Zhong Haodong was arrested,

he had already destroyed all

our comrades' photos and identity documents

from the Keelung Work Committee.

There's another person

named Liu Kangfu. Do you know anything about him?

He's a member of Comrade Zhang Hao's team.

After Comrade Zhang Hao died, he disappeared.

Is he the traitor who betrayed Zhang Hao?

We've been looking for him.

Do you have his photo?

Yes.

This is

from when he applied for his ID documents.

[National ID Application Form Liu Kangfu]

Did Mrs. Chen leave Taiwan safely?

She should have arrived in Zhoushan by now.

Mr. Wu.

Adjutant Nie.

There's too much filling in this.

It's about to burst.

This looks about right.

Yes, like that. Look.

Just tap it up like this.

And it's done. Simple, right?

You're back.

Come.

Yuxun, let me introduce you.

This is my new friend

I mentioned last time, Mrs. Chen.

She's from Hong Kong.

This is my husband, Wu Shi.

And this is his adjutant, Nie Xi.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Wu.

[Silent Honor]

[Episode 15]

Hold him down! Stay still!

Let me go!

You inspection soldiers!

Stay still!

Let me go!

Stay still!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Sorry, Officer.

We arrived late.

The troubler is under control.

Reporting, Officer.

He's a deserter.

Seems mentally disturbed.

He thinks he's still at war.

We'll take him back immediately.

I see someone's injured.

Get him to the hospital right away.

Yes, sir.

Take him away!

Let me go!

Get up!

Move!

Are you okay?

You're hurt.

It's fine. Just a minor injury.

I used to teach Chinese in Keelung Middle School.

I'm also in charge of editing and proofreading

of Guangming News.

If you still don't believe me,

you can send someone to investigate.

Move.

Comrade,

I know I shouldn't be here,

but I have no other choice.

I have nowhere else to run.

During the mass arrests in Keelung,

I barely escaped and hid in my hometown in Zhanghua.

But it wasn't long

before those spies found me again.

I'm sorry, but you've come to the wrong place.

The one who led them to arrest me

was actually from my hometown,

named Liu Kangfu.

Move.

You can verify this with your superior.

Bin.

Liu Kangfu has already betrayed us.

Show him out.

Comrade.

Comrade.

Sir.

Please leave.

Leader,

I hope Weng Lianwang didn't mess things up.

Mr. Lin

is truly experienced in underground work.

When investigating enemies,

passively speaking, it's about concealing yourself.

Actively speaking,

it's about revealing yourself strategically.

Of course, it's best to balance both.

It's just like fishing.

You need patience.

Cast our bait,

and then we wait.

Boss, should we follow him?

No need.

What if he really is a comrade?

If he were really a comrade,

he wouldn't have shown up here.

Why?

Who was our only

courier contact?

Mr. Wang.

He died in the mass arrest.

So among the old committee members,

including Secretary Zhong Haodong who was arrested,

nobody knows about this communication station.

Then how did he find his way here?

He just mentioned someone.

Liu Kangfu.

Liu Kangfu?

Liu Kangfu.

Has he ever been to Sanrong Trading?

No.

Wait, boss,

if we don't follow him now...

What's our discipline?

No horizontal connections allowed.

So no matter who he is,

we can't keep him here.

What happened to your arm?

My arm is fine.

Come back.

Put it down.

It's fine.

What about this arm?

Just a slight injury.

Take off your clothes.

What injury? Take it off.

Roll up your sleeve.

How did you get injured?

Yesterday when I was coming back with breakfast,

I met a soldier on the street

who was firing his gun everywhere like a madman.

It was too dangerous.

He was shooting at civilians,

including a female clerk from our department.

So I tried to stop him.

You were shot.

Why didn't you report it?

I was afraid you might have important matters

that need me. So I...

I didn't tell you.

Which female clerk?

She's from the Confidential Department,

named Li Qing.

Is she new?

Yes, she just arrived recently.

Sir,

do you think

it's not that simple

and it's not a coincidence?

I didn't say it wasn't a coincidence.

It's just that we can't let go of

any coincidence.

Go home and rest.

No need.

Go home,

or Mei will blame me.

It's really not that serious, Sir.

You've seen the wound.

It's just a minor injury.

I'll go back then.

Call me anytime if you need anything.

I'll come right away.

Off you go!

Yes, sir.

Adjutant Nie.

You didn't take the medicine yesterday.

Remember to take it today.

Thank you.

I made noodles for you.

Is it still very spicy?

Patients shouldn't eat spicy food.

It's chicken soup noodles.

Try it.

Is it good?

Clerk Li, you're good at cooking.

Have a seat.

I remember you came after Double Ten Day

to the Ministry of Defense, right?

I came in November.

There was a performance at NTU,

so I started two months later

than Lu Zhenhua and the others.

Performance?

What kind of performance?

A play called "Salome".

It was quite popular at school back then.

I used to go to NTU often.

I have a friend who works as a teaching assistant there,

teaching English, surnamed Gao.

Mr. Gao Huaimin?

He taught in the Chinese Literature Department.

I was also in the Chinese Literature Department.

I took a few of his classes.

He's handsome and teaches well.

His classes were always full.

We had to go early to get a seat.

Yes, I heard he was very popular.

By the way,

you went to Chongqing North Road yesterday

to buy breakfast too?

Which place?

Number 33 Chongqing North Road.

There's a place there with delicious fermented rice dumplings.

I always go there to eat.

It's quite lively there.

Crowds make places lively,

but when there are too many people, accidents can happen.

I wonder how that person

who got shot yesterday is doing now.

That man is dead.

How do you know?

I followed the blood trail to find him.

He was a homeless man

and died in a straw hut.

Nobody cared about him.

Why are you washing dishes yourself?

Let me handle this.

You're injured and need to rest.

It's just a minor injury.

Leave it to me.

Tell me whatever you want to eat from now on.

I'll cook for you.

And don't wash the dishes. I'll do that for you.

Here.

Take your medicine.

Thank you.

And the chopsticks.

Just put them here.

Tell me what you want to eat.

No need. Thank you.

The Mad Soldier plan is indeed effective.

Now I have a legitimate reason

to enter and leave his room.

Perhaps...

Make good use of this,

and I'll assist you from the outside.

Understood.

Smells so good.

Eat slowly.

Don't choke.

Actually,

only those who have truly been hungry know what hunger feels like.

He's quite right like this.

Has Lin and his Communist group

contacted you yet?

Not yet.

Lin is very cautious.

Interesting.

Leader,

can I request to go back for some rest

to refresh myself

and put on a good show for these Communist spies?

Look at my condition now.

I stink.

Yes, I agree.

Lianwang has been working so hard.

He should go back and get some rest.

Indeed.

Then,

go take a shower,

have some good food

to get your energy back.

Or better yet,

go to Huadu Ballroom

and find a dance hostess to relax with.

Right? Look at you.

You're really too tense.

Mr. Zhuang Achen,

I believe

you're well aware

that when it comes to infiltration,

I do have some

insights and experience.

Right?

So,

may I offer you some advice?

As you just mentioned,

infiltration

is essentially acting.

You

have natural talent.

However,

you haven't yet

genuinely considered yourself

as a Communist

from the bottom of your heart.

But to give a convincing performance,

the most important thing is to believe it yourself.

So to help you better immerse yourself in

the role of Mr. Zhuang,

currently,

apart from me and Captain Yu,

no one knows your true identity.

This means you must

protect yourself.

Otherwise, you could pray

that those Communists at Sanrong Trading

find you first.

If you fall into the hands of others from the Counterintelligence Section

or even those from the Second Department,

even if you're taken to Machangting for execution,

I cannot save you

for the greater good.

Understand?

I'm sorry, Leader.

I get it now.

I need to play the role of...

Not play.

I am

a starving Communist who's been

on the run and lost contact with the Party.

Rest assured,

I'll definitely find a way to win over Lin Yiliang.

I believe in you.

You will certainly complete

this infiltration mission successfully.

When you return, you'll be

one of my most important right-hand men.

I shouldn't eat this.

I'll be going then.

Take care of yourself.

Lianwang is really

working hard this time, Leader.

Well,

I also want to...

Xiaonan,

if we want to catch the person hiding deepest,

we must stay united.

Understood.

Your strength isn't infiltration

but finding witnesses and evidence.

Drive.

Adjutant Nie.

I see it's about to rain,

so I brought in your sheets

and clothes that were hanging outside.

The rain these days just comes down without any signs.

Is this...

your way of repaying me for saving your life?

If I wanted to repay you for saving my life,

I would do much more than this.

I noticed you live alone

and thought...

I could help you out a bit more.

Was I being too abrupt?

How did you know I live alone?

I can tell from this room

there's no trace of a woman's presence.

But I know you have a wife.

Your observation of me is only superficial.

Doesn't she come to take care of you when you're injured?

My wife is a nurse.

She's very busy every day

and often works overtime.

She changed my medication today.

I'm sorry.

I was indeed being abrupt.

Adjutant Nie.

Do you also live in the officers' quarters of the Ministry of Defense?

What's up?

Could I get a ride back with you?

Sir, I've looked into the matter of the mad soldier

but found no discrepancies.

Come in.

[Office of the Director of the Meteorological Station]

Sir, Deputy Chief Wu is here for an inspection.

Why didn't you inform me earlier?

Sir, you could have just sent word

and I would have delivered it to you.

How could we trouble you to come in person?

Regarding the withdrawal of Huang Jie's corps from Taiwan,

both the President and the Chief are taking it very seriously.

First, lives are at stake.

Second, it involves foreign affairs.

Neither can be taken lightly.

Director Ma has prepared all the ships.

Now we're just waiting for good weather

to bring them back.

Yes, you're right.

Please rest assured, Sir.

From now on, the weather reports for the Gulf of Tonkin

and Taiwan waters

will be delivered to you immediately.

I see the records for the Gulf of Tonkin over the past few years

have been consistent without interruption.

Well done.

Sir, I'm flattered.

The two stations in Guangxi

would have been destroyed by the Japanese

if not for your protection in the 4th War Zone.

Have these sent to my office.

I'll send them over right away.

Bring me the recent weather forecasts

for the Zhoushan waters as well.

Sir,

here's the thing.

The Second Department has issued orders to our station.

The Chief has instructed

that access to weather data for Zhoushan waters

requires his personal approval.

Please wait a moment.

I'll call the Second Department

and report back to you.

Fine, I'll wait for your news.

Sir, let me see you out.

No need.

Take care, Sir.

Connect me to Director Duan at the Second Department.

Director Duan,

I'm Li from the meteorological station.

You previously instructed

that no matter who wanted to check

the report on the weather and sea conditions in Zhoushan,

I must report to you.

Yes.

Deputy Chief Wu came just now.

How did it go, Sir?

It's harder than I expected.

Li must have coordinated with the Second Department.

Without the Chief's orders,

they absolutely won't

let you access the Zhoushan waters'

weather data.

Then it will be very difficult

to determine the bombing time.

Shanghai is very close to Zhoushan.

The weather is quite similar.

According to historical meteorological data,

during winter and spring,

at least a quarter of Shanghai's weather

consists of clear days suitable for bombing.

This timeframe is far too broad.

Is there any way

we can narrow down this range?

My wife has a cousin named Wang Jifu

who is an Air Force staff officer.

Aren't you quite familiar with him?

Yes.

Go invite him over for dinner at my house.

Understood.

Come.

Comrade Yiliang, we're under martial law.

What intelligence is so important that you need to deliver it yourself?

It's too dangerous!

Zheng,

I'd like to ask you about something.

Go ahead.

In the old Keelung Work Committee,

was there someone named Zhuang Achen?

Yes, there was. Have a seat.

Zhuang Achen.

He's...

Yes.

His cover identity was

a Chinese language teacher at Keelung Middle School.

After the "Guangming News" case,

he disappeared.

Some say he was imprisoned.

Some say he was killed.

What's the matter?

Do you have any photos of him?

No.

Before Secretary Zhong Haodong was arrested,

he had already destroyed all

our comrades' photos and identity documents

from the Keelung Work Committee.

There's another person

named Liu Kangfu. Do you know anything about him?

He's a member of Comrade Zhang Hao's team.

After Comrade Zhang Hao died, he disappeared.

Is he the traitor who betrayed Zhang Hao?

We've been looking for him.

Do you have his photo?

Yes.

This is

from when he applied for his ID documents.

[National ID Application Form Liu Kangfu]

Did Mrs. Chen leave Taiwan safely?

She should have arrived in Zhoushan by now.

Mr. Wu.

Adjutant Nie.

There's too much filling in this.

It's about to burst.

This looks about right.

Yes, like that. Look.

Just tap it up like this.

And it's done. Simple, right?

You're back.

Come.

Yuxun, let me introduce you.

This is my new friend

I mentioned last time, Mrs. Chen.

She's from Hong Kong.

This is my husband, Wu Shi.

And this is his adjutant, Nie Xi.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Wu.
