You can call me Wu.
I believe Kuang Yumin has already talked to you about it.
Sit.
Let's get to the point.
First, and also usually last,
Before you go on a mission sew this into your clothes.
If your identity is exposed...
It's only a precaution.
It won't be painful, but do it quickly.
Be sure to do it before they restrain your hands. Get it?
Is your memory good?
Remember every single word I say.
Repeat it in your mind.
Don't ask questions, and don't think.
Just remember you're Mrs. Mak.
You've always lived in Hongkong, and have no relatives in Shanghai.
This is very important, you must know
our enemies are very careful and cunning.
Once you arouse his suspicions you'll be dead.
I have to warn you first.
I can do it.
This is your file.
Four years ago you married Mr. Mak.
Your marriage certificate, and your wedding anniversary,
You live in Luobiancheng street in Hongkong,
and moved to Zhuangshidun street.
After Hongkong fell, Mr. Mak's business took a turn for the worse.
So you had to run errands to make ends meet.
Your telephone numbers.
For home, and Mr. Mak's office.
Which goods were in scarce supply in Hongkong last year,
and what you can't buy in Shanghai.
Your bank account number.
You need to commit all of these to memory.
You need to be able to answer unhesitatingly.
This is only the first step. You need to know that
once you start, you can't look back.
Silk stockings, western medicine.
You need to remember the prices of everything on the list.
My job ends here.
The rest is up to you. Any questions?
I wrote a letter to my father.
Could you mail it to him after you read it?
Once you complete your task, we'll send you to England.
You should go dress up.
I want to see Mrs. Mak.
What about your part?
The car's ready.
The hotel room's paid up for a week.
It's the Wang government's HQ.
Mrs. Yee often eats there.
We'll let them meet there.
Wait for me in the study. Yes sir.
She's been to Shanghai a few times already.
She stayed at East Asia Hotel but we never knew.
Sorry about that.
If Mr. Mak wasn't so busy,
I'd have contacted you earlier.
I said our house was just empty rooms,
staying in a hotel was just a waste of money.
I haven't been to Hongkong for ages.
You're back?
Do you remember Mrs. Mak?
Mr. Yee, how are you? You must have forgotten me.
I haven't.
How's Mr. Mak and his business?
Times are tough. Thanks for asking.
Mr. Yee seems to have lost weight.
When he got his posting I asked him to reconsider it.
It's nothing but hard work and offending people.
You women go ahead.
He's quite friendly isn't he?
It's just acting.
Are we still going to East Asia today? Aren't you sick of the food there?
It's safer with the Special Ops people there.
Why?
Bombs. It's chaotic out there.
Any suspicious characters are shot on the spot.
My siblings are in Singapore,
they told me it's going to the dogs there.
They told me not to come.
Is Hongkong better?
It's the same, prices have doubled.
Because of the war, the black market is flourishing.
Oh, you don't smoke.
I brought some ciggies for you.
It's in my luggage, I almost forgot.
Thanks! You can't even get it on the black market now.
Yes, Minister.
The room's a little cramped, but it's safer here.
I was afraid of inconveniencing you and Mrs. Yee.
It's her pleasure to have someone play mahjong with her. I'm also hardly at home.
Have you been busy? You've lost a lot of weight.
You've changed too.
It's been three years and the war isn't over.
It's no easy feat that we could still meet.
I brought some stuff for Mrs. Yee.
I didn't know what you like.
It's good enough that you're here.
The map of the Yees' residence. The front is blocked.
Everyone enters and leaves via the back.
There're two chaffeurs, Guo and Yao.
Guo drives Mrs. Yee.
Ah Ma and the servants are from Yee's hometown.
The chaffeur never leaves the car, not sure if he's Yee's eyes.
All belongings have to be searched before boarding the car.
What about Yee?
I met him once, he's rarely at home.
When he comes home he'll go to the study. I haven't found a chance yet.
He has a secretary, Zhang.
What's his full name?
I don't know yet.
You must be careful.
I need money.
Take this for the time being.
How come you haven't gotten any better even though you play mahjong every day?
I need to remember so many things, I can't concentrate.
What about the rest? How are they?
They're all concerned about you. You'll meet them eventually.
Fortunately you didn't come to the opera with me yesterday.
It made my head hurt.
What did they sing yesterday?
Wu Jia Po. It was terrible singing.
All the good singers have fled to Hongkong.
I told Mr. Yee that if the government of his,
can't even bring in a decent opera,
no matter how much good they do, the people won't acknowledge it.
Morning.
Good morning, Mr. Yee.
The Chinese herbs you've been taking contains turtle shell and staghorn.
You shouldn't drink tea with it.
His feet get cold so he can't sleep well. He's taking it to improve his blood circulation.
He asks me to massage his feet in the night.
I'm having a meeting soon.
What're you doing today?
I'm going to Mrs. Liao's to play mahjong with her Mum.
You're not forcing our guest to go, are you?
Mrs. Yee is giving me a break today.
I'm going to the movies in the afternoon.
Mr. Yee asked me to fetch you because it's raining.
Are we going to the cinema?
The car will be waiting for you here.
Don't scare me like that!
My hair!
Is it so difficult?
Do you like it this way?
Sit down.
Your coat.
What brings you here Yee?
I was with a guest in the next room.
Ah, Mr. Yee caught us shopping.
Sit down with us since you're here.
I'll accompany you women for a while.
Do you understand the Suzhou dialect?
A little, I liked listening to it when I was young.
But after we moved to Hongkong I didn't get to any more.
But you're back now, aren't you?
It's temporary. I'll be going back to Hongkong soon.
I'll be going in a few days. If there's anything you want,
I can bring some back for you.
CUTE DOG!
Mrs. Mak, will you be having breakfast?
I'm not hungry, thank you.
Where are Mr. and Mrs. Yee?
Mrs. Yee isn't awake yet. Mr. Yee has already left for Nanjing for a meeting.
To Nanjing eh?
Yes.
When will he be back?
I don't know.
Mrs. Liang took a fall, I'm going to see her.
Mrs. Mak has been having a headache for the past two days.
When she wakes up give her some medicine.
I'll be out the whole day. Take care of the house.
If Mrs. Mak feels like eating give her some porridge.
Got it.
Do you believe that I hate you?
I do.
It wasn't like this three years ago.
I hate you.
I said I believe you.
I haven't believed anyone for a long time.
Say it once more. I'll believe you.
Then you must be very lonely.
But I'm still alive.
You left for four days without a word.
Do you know I was hating you every minute?
Now that I'm back, do you still hate me?
No.
Are you still going back to Hongkong?
I want to go back.
Give me an apartment.
Brother, you can't do something illegal like this!
I...I didn't. Why are you here?
I went to the teahouse to find you.
Our branch members have been taken into custody.
Some of our safe houses have been raided.
Fortunately Ouyang was alert enough to escape.
All our lines of communication have to be cut.
You can't go back to the old places.
Then when will we act?
We need to wait for orders from the top.
Can you hurry them?
After all this, can we all leave this place?
I can't say. I don't know.
I haven't seen him for the last few days.
Ah Ma says he went to Nanjing.
I don't know if that's true.
He might have another woman.
The previous day he brought me to No. 1237 Xia Fei Road...
I know, we had people there.
There was perfume in the apartment.
There was a smell of jasmine flowers nearby.
But it didn't seem like it was left there on that day.
There was dust on the pillows.
I don't know.
Wong Chia Chi...
I don't know...
Wong Chia Chi, Wong Chia Chi!
Look at me, look at me!
I won't let you be harmed, understand?
I won't let you get hurt.
She said "I'm old already but you're still flirting with me [lit. "eating tofu"]!"
I said "Old tofu is the best!"
Since it's Mr. Yee's birthday,
she toasted him for longetivity.
I haven't seen Mr. Yee for the past few days.
He's gone to Nanjing on official business.
Well, even though you say she's old she still looks good.
But Qianchu's is really bad.
Close the door.
I was waiting for you.
You must be tired then.
I'm very tired.
Mrs. Yee said you went to Nanjing.
Don't believe what you hear.
I've been very busy these few days.
We broke a resistance cell in Chongqing.
And arrested ten of them.
They'd gone through rigorous training.
So I had to personally interrogate them one by one
to get anything out of them.
Ah, I forgot
you're not interested in my work are you?
It's very boring.
You've been very careful all this while
not to ask me about it.
That's your business.
You never ask about me too.
The only thing I can do is to wait for you here every day.
Maybe you have another woman outside.
I can't sleep, if this continues
you'll be bored of me too.
You've been busy thinking of this these few days?
And I've been losing a lot at mahjong.
The hard-earned money I've made,
I've lost almost all of it.
I should go back to bed.
Get some rest.
I'll bring you to a better place tomorrow.
Don't come into this room again.
Make way!
Let's go back.
The Minister said to wait for him.
It's been two hours already.
Two people came in at the last minute.
Drive.
It's very cold outside. You could have let me wait inside.
Wait inside?
You want to go into that place?
You really want to go into where I work?
I know, forget it.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You shouldn't be so beautiful.
I was thinking of you today. My secretary said I was distracted.
He was reporting to me,
but I only saw his mouth moving.
Not a word went into my head.
I can smell your fragrance.
I couldn't concentrate.
Those two people,
We arrested them at the bus stop.
They're key members from the Chongqing cell.
He killed some of our people.
When we were arresting them,
we bludgeoned one of them till his brains spilled out.
And we still had to drag him back for questioning.
I went down with secretary Zhang.
One of them had already died.
Half of his head was gone, and his eyeballs were a pulp.
I recognised the other one, he was a classmate from the party school.
I saw his hands chained to the posts.
I couldn't say anything.
What came to my mind
was he screwing you.
The bastard's blood sprayed onto my leather shoes.
Do you know I had to clean them before I came out?
He really agreed to give you an apartment?
I already told Mrs. Yee, I'm moving out next weekend.
He was there, I don't think he'll go back on his word.
That's great. That old pervert finally let his guard down.
Once we have a fixed location it'll be easier to make a move.
There's no hurry.
What are we waiting for?
We need information. He broke our source of information,
and took our advanced American arms.
We suffered a great loss.
The strange thing is, even the Japanese are looking for these arms.
Wong Chia Chi is very important to us.
We must make full use of her.
But she has never undergone proper training.
She can't take the long-term strain.
You underestimate her. Her strength
lies in her ability to play Mrs. Mak.
It's no mean feat that she got to this point.
The superiors value her greatly.
We had two trained female comrades who hooked him for a while,
But he found them out and killed them.
We even lost a namelist to them.
You don't understand how dangerous her situation is.
She agreed to seduce Yee, and she's done it.
Now is the time for action!
Don't tell me when to take action!
Listen up, Yee killed my wife
and my two kids, but I could still
sit at the same table and have a meal with him.
This is the life of a spy!
I would like better than no one else to kill him now.
As long as he has value to us alive, I will let him live.
Continue baiting him, and report back regularly.
Don't move without my orders.
Remember.
A resistance agent only has one motivation:
loyalty.
Loyalty to the party, to the leaders, to the country. Understand?
Don't worry, I'll act accordingly.
Good.
You only need to continue luring him into the trap.
If there's a need,
What do you think this trap is?
My body? Who do you think he is?
He knows how to act better than you guys.
He not only wants to be inside my body,
but worms his way into my heart like a snake.
I'm like his slave, allowing him in.
I can only "loyally" wait, playing my role,
to get into his heart.
He'll make me bleed and cry in agony,
before he's satisfied.
That's the only way he can feel alive.
In the darkness, only he knows this is all real.
That's enough.
That's why
That's why I can let myself be tortured to breaking point,
and still continue, till I can't take it any further.
That's enough.
Every time after the final spasm,
I think, "will it be this time?"
Will our people rush in and blow his brains out?
And his blood and brains will spill all over me.
Stop it!
Was it Mr. Yee's plan to bring me to the Japanese district?
Good evening.
Welcome.
I'm looking for Mr. Yee.
This way please.
Pretty girl isn't she!
Come here.
Lieutenant Colonel Nakamura...
Sorry!
Even the girls are dumping you!
This is a customer, not one of our girls.
Keiko, go accompany Colonel Nakamura.
Get some more sake.
My apologies.
Sorry for that.
Your guest is here.
I'm punishing myself by waiting for you this time.
Why here?
Official business.
They sound like they're crying.
The Japs kill people indiscriminately, but actually they're more afraid than anyone else.
They know that eventually, once they start fighting with the Americans,
it'll be over. And all these actors
are still frivolously singing their opera.
Just listen.
I know why you asked me here.
Why?
You want me to be your whore.
Whore?
I brought you here to see how good a geisha you'd make.
I'll sing a song for you. I sing better than them.
Really?
Tears stain my sleeve,
This girl has been thinking of him all the while till now.
Go back first, I still have work to do.
So late?
I have a favour to ask you.
Tomorrow, bring this letter to this address.
Look for a man called Hali Salahuddin.
Can you remember that?
Hali Salahuddin...
If he says something to you,
or gives your something, tell me.
Keep it a secret between the two of us.
It's a name card. Only Yee's name is on it.
Put it back. What do you think?
I'm afraid Wong Chia Chi is under suspicion.
If we send some men down to scout the area we might fall into his trap.
If Wong Chia Chi goes alone it'll be dangerous too.
It's best that we keep a lookout outside.
You should go quickly.
Wong Chia Chi, I'm really sorry.
You could have done it three years ago.
Why didn't you?
Good stuff!
Hello, second brother? It's me.
I'm at Keseling's cafe now. Is everything alright at home?
Yes.
I'm good, just too busy recently
to call back home.
I'm going to go shopping today. I have a date, I'm going now.
Ok.
Well, then, there's nothing else.
I know, it'll be ok.
I'm going, goodbye.
You're late.
To Fu Kai Shen Road.
Let's drop by the jewellery shop first.
It's just nearby. The ring should be ready.
Turn back.
Wait here for me.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Do you like the one I chose?
I'm not interested in jewels.
I only want to see it on your finger.
Wear it.
I don't want to wear such a valuable thing on the streets.
You're with me.
Go, now.
Open the car door!
Miss, get on.
Where to?
Fu Kai Shen Road.
Going home?
Yes.
They're blocking the road again.
Stop, stop.
It can't be helped.
We have to wait.
Let me through.
I need to go home to cook.
They'll let you through to see a doctor, not to cook!
Wong Chia Chi.
Come up.
A bunch of college students, six of them.
They were part of a patriotic drama troupe in Hongkong.
The woman is Wong Chia Chi, she was in the papers in Hongkong.
The leader is Kuang, we've been tracking him for some time already.
Too bad we didn't get Wu, he escaped.
The shooter could have escaped from the rear of the Peace Theatre.
When we checked they all had movie tickets to fit in.
These students,
You're very informed about it aren't you?
Why didn't you tell me before?
Because of your relationship with Miss Wong.
Of course, it's all clear now.
I left her in the interrogation room.
Do you want to interrogate her personally?
She's downstairs?
Luo and Ban are watching her.
The rest have been sentenced.
It was simple, their confessions matched.
Then there's nothing left for me to ask.
We've gotten all there is to know right?
How shall we settle them?
The northern quarry.
News blackout, get it done by 10.
Your ring.
It's not mine.
Kneel down!
It's either Hunan or Sichuan dishes. They're too spicy!
If you don't eat spicy food how are you going to win hot?
What happened?
Today evening secretary Zhang and two guys from your department
came and took away her things.
And some things from the study.
Keep a lid on it.
If anyone asks, say Mrs. Mak went back to Hongkong on urgent business.
What happened?
Go down first.
Continue playing.
