Episode 1

Nanjing, 9th September 1945

Nanjing Railway Station

Xiao Yu, have you heard? We've won the war.

The Japanese devils surrendered. The ceremony to honour those inured and killed is today, in Nanjing.

I know that your murderer is also in this city.

Your blood will not be spilled in vain.

This is the data from the chemical and biological weapons research team of the Japanese's 511th battalion.

We need to make sure our people get it as soon as possible.

Ci Hang, you must take it and make it public.

Let people know what the Japanese are up to.

Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yu!

Ci Hang, go, quick!

Zhong Tian (Nakata), I know you are in Nanjing.

I definitely need to find you and avenge Xiao Yu.

There are so many bad characters here. It seems like a good show is about to come on.

Hello, Police Chief Huo.

Keep vigilant and maintain order.

As per your order, we have blocked the streets and isolated the pedestrian routes. Everything is fine.

Today the Japanese are set to surrender. The whole world watches us.

We are not allowed to make any mistakes and embarass the chairman.

Please rest assured. We have finished all the preparations, but we did not expect you to come and check them personally.

How could I not come with such a big event coming?

Besides, I wanted to see if Nanjing would raise its head again.

Nakata-san, the surrender ceremony

will start in an hour.

What a shame.

This is really a great shame for Japan.

Have our people been cared for? - Arrangements have been made.

Everything is under our watch. Our goods will be picked up by someone at 9 o'clock.

The cargo will be sent out on time. Zhongtian, why is it at 9 o'clock?

Because at this time, everyone's attention will be on the Nanjing Army Headquarters.

Let the Chinese people go celebrate.

Remember. The cargo in our possession is Japan's last bit of honor.

It must be executed flawlessly. Act now.

Yes.

Chief Huo.

The surrendering ceremony is about to begin.

How come I do not see Mo Cai Shi?

Report, Police Chief Huo. Police Director Mo said he is not coming today.

What? Who allowed him to have such a nerve?!?

This is such an important event, and he, as the police chief, is not coming?

What kind of joke is this?!?

Chief, should you be making an appearance at the surrounding ceremony.

If you don't go, is it appropriate?

How long until the train station?

About 5-6 minutes.

Hurry it up.

Rickshaw!

Watch that suitcase.

The plan has already been exposed. Quick, come with me!

Stop the car.

Okay. Let your people be in charge of the peripheral,

and let us settle the remaining things.

Yes, yes.

Boss, who was that? Why did we let him go?

Stupid, didn't you see the Zhong Zheng dagger? Only those close to and favored by the Generalissimo have one of it.

Report! The guest has arrived.

But there are too many stalkers. They were the ones who started the fight.

Bring that thing back to me at all costs.

Kill whoever who dares to obstruct.

Move out of the way!

I'll leave this to you. - Ok.

Xiao Ye.

Cheng, how come it is you?

Where is Nakata?

Stop right there!

I told you to stand still. Don't you understand?

Who are you?

Police. Put your hands in the air.

What's your name?

Japanese devil, enough with your useless words.

I'm not Japanese. He is.

Did you see?

I saw. You two are a team.

I said I'm not a Japanese. - You don't need to explain this much to me.

If you have something to say, then come with me to the police station to say it. Come here.

Don't move.

Told you not to move!

Get rid of them all.

Let the police station get rid of them. Tell them to find a quiet place so that it doesn't get messy.

You're still looking?

Look any more at me and I'll rip out your eyeballs.

Let me tell you miss, you know you treating me like this isn't fair. You want to know why earlier I didn't kill you?

You look too much like a person I know.

So many useless words. Hurry up and move.

Miss, you were using a Mauser pistol, right?

I know that before the war broke out in Germany, the government imported some German Mouser guns for the policemen.

You don't seem too experienced using it. - Not experienced?

Then do you want me to try to see how experienced I am to kill you in one shot?!

Don't, Don't, Don't.

I believe that your Director Mo won't have his subordinates randomly firing at people.

Especially since I am your

Director Mo's relative. -You're a relative of Director Mo?

What a coincidence. I am also a relative of Director Mo.

What?

You're Chief Mo's relative. -Yes.

Ha ha, look.

This entire truck is full of your relatives. Put him in the back.

Let him have a reunion with his relatives. -But I really am his relative.

Behave yourself! Take him away.

You guys can't be like this.

I'll leave these people with you. Under Director Mo's orders

take them to a quiet place and don't leave anyone alive.

Yes. - Go.

Old Liu, come here.

What is the meaning? Are they all going to be killed?

Isn't this the superior's orders?

Police Officer Ouyang,

what kind of treasure was in that suitcase?

Let me tell you, the person I caught earlier,

was the only one who was in close contact with the injured person. Perhaps he knows what's in the suitcase.

Why are you so concerned about the life and death of an enemy agent?

Let me ask you. Have you found the suitcase? - Not yet.

Yes, since the suitcase is gone, we can't kill him.

Let me tell you, I want to catch him so that he can tell us what's in that suitcase.

1945, September 9th, at nine o clock

the surrender ceremony officially starts.

Chief of Staff He Ying Qin passes the Instrument of Surrender, stamped by the Japanese,

to Yasuji Okamura to sign.

His hands, which are stained with Chinese blood, are trembling.

Finally,

Yasuji Okamura signs his evil name on the Instrument of Surrender.

On the vast land of China, oppressed by foreigners for hundreds of years,

people were humiliated and killed.

We can finally stand up!

Millions of anti-Japanese soldiers, can finally

rise from the sea of blood which almost suffocated them.

Nanjing people, who have experienced the great bloodshed,

after going through eight years of hell,

now welcome the dawn of victory.

Finally over. This battle is finally over.

Report! There is a gun battle at the railway station square.

What? What is Mo Cai Shi doing as the Police Director?

Director Mo, you've arrived. Please come in.

Chiang Kai-shek disregards the five-four file

as evidence which unveils how the Japanese army tortured Chinese through conducting bacteriological experiments.

He does not intend to hand it directly over to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East

and use it in the trials of Japanese war criminals.

Instead, he wants to use it as a bargaining chip for his private negotiations with the US government,

in exchange for weapons and personal gain for the government party.

This deception plan has fooled everyone.

Director, over here.

Lock it up.

Director, how long are we putting it there?

I don't know.

You will act as if it doesn't even exist. Understand? - Understood.

Additionally, starting from tomorrow,

you will go on leave.

Leave?

Go, Hurry up. Hurry up!

You, come back!

Hurry up. What were you doing?

Behave yourself!

Qian Qian, look at these barren mountains and bald ridges. How do we find him?

This person could start a fight at the railway station square,

he must be after the suitcase.

When I fought with him just now, I realized that his skills were particularly good.

Actually, it would be very easy for him to win over us.

But, I'm not sure why he did not lay violent hands upon us.

He must have only cared about the suitcase, and he had no time deal with you.

No, the thing that he was most interested in was not that suitcase,

but the Japanese person carrying the suitcase. Additionally, it looked like it wasn't the first time the two met.

So, that's why I believe he must know something.

I just want to find him and interrogate him.

Hurry up.

Small step. Hurry up.

Hurry up. Go!

I will kill you if you say anymore nonsense! Faster! - Spare my life!

Move!

Don't move.

Don't move.

Don't move, brothers.

If you move, I'll shoot him.

Tell them not to follow us.

Don't move. Put down your guns.

Officer, are you ok?

Don't worry about me. Fire!

Yes!

Good day, Police Chief Huo!

Ask Yan Da Qing to come here.

Good day, Police Chief Huo!

This chair is more comfortable than mine.

Report!

Police Chief Huo, why did you come here personally?

I came here to see

how much longer hat fellow Mo Cai Shi can sit in this car.

The security in the capital is a mess.

You can't even find his shadow. Where did he go?

Reporting, Director!

I haven't seen Director Mo for the entire day.

You again? Looks like we really have fate.

Yes, we do have fate.

But this time don't try to use any tricks.

Go back with me.

Relax, I won't run.

I'll just go with you guys.

Which police academy did you graduate from? Your instructor has such a poor quality. You execute the suspect without checking his identity,
