Rookie Agent Rouge (胭脂)

Ends of the fingers, moving across the long dark night

The flames, not knowing when will it be quenched

This separation we have never said our goodbyes, You and me

It’s been a long time since we met

Rookie Agent Rouge

Episode 8

I'll ask you one more time.

All of your people's names,

addresses, and how to contact them.

I really don't know. If I knew I would have already told you!

Speak! Name!

Address! How to contact them!

I really don't know!

Director.

How is it going?

All he knows is this much.

Let's talk outside. -Yes.

What's he confessed to isn't anymore than what I already know.

Feng Zi Xiong has operated the intelligence network for so many years.

He should have kept a secret contact book.

But we already looked through the entire Feng house. There's nothing.

An old master like Feng Zi Xiong,

He should have a special way to record all of it.

The final hope is to open Manna's mouth.

It's just a shame that there's no time.

What is it?

Feng Zi Xiong's case has already alerted the higher ups.

Manna will be secretly taken to Nanjing tomorrow.

If she leaves, our clues will be all cut off!

How about this? I'll immediately bring in Feng Man Na for interrogation. I don't believe that she'll remain silent.

Stop!

You're always being so rash. That child is stubborn.

If something goes wrong and she dies,

we won't be able to explain it.

Sit.

Women are better at dealing with women.

Has Yanzhi gone to talk to her?

She went once. But Manna was very angry.

Yanzhi is very smart. She'll be able to think of something.

The problem is if she's willing to do it or not.

This is her responsibility.

I've already asked the superiors for a special mission

to draw her into our organization.

Give me one! Give me one!

Thank you Sister Yanzhi!

Does everyone have one? -Yes!

Come, thank Sister Yanzhi.

Thank you Sister Yanzhi!

You're welcome.

Hurry and go eat.

Come, sit down. Let's pray together.

Our powerful God. -Our powerful God.

Thank you for giving us food. -Thank you for giving us food.

Amen. -Amen.

Eat your dinner!

Yanzhi?

How are things recently?

Right now the goods and supplies in the city are getting scarce.

Prices are going up.

There are more patients in the hospital.

There're military officers. But there are even more that are commoners.

We're praying daily.

We just hope that the war can end soon.

It will. It will end.

I hope so.

Yanzhi, I heard you did something great.

What you have done is equivalent to a team.

When did I do that?

It's not just a team.

All of Shanghai should thank her.

Hello Mr. Song!

Hello!

Sister Yanzhi helped us get rid of a big traitor!

She saved all of us here in Shanghai!

Shouldn't we thank her?

Yes!

She's our big hero, right?

Yes!

Alright, let's give her a round of applause!

Yanzhi, you're so amazing.

The higher ups called from Nanjing.

You were highly praised.

This is a badge the headquarters prepared for you.

You are the first woman to accept this in history.

Who will come help me

present this badge to Sister Yanzhi?

Me! -Me!

Alright, you come.

Sister Yanzhi, you are our hero!

Thank you.

Welcome to our group.

Insider news says that the Shanghai branch might take Manna to Nanjing.

I'm guessing this is going to be important for Qing Mu.

We can use this chance to have the Japanese cooperate with us.

Do you think you can deploy the Japanese Secret Services?

I need the blueprint of the prison that Manna is in.

And?

Enough. As for the rest,

the Japanese will settle for me.

Chief, your letter.

Where is it from?

Someone dropped it off with the guard at the gate.

Where's the messenger?

He left.

Shadow's (Yingzi) message?

He's finally showing up.

It says that a great secret is on Feng Man Na.

The commander in Shanghai will escort her to Nanjing to stand trial.

We have to to rescue her at all costs then.

He requested for our help.

Then, Chief . . . what's his plan?

He activated the use of a anonymous mailbox.

The plan is in the mailbox.

You go and retrieve it.

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Love and HateTeam @ Viki

The superiors have taught us that

spies are the most determined revolutionary fighters.

Secret service agents do the jobs that others can't do.

What normal people can't do, I will do.

What others disdain from doing, I'll do it. I remember.

What others are reluctant to do, I'll be willing.

What others don't dare to do, I'll dare.

The world in front of you now is full of evil plots,

lies, and traps.

Every step you take, every word you say,

perhaps even every expression you make

might put this country's fate in danger.

Secret service agents aren't normal people.

They may be like normal people.

They have their own emotions, and are very fragile.

But you can never show any of this on the surface.

You have to keep it hidden under your faith.

You must be strong, perhaps even cold. You have to be strong, to the extent of being unfeeling.

Your heart must be like stone.

And if I can't do it?

Then can I avoid joining?

You've already succeeded.

I have one request. Let Feng Manna go.

I can do that.

As long as she is willing to be honest.

Honest about what?

Based on our analysis,

Feng Zi Xiong had a very big intelligence web.

He should have a secret contact book in his hands,

which can be used to contact all the spies.

The only one who knows about this might be Feng Manna.

As long as she is willing to tell, she can be free.

Why do you think she's the only one who knows?

Before Feng Zi Xiong died, he said a few words by her ear.

Those words might have to do with this.

Do you have any clues?

Not right now.

We don't have much time.

The Nanjing headquarters have requested for us to send her there.

Once she goes, she might never return again.

What did you say?

She might not return again.

She can't!

You have sixteen hours left.

Get me a car.

Take this.

I don't need it. I don't want my hands to be stained with blood.

The war has come to this stage.

the territories that we and the enemy occupied are really close and interlocked together.

Feng Manna is in that prison.

Shadow is smart.

Feng Manna's prison is within 5km of our territory.

His plan should work well.

Right here.

The person we need to rescue is here.

We'll break down the prison's door using bomb attack.

And place firing spots along the walls and the watchtowers.

This will cause alarm and confusion among the guards and prisoners.

Then we'll bomb the prison cells and the security office.

If there are no accidents,

the prison side

will move Feng Manna out.

And then the police in the prison will have to manage the other prisoners who tried to escape during the confusion.

This will give Shadow

an excellent opportunity to

rescue Feng Manna.

I'm worried will we hurt the person that we are rescuing?

The most crucial is the location of the security office.

Our bomb must hit the correct spot.

Once the walls of the cells are down, the prisoners will run.

Our strike force will take the disguised ambulance,

using smoke bombs as a cover,

to receive Shadow and Manna.

Boss.

What we are going to do, isn't it very risky?

So long as we can get hold of Shadow and Manna, I'm willing to risk it.

None of us have seen Shadow,

and our understanding of him is limited.

Just based on his stamp...

Chief, I'm afraid . . .

I've thought it through.

Anyway,

whether it's a trap or not, it's our only chance.

We have to take the risk.
