Hong Kong 1942

Get this to your commander

the Japanese are heading this way.

Do you know the Japs target?

It's likely Wong Nai Chung Gap.

We need to inform our troops immediately

at Jardine's Lookout.

Yes Sir! I will get this message delivered.

Hurry!

I hear something.

Shh... be quiet.

My gun is jammed!

I got it!

To the left!

I see him.

Hang in there!

I will get you bandaged up,

then we will get you home.

Ok.

Stay with me!

Stay with me!

Ok.

Will get you back to the bunker, ok!

Ok.

Come on laddie!

I got to stop.

Keep going!

Just leave me!

No! Keep going!

Almost there.

Central command, Central command.

Do you copy?

We have taken causalities Sir!

We need immediate medical support.

Good evening Mr. Norimoto.

Welcome to the Pearl Club.

What will it be?

Drinks or dancing?

Drinks.

This way please.

Guard the entrance.

Yes Sir.

You are late.

Business before pleasure.

We have to instil some discipline in Hong Kong

and keep it running smoothly.

Excuse me.

What will you have this evening?

Vodka on the rocks.

And for the madam?

Hot tea for the lady.

A minute please.

So what did the doctor say?

The baby is due in early September.

Everything looks fine.

Good.

Well, let's hope it is a boy.

As this world is not kind to girls.

Well

it will be part Japanese, at least.

Yes...

Which qualifies us to obtain the transit visa

out of Hong Kong.

Right?

Yes, yes.

I am working on that.

Excuse me.

Your tea Madam.

Thank you.

Your vodka on the rocks.

Enjoy the night.

Glory to the Japanese Emperor.

Is she your friend?

Who?

Ling?

Umm...

Yes.

She is rather popular here.

Whiskey on the rocks please.

You are late!

I got held up at a Japanese checkpoint.

Look.

Since you are new here,

I will just let it go this time.

But all the girls here

have to follow the same rules.

Understand?

Yes, I understand.

Here comes the Japanese commander.

What can I help you Sir?

Good evening.

Your dress

very nice.

The secret to the cheongsam

is that it reveals the leg.

Of course...

The Japanese kimono is much more refined.

But I suppose you are

just beginning to learn about our Japanese culture here.

Do you see this man featured on this banknote?

He was the trusted advisor to Kammu.

One of the strongest Emperors ever to rule Japan.

And it was on his advice

that the capital was moved to Kyoto.

A city of unparalleled cultural refinement,

even to this day.

My name is Norimoto.

Should we continue our little history lesson upstairs?

Somewhere more private... maybe?

I just work on the dance floor, nothing more.

I see.

A higher price, maybe...

You know.

The fall of Hong Kong happened rather quickly.

But not every battle is won on first contact.

Have a good evening, Miss Ling.

Hi Charles.

How are you today?

Want some black tea or green tea?

Do you have an earthy, strong black blend?

Ah...

We have a special one for you.

Do you want to try some?

Sure.

How much do you want?

100 grams.

Are there any more updates on the prisoner camp?

Yes.

It's not good.

The record reported three more prisoner deaths.

The real number was

twelve this week alone.

At the Sham Shui Po prisoner camp?

Yes.

3 British, 2 Canadians, 4 Indians and 3 Chinese.

They have little food and no medicine.

Bad.

Very bad.

I should be able to make another delivery.

There is a shipment coming into Hong Kong tomorrow.

I know the captain.

They sometimes have medical supplies on board.

Very good.

This is the latest list

of the prisoners in need of medical help.

Ok.

Ok.

I will look into it.

To see if they have any family in Hong Kong.

I almost forget.

It's for you.

Careful!

Japanese spies are everywhere in this city.

Good day Mr. Ma.

Good day.

Until next time.

Enjoy my tea.

You're late.

Twenty minutes.

Where were you?

I had other business.

Who is he?

My associate.

He is trustworthy, and reliable.

Unlike the person standing in front of me.

I apologise.

Do you have the guns for me?

Under the canvas.

There are only three rifles!?

Each rifle was taken from a dead soldier.

Dead Japanese soldier.

How many Japanese did you take down this week?

I see.

Be safe out there.

Someday,

you will also pull the trigger,

lay a bullet into the enemy.

Don't miss the shot,

or else you will be dead.

Damn it man! Slow down!

Sir.

Our agent in Hong Kong has reappeared.

Which one?

Agent 136.

I verified the codes,

Agent 136 is back.

Thank God.

After seven weeks of going silent,

I was beginning to feel the worst.

Yes.

Our Agent is requesting a resupply.

The drop-off is to be Lantau Island,

near a fishing village called Tai O.

Tricky,

we might need a local help on this one.

Alright I will see what we can do.

Yes, sir.

Have you ever thought about leaving Hong Kong?

Many times.

But I can't.

Not yet.
